The
Town of Guilderland's Western Turnpike Golf Course.
The twenty-seven hole Western Turnpike Golf Course in Guilderland
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, and cross country skiing,
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.
