Williamstown, MA · 7.0 mi away

Taconic Golf Club is a semi-private, par-71, 18-hole course in Williamstown, Massachusetts, owned by Williams College. Its origins trace to 1896, when William Howard Doughty, James M. Ide and others laid out an early course on land next to the college's athletic fields. Wayne Stiles of Stiles & Van Kleek designed the current 18-hole layout, completed in 1927-28 on about 100 acres. Many greens sit atop knolls, with the challenge concentrated around the putting surfaces rather than off the tee, and the par-3 17th is the only hole surviving from the original 1896 layout. Gil Hanse renovated the course in 2009. Visitors may play on a limited basis alongside members.

Waubeeka Golf Links is located in South Williamstown, Massachusetts, in a river valley at the confluence of several Berkshire mountain ranges, with the Green River running through the front nine. The property was formerly farmland owned by the Rhodes family. Colonel Rowland Armacost designed, built and originally operated the course, which opened in 1966 as his only complete eighteen-hole creation. The layout is known for sharply sloping greens and around a hundred feet of elevation change on the back nine, with later renovation work by architect Mark Mungeam of the Cornish, Silva and Mungeam firm. Waubeeka operates as a public course offering various membership options alongside daily fee play, and it hosts tournaments, junior camps and community events throughout the year.

Dalton, MA · 11 mi away

Wahconah Country Club was conceived in October 1928, when a group of Dalton residents hired Wayne Stiles to design an 18-hole course on the eastern hills of Berkshire County. Stiles laid out the front nine, which opened for play in the fall of 1929, while John Van Kleek designed the back nine. The formal opening was held on May 30, 1930. The front nine plays through open fairways with large greens and long views across the Berkshires. The back nine tightens considerably, with narrower, tree-lined fairways and smaller greens that demand positional golf off the tee. The par-71 layout measures 6,553 yards from the back tees with a course rating of 71.9 and a slope of 126. Wahconah has operated as a semi-private club throughout its history, welcoming daily-fee players alongside its membership. The bent-grass tees, fairways, and greens reflect the course's original Stiles and Van Kleek design, which has remained largely intact for more than ninety years.
