Island Green Resort and Golf Club occupies 100 acres in the Catskill foothills of Greenville, New York, roughly 40 minutes south of Albany. The course dates to 1920 and has been run by the Birmann family for more than a century.
The 18-hole public layout plays to a par of 71 and measures 6,283 yards from the back tees, with a course rating of 69.2 and a slope of 120. Five sets of tees accommodate a range of abilities. Its signature feature is a true island green — a par 3 ringed by water on every side, a rarity among courses in the Catskills.
Memberships are available, with access to the 18-hole course and member events.
