Thunderhart Golf Freehold sits in Greene County in upstate New York, in the Northern Catskills. Its front nine, designed by Francis Duane in a traditional style, opened in 1969 and offers broad views of the surrounding mountains. The back nine was created by William Gressick, PGA, in 2000, cut in parkland fashion through the wooded land of the property.
The course has been owned by the Krasney family since 2022, with ongoing work on both the course and its facilities.
Practice options include a putting green just outside the pro shop and a driving range of more than 250 yards. Golf instruction can be arranged through the pro shop, and an indoor golf simulator featuring courses from around the world is available during the winter.
