The Taconic Golf Course is also a great place to run, especially when its wet and sloppy.

'''Par 5, 475 yards.''' The first tee is only yards from the door of the pro shop and outdoor patio, providing an intimate setting to begin the round. A wide fairway greets the player, only narrowing to a 20-yard wide neck at a shallow gully 275 yards off the tee. The generous fairway did not help Williams golfer Will Sirignano '06 in 2003, as he blocked a ball to the right - over the trees, over the 18th fairway, over the out of bounds fence, and onto the football field - a mere 75 yards offline! The green tilts left to right and the bunker 30 yards short of the green left is a poor place to leave second shots.

The golf at Taconic Golf Club and the academics at Williams College are both among the best the United States has to offer. There is nothing better than a Saturday afternoon spent golfing on Taconic with the crisp air, changing leaves, and the roar of Williams College [[football]] reverberating across the entire course. Every student should make it a point to play a round at Taconic sometime during their four years here.
