Changes

Taconic Golf Club is owned by Williams College and currently rated the #1 collegiate course in the nation by Golfweek Magazine. It also claims the 30th spot in the best public courses in the United States according to Golf Magazine. Taconic is located at the southern edge of campus at 19 Meacham Street, next to Weston Field. It is less than a 5 minute walk from Spring Streetor the [[Odd Quad]], and it is not uncommon to see students carrying golf bags across campus down to the course. The club opened on September 5th, 1896 as a 7-hole course, including the present diabolical 17th green. The primitive course layout was upgraded in 1928 by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek to an 18-hole par 73 test. When the clubhouse was forced to move from South Street to its present location, the 2nd and 3rd holes were changed and the course became its current 6640 yard, par 71 design.
