General Rules to Play

1. As you play your round, take time to view hole locations on greens you will be playing later on during your round. This might be the difference between shooting a good score and a great score.
2. In most situations, short of most hole locations is better than long.
3. Hole locations should dictate the strategy for recovery from a missed shot – a left tucked flag is best handled from the right side, etc.
4. Be patient – controlled aggressiveness (picking your spots) will pay off in the long run. Accept your fate on any particular hole and move on – when “out of position,” your goal is to rely on what you are capable of doing and not what you think you can pull off – you’ll need good course management skills to shoot consistent numbers here.
5. Remember the club’s motto: “Medio Tutissimus Ibis” (translation: you will go most safely in the middle).

Taconic Golf Club Hole 1

Black: 480
Gold: 470
Purple: 450

A pleasant start to your round at Taconic. Tee shot should be played toward the right center for best position, but care should be taken to remain short of the fairway bunker. Read More→

Taconic Golf Club Hole 2

Black: 406
Gold: 355
Purple: 339
White: 324

Tee shot should favor the left side to avoid the fairway bunker – shots from this bunker make hitting the green very difficult. Second shots to this large green play much longer because of the uphill nature of the shot. Read More→

Black: 412
Gold: 383
Purple: 373
White: 344

Taconic Golf Club Hole 4

Black: 358
Gold: 346
Purple: 318
White: 256

Position off the tee is crucial on this seemingly simple hole which has a creek running down it’s left side. Second shots from the fairway make hitting the green more realistic as the challenge to carry the creek fronting the green and an extreme false front of the green awaits the player. Read More→

Taconic Golf Club Hole 5

Black: 178
Gold: 157
Purple: 135
White: 126

Hole location is very important. Left flag — favor right side; right flag — favor left side to provide the best chance for a recovery if you miss the green. Read More→

Taconic Golf Club Hole 6

Black: 372
Gold: 356
Purple: 335

Taconic Golf Club Hole 7

Black: 402
Gold: 368
Purple: 350
White: 293

Use the center fairway bunker as your aiming point on this dogleg right hole. The second shot here might be the toughest approach shot on the course because on the uphill nature of the shot and the very narrow aspect of the green. Read More→

Taconic Golf Club Hole 8

Black: 394
Gold: 382
Purple: 360
White: 297

Player should stay to the left side of this fairway to allow for the best angle to the green. Second shots play shorter than the yardage because of the slight downhill aspect of the hole. Read More→

Black: 178
Gold: 167
Purple: 152
White: 143

Club selection on this downhill hole really depends on the wind. Look to the front of the clubhouse to the American flag — it should give you an accurate indication. Read More→
