Schenectady Curling Club

Well, after my original review I ended up joining the club after a learn to curl event, and it’s been like a second home since. The bar may be the best deal in town (members only), the curling is great, the hospitality warm, and the vibe both traditional (it’s a 500 year old sport, after all) and forward looking (with an active youth program, which both my kids participate in now). Look for learn to curl events on the website or on the outside sign, and open houses (usually in October and in Olympic years around the Olympics), or just drop in during evenings during the curling season (October to March) and ask for some information and stop to watch a while. Four sheets of ice, there are leagues almost every night and some afternoons, open to curlers of all sorts of experience levels.

This is a wonderful place to watch or play the sport of curling.
