Beautiful day and setting for a walk to enjoy the gorgeous weather for the last day of October. We stopped at Park Pub for takeout to carry up to eat at our favorite spot near Hole 10. Amazing views to enjoy during our lunch, and then we walked the perimeter of the last several holes of the course. We are so lucky that Frear Park is part of our neighborhood.

Frear Park Municipal Golf Course – Aerial Photographer’s Perspective As an aerial photographer, I’m always on the lookout for locations that combine natural beauty, open space, and unique textures from above—and Frear Park Municipal Golf Course in Troy, NY delivers all three in stunning fashion. From the drone’s vantage point, the course unfolds like a green patchwork quilt, with rolling fairways, carefully sculpted bunkers, and tree-lined edges that glow with seasonal color. Early mornings reward you with misty fairways and soft golden light, while late afternoons bring dramatic shadows that add incredible depth to every shot. One of the highlights of my visit was capturing the serene ponds and water features that reflect the sky like mirrors, creating breathtaking symmetry from above. The elevation changes across the course also make for dynamic perspectives—perfect for sweeping panoramas or tight, detailed compositions. Frear Park isn’t just a golfer’s haven—it’s a photographer’s playground. Whether you’re flying a drone or simply enjoying the scenery, the combination of natural landscapes and well-maintained greens offers endless visual opportunities. This visit left me with a gallery of vibrant images that truly showcase the beauty of Troy. If you’re in the area, whether to play a round or to simply soak in the views, Frear Park is a must-see. — Drone Shot Media Capturing New York from Above 🌅📸

One of my favorite places to just sit and enjoy the view, a lot of wonderful people passing by the spot that I sit and watch the people playing through the golf course. The ninth hole is the best spot in my opinion to be, you can see for quite a distance. As a person with a disability I am able to safely travel up to the ninth hole on my mobility scooter while not bothering the golfers. A beautiful gift to the public!

I had the pleasure to play golf at Frear Park Golf Course today. The course is in beautiful shape with the total playing feeling of being at a Private Country Club. The greens are so perfect that I made several long birdies putts due to the great care that the greens are given by the Course Maintenance Staff. I especially wanted to single out the wonderful mowing style used to create a quality test of golf especially on the Par 3 17th Hole. Totally an exclusive Private Country Club style of presentation for golfers of all levels. Troy residents are very fortunate to have this wonderful product in their city limits. Leo E.

Great course. Wet day, but the course held up great. Challenging for an amateur, but fun to play. Holes were placed in challenging spots on the greens, but that added to the game. Terrain features were great. Definitely recommend.
