Taconic Golf Club
In the fall of 2002 women’s golf hosted the first of their
annual event at Taconic Golf Club. Taconic, continually rated
one of the top collegiate golf courses in the nation, is owned by
Williams College and home to both the men’s and women’s
teams.
The Boston Globe voted Taconic number one in the state for scenic
beauty, as well as the “seventh most difficult” and
“fourth most pleasurable to play” compared to 200 of
the finest courses in the northeast. The Club, which is just
a short walk from the heart of campus, has a long and storied
history. This history is enhanced by its outstanding layout,
superb course conditions, and magnificent Berkshire vistas.
The New
York Times noted some of the recent changes to the
layout at The Taconic Golf Club in an article by Bill Pennington on
August 31, 2009.

Additional Practice
Facilities
In addition to playing at one of the nation’s finest
courses, the women’s golf team has access to all of the
training facilities that the College offers. The weight
training and nautilus center, both in Lasell Gymnasium, may be used
in and out of season to improve conditioning, flexibility, and
strength. Lasell also offers three indoor hitting areas, used
during inclement conditions, and for swing analysis and technical
preparation. Here, state of the art video equipment is
frequently used to aid in swing technique. Finally, a
practice range at Cole Field and a large putting green as well as a
practice bunker and wedge area at Taconic gives the Ephs an
opportunity to consistently improve and fine tune their game.
