Taconic
Taconic Golf Club, located on the campus of Williams College in Williamstown, lies in the far northeast corner of Massachusetts. The championship golf course ranks with some of the best in the state, and is continually rated as one of the top collegiate golf courses in the United States.
This gently rolling tree-lined and open parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area.
Pick of the holes: the long par-3 17th hole is the only surviving hole from the original seven-hole course laid out in 1896.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends during golf season (April thru' Nov).
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2020].

Good
Operated by an independent board of directors, Taconic Golf Club is located on the campus of Williams College, a highly-selective private liberal arts college, established by Ephraim Williams in 1793. The college has many distinguished alumni (including former USA President James Garfield). Its athletics teams are known as the "Ephs".
The Club played host to the US Women's Amateur Championship in 1963 (see our Tournaments section >by Venue >Taconic).
Massachusetts: 15th best course in Mass. (Golf Digest, 2023/24).
USA: 84th best public course in the USA (Golf Digest, 2023).
USA (campus): 3rd best college/campus course in the USA (Golfweek, 2022).
The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
