One of the most beautiful public golf courses (voted number 1 or 2 in New England every year),…read moreTaconic 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.

You could play it the rest of your life and never tire of it. The club is so extremely welcoming. They make you feel like a member. The locker room, the grill, the patio are all wonderful.

I live in the south now and forgot how much work it is to golf in the mountains. I'm using that as an excuse for how many balls I lost, and not an indicator of how poorly I played at all. Just kidding. I suck. We all had fun though, and although the scores may not reflect it, we had a great day together and the weather was amazing and we made many memories to be shared for years.

The Pro Shop has a homey, farm-esque feel to it. We checked in at 8:30 for a 9:10 tee time and were told, for the first time, that we had to be off the course at 1:00 for a shotgun start tournament. On a busy Saturday, that would be a stretch. "Driving range" was just a few grass mats where you hit balls off a cliff; interesting. Course was nice, needed a little water. And the rough was deep. I'm not sure if this on purpose or a lack of maintenance. Course had nice views. Very hilly, some blind shots, but not as many as Killington. It was very tough to figure out how to get to the next hole, we had to turn around a few times. After we finished the round, we wanted to check out the bar and maybe grab a bite to eat. However, there is no bar or restaurant. Just a snack window, though it appears the food they were producing was high quality. Overall, for $120, I'd rather go to Green Mountain. Though, Fox Run is still be best course "around" - hands down.

If you end up playing here, though, you'll be treated to one of the best 18 holes you can play in Massachusetts. This course is very well maintained, and very challenging. There are almost no holes that you can survive with an innacurate tee shot. The course itself is very long, and has difficult shots around its very protected greens. The course was designed by Donald Ross, and you can see some of his trademark elements still in the design. If you' have enough money to become a member here, I would seriously consider it.
