Frear Park, Aug 31, 2010

reviewer: Golf Guy from troy,ny

Nice course. Hilly with fast greens. I find them very easy to misread. Unforgiving fourth and fifth holes. Long back nine. Course could be kept in better condition.

League player review, Jul 07, 2008

reviewer: Bomber from Troy ny

Frear Park is a very nice muni golf course. The front nine is hilly with undulating greens, you don't want to be above the pin. The back nine was added later, a Robert Trent Jones design, is much more wide open and extremely user friendly. Long par threes are a trademark as are par 5's reachable in two for the longer hitters. The greens on the back nine are challenging as well. The back nine is an easy walk. The staff that work at the bar/restaurant are very cordial and friendly as are all the starters and pro shop staff. Try it, you'll like it...

Wicker Park Golf Course
"Great place to go have fun!"
This course is a fun and challenging course. I gave it 4 stars because no course is perfect. The only problem with this course is there is a lot of trees which means there are usually a lot of leaves on the ground, especially in the fall. You also have to think about the trees themselfs, because no matter what everybody tells you, trees are NOT 90% air.

TPC at Eagle Trace
"Awesome"
Might be the best course in Florida
---Bart Potter, WA
Champions Club at Summerfield
"Champions is a great value"
A typical Fazio layout, usually well maintained with some very challenging holes.
---Scott, South Florida
New Paltz Golf Course
"New paltz Golf"
Great course. Always in great shape and very green. Very challenging layout. Quick greens. One downfall: Only nine holes without separate tee positions for a "back nine". You have to play the same tees twice if you want to complete eighteen.
