Ive been playing at Stadium for years and it has ALWAYS been in magnificent condition. It is easily one of the best maintained public courses in the area. A sand based course with one bunker and very little in the way of water trouble sets itself up to be a very stress free round of golf for the average golfer. I truly live at the driving range which is easily one of the best if not THEE best in the area. KUDOS to the ownership, staff and crew for making Stadium a place that will be a favorite of many.And I might also add, that they have an excellent bar, lounge and restaurant. They have a very nice outside patio (overlooking the 9th and 18th greens} for golfers to relax and re-cap their stellar shots of the day. You cant go wrong by paying Stadium a visit.
Great place to play early in season. Always opens first and is nice and dry from the winter. After things get going, WAY over priced, but an excellent condition a majority of the time. Tees, fairways and greens very very nice!!! Only 3 stars because its a bit boring for me. I dont hit the ball very far, but I play the back tees to get some challenge. Rounds have a tendency to take 5 hours and for a golf course where its impossible to lose a ball, thats just too long. Would always play when I could.this is for James Gerrard - Best Public course in the area?? Send me some of what you are smoking!!!!
Nice place to practice early in the season when a lot of public practice ranges are still closed.Reason, no wet, muddy ground and the range has adequate grass to give you a little more confidence to hit the ball of the grass without using the artificial mats at other places. Only downside is the range faces south so depending on the time of day you may not see where the ball lands when its full sun.Highly recommended, early, mid and late season.
Starter is extremely miserable and rude. I set a 7 pm tee time online. When I showed up, he told me there wasn’t a reservation. He then complained he already put the carts away and continued to complain as he retrieved our cart. Next, he started to ridicule me for selecting 18 holes. I explained there was no option for 9 holes online and it was our intent to only play 9 holes. This was our first time golfing and it was horrible experience.
First time here and Im coming back As a NY summertime golfer, this place is top notch. Extremely well kept up, fairways are in great shape as well as greens. No lost ball factor, as there is no brush or veru long grass. Bunkers are non-existent. Great scenery in the middle of Schenectady.
Grounds well kept and course is nice and straightforward, but the service guy who came out on a cart to harangue our foursome for playing slowly started the conversation exasperated and rude, and didnt get any friendlier. A league had caught up to us and was being held up, but he couldnt offer us any solution except for us to cut short our 9 Holes and leave the course. We arent skilled players, but I was surprised how rudely we were treated.

2022-06-03Im a 10 handicap 67 yr old. I tend to get a tee time as a single, and join in with a 2- or 3- some. Met different folks, and always seem to have fun, despite skill level. Stadium is very well maintained, with smooth & quick greens. You can play the ball down on fairways, not always the case with public courses. Overall, a really nice place to play.

2022-06-12Reserved an 18 with a cart and because they wanted to get out Early they kicked us off after 9. miserable workers.never thought I would get kicked off a course at 6pm. This is exactly why they are closing this course down

2020-10-17Really good place for beginning golfers. Not a lot of areas that will penalize you if you don’t hit the fairway. Love their driving range. Hate how slow it can be.

2021-10-07Every time I played this course this year it was a green carpet. The greens are always smooth with good speed. The rest of the Capital Region could be under water and at Stadium you wouldnt know it. These guys deliver a consistent quality golf experience.

2021-05-21I grew up just a few streets away from this course and played it many times. It is such a fun course for a few reasons...Its the beginning of the season and Ive been to the range and feel pretty good but I just want to go out and play, not necessarily play a super competitive round - Stadium. The fairways are so nice and open, very wide. I dont feel pressure to have to be on with my driver; If I let it a little loose I can still play it and actually play a decent shot from there too..Conversely... Its difficult enough that if you are trying to shoot a great round, you are still challenged enough to make it super fun.Im roughly a bogey ball player; I may hit 3-5 pars in a round and possibly a birdie (or two?) just to give you an idea of my skill level. I cant comment on anything super particular here; its a well kept course that is very playable just about anywhere you land and hole 12 is quite a nice looking par 3...but youll need a good ~190 club in the bag to get there! ;)

2021-08-21Stadium Golf club has our Go-To course during this rainy summer season! It is well maintained and we are treated well even when we decide to walk the course instead of riding in a golf cart! Yes membership has its privileges! But nobody treats us any differently when we play there!

2020-07-27Booked a tee time on the very convenient Stadium website. Tee times and course flow very well managed. Friendly staff, nice pro shop and clean clubhouse. The course is in great shape. Smooth well groomed fairways and big greens very well maintained. The rough is moderate, not too thick, some trees, but not too much trouble. Fun, well maintained, challenging course. Highly recommend!

2021-08-10Very well maintained course with a fenced in driving range. Greens, tee boxs and fairways were in great shape. Will definitely play again when in the area.
