I've never played golf, though my husband proclaims this course is some serious business. This year, for our sledding adventures, he pointed out the roped putting greens atop our community's favorite sledding hill. I was scared it was a dangerous area (like a patch of thin ice or something- but I knew there was no water there. Haha ⛸️). These guys have done some quality maintenance and upgrades to this course. A real local treasure 😍. He also pointed out the steepness of the our sledding hill DIRECTLY NEXT TO that hole. Good luck finding your ball if you end up hitting even close to the hill. It's going to roll all the way down the hill in shin high grass. See you at the top!! ⛳🏌️‍♀️🏂❄️

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 🌅📸

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.
