Review: Taconic Golf Club

August 7, 2019

With an idyllic setting in the Berkshires, a terrific layout, and a challenging set of greens, the semi-private Taconic Golf Club is extremely underrated and is absolutely the finest course the public has access to in New England. Although quite isolated, any fan of golf architecture owes it to themselves to check out this classic gem. … More Review: Taconic Golf Club

Patriot Hills features many holes with elevated teeboxed but none seem as severe or beautiful as the 11th hole, a long par 4 that plays much shorter than the scorecard. Strategic bunkers line both sides and the hole then runs back uphill towards a table-top green. There are several holes like this at Patriot Hills and they are a blast to play!
One of the best things about golf instagram is discovering new courses. When I saw Patriot Hills a few years back, I knew I had to play it. I finally was able to this Fall and really enjoyed it.
Wolf Creek has some extremely difficult holes including two par threes on the front 9 that are among the hardest I’ve ever seen. The 8th hole is probably the most difficult on the course as a 248 yard downhill par 3 from the Back Tees. This target green is surrounded by a river short, left, and long with very little room for error. Tall hills surround the creek and make for a truly beautiful hole.
The opening hole at the very difficult Wolf Creek provides one of the best birdie opportunities on the course. As a downhill, medium-length par 5, this gorgeous hole features a generous fairway lined by bunkers and desert. Like most greens at Wolf Creek, this one slopes heavily back-to-front.
The 469 yard 5th hole is the shortest par 5 at Wolf Creek and offers perhaps the most gorgeous teeshot on the course. From an elevated teebox, this teeshot requires a carry of at least 200 yards just to reach a diagonal fairway. From here, the hole runs uphill but long hitters will be able to reach in two.
