One of the most beautiful public golf courses (voted number 1 or 2 in New England every year), Taconic offers tournament quality golf to anyone. The course is beautiful, with a manageable front and long back 9 (6500 yrs) from the middle tees.
The course is open and even high handicap golfers will not lose many balls; there are really only a few spots on the course that are truly out of bounds.
The staff is typically very friendly, Jeremy who manages the bag room is particularly nice. The pros are all great too. The whole place is well maintained, as they do host PGA (junior/womens) events from time to time. The greens play very fast towards the end of summer, and some of them slope in ways that will really frustrate anyone.
Price-wise, the place is on the upper end if you have no college affiliation (about 140 or so) but is exceptionally cheap for students (35 dollars) so definitely a place to visit if you are in the area and still in school.
The course truly cannot be recommended enough, and it offers some exceptional views of both the Williams College campus and the surrounding areas. read more
