Est. 1927 · Wayne Stiles & John Van Kleek
Why we love this place
We love Taconic for its Golden Age bones and its heart. A walkable Stiles & Van Kleek layout tucked into the Berkshires, home to a college team yet open to real golfers who appreciate classic design. History, mountains, and honest golf in one tidy package.

About Taconic Golf Club
Taconic Golf Club traces its roots to 1896, when three Williams College men reportedly sank tomato cans into Weston Field to fashion a rudimentary course. The modern layout arrived in 1927-28, after Williams alumnus George Cluett secured land and commissioned the Boston firm of Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek; construction began in August 1927 and the eighteen holes opened by Labor Day 1928 as a par-73. Set against the Berkshire hills in the state's northwest corner, the course sits on land owned by Williams College but is run by an independent board and serves as the college's home course. Long regarded as one of New England's finest, Taconic has hosted USGA qualifying and NCAA Division III championship play, and it remains celebrated for its classic, walkable Golden Age design.
