Country Club of Troy

Laid out on a hilly, 325-acre woodland site, the old course at the Country Club of Troy was Walter Travis’s final design. Recently extended during restoration work by Renaissance Golf Design, it’s still short by modern day standards.

“This hidden gem up the Hudson from New York City traverses some steep hills, commented Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, “but Travis’ wonderful set of greens make it worth the hike. Their combination of serious internal contours and the general tilt of the land can make deciphering putts quite difficult. Bruce Hepner has done his best to restore the bunkering to the same standard as the greens, and to thin out the trees so the golfer’s eye can enjoy the variety of contour he must tackle.”

World Top 100 Golf Courses

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
