Margaretville: Art, Theater, and Golf

Margaretville brings together culture, golf, and a strong connection to the landscape. If you’re looking for a hotel in Margaretville, your main interest can guide your trip planning. First, decide whether you want to focus on cultural events, golf, or the regional landscape: art and theater sit alongside golf, as well as the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway and the border with Catskill Park. This can help you plan your travel dates around your priorities.

Margaretville Between the Byway and Catskill Park

The Village of Margaretville is a member community of the Catskill Mountains Scenic Byway. The Byway covers more than 50 miles of Route 28; membership places the village along this longer road route. Margaretville also borders Catskill Park, which encompasses 770,000 acres of preserved, protected public land kept in a permanently natural state. The two details offer different points of reference for planning a trip: the Byway describes the regional route connection, while the park represents the adjoining protected landscape. This gives you two ways to understand the area’s character: through a road route and through the protected status of its public land.

Culture: Gallery, Theater, and Festival

Longyear Gallery is an artist-run cooperative gallery featuring monthly exhibitions by emerging and established artists from New York State. The Open Eye Theater produces new plays and classical theater productions and offers professional theater training and educational programs. The cultural offerings therefore vary by format: visual art at the gallery, and stage productions and theater education at the Open Eye Theater. The gallery offers a monthly exhibition schedule, while the theater combines a repertoire with educational offerings. The historic Margaretville Cauliflower Festival celebrates Margaretville’s agricultural, farming, and community traditions. Exhibition and theater programs, as well as the specific festival program, may change; the availability of educational offerings can also vary. Check the dates and programs relevant to your travel dates.

Golf and Other Recreational Activities

The Meadows Golf Center has a 9-hole golf course and a practice facility. It is located in the valley between Margaretville and Arkville, and its address is in Margaretville. Golf lessons are also available. The practice facility and lessons add two distinct golf options to the course: practice on your own and guided instruction. The grounds also have a 9-hole disc golf course. Traditional golf and disc golf are different games offered at the same center. Both courses have nine holes, so the type of game matters more than the number of holes when choosing between them. Check the golf course’s operating status and availability, as well as lesson availability, before your visit; disc golf course availability may also change. The East Branch of the Delaware River in Margaretville is associated with freshwater fishing and offers a recreational option distinct from the Golf Center.
