Welcome to the 2008 season!

The Town of Guilderland's Western Turnpike Golf Course.

The twenty-seven hole Western Turnpike Golf Course in Guilderland has a profound history that spans over 100 years.

In 1929 the Realty Golf Corporation, the holder of two golf courses in the Albany area, was forced to liquidate as a result of the great depression. The Stanford Golf Course, formerly located at the Mohawk Mall site was turned over to shareholders, while CEO Ned Vrooman held the Western Turnpike Golf Course. Later the course would be turned over to the Szatkowski family to own and operate for over sixty years.

The Town of Guilderland is now proud to offer its residents golf, banquet and picnic facilities, cross country skiing, and ice skating, after acquiring the course in 2002.

Whether playing the blue, white, or the ever demanding red course, Western Turnpike promises an unparalleled experience with its outstanding greens and challenging layout for golfers of all ability. We are truly looking forward to your visit.
