As we at GCA have always agreed, the most crucial test of a golf course is its playability for golfers of all standards. From the Golden Age onwards, ‘challenging for the best but fun for the hack’ has been the biggest praise any golf course – or its architect – can receive...Albany’s practice facilities are outstanding, and a number of its professional golfer residents use them to tune up for Major championships in peace. They clearly also help World Challenge competitors get their game ultra-sharp too. By any standards other than those of the top Tour guys, Albany is a tough, tough golf course.
