Troy Botanical Garden

The new hours for golfing are quite restricted, and I've noticed a decline in the maintenance of the course over the past few years.

I paid $8 for entry to a 1.3-mile loop, which I confirmed using my watch's GPS and Google Maps. Although their website states it's a 2-mile loop that takes an hour to complete, I finished it in just 24 minutes, including the time walking to and from my car. The trail had some areas with a lot of bugs, grass clippings scattered along the path, and only a few interesting sculptures to admire. If you're looking for a good walking spot, I recommend Frear Park or the Brunswick Community Center instead.

The course is in poor condition. The greens are mostly dead grass with numerous ant hills. The tee boxes are overrun with weeds, and large areas of the course are extremely unruly and unmowed. I would love to enjoy a small par 3 course nearby, but charging $25 for 9 holes on such a neglected course is excessive. If the new owners continue to renovate and reseed much of the turf, I would be happy to give it another try next year and update my review.

Should not be open, grass not cut, greens awful, carts barely move, and we were charged full price.

This is no longer a golf course. It is an odd place with little to no appeal. Go to Frear Park or Mill Road Acres.
