Beekman Country Club - Taconic/Highland
About
Tucked away in the foothills of the Berkshires, Beekman Country Club sits right where the mountains rise from the Hudson Valley, which provides spectacular views throughout the 27-hole golf course. Divided into three nines, the holes offer three different 18-hole courses with unique but equally scenic vistas. The Taconic/Highland combination starts with the most challenging nine of the three and ends with the most picturesque. The Taconic nine features narrow fairways and tricky water hazards. The back nine hardly gets any easier. The Highland climbs up over 500 feet, giving golfers a panoramic view from the valley to Stormville Mountain. The par-3 fourth hole on the Highland nine is the club's signature. Noted for its beauty, the hole is especially stunning in the springtime when the dogwood trees that line its fairways are in full bloom.

The course blended well with the natural Hudson Valley topography. The elevation changes, risk -reward challenges and nifty pin placements!
After a rather miserable spring weather condition, this day of golfing pleasure was a heaven send. The fairways and greens were immaculate. The sand was manicured by staff throughout the day. The carts are new. The lunch was excellent. Just the way the golf gods meant it to be!
Very nice views - lots of Up & Downs
Played on April 28, 2013 and the course was in very good shape. Greens were faster than they looked. Bunkers must have just been replenished with sand because it was near impossible to get out -- like hitting at the shore! (and I am a very good sand player)
Even though it was a Sunday afternoon and looked very crowded the pace of play was perfect.
Stay away from the Valley 9 (they have 3 nines).
Good course.
The course was wonderful. However there was a snag with the fees. My online booking clearly stated that a cart was included for the stated fee. However the attendant insisted that the booked fee was the walking rate. There was another gentleman there with the same problem at the same time. The manager was called. He allowed us to have a cart for the booked fee. Except for this snafu, we had an excellent afternoon on a good course.
Greens in great shape
Made a lot of changes since last time I played there - the greens were in great shape.
Excellent greens.
Golf course is well maintained. Restaurant leaves much to be desired
Good Course needs better markings
Course's in good condition, Problem did encounter was not knowing distance to doglegs and then which club to use, found hitting through bend especially on Valley course. Need better markings or GPS system on carts.
Overall enjoyed course, would play again
QUALITY
Beekman is a 27 hole facility that does every aspect of golf well. It does lack some of the quality of the 5 star courses but it is solid in every way. Great deals and always ask about the $3 lunch special. Greens roll true but are a bit slow. Many holes tend to be on the shorter side but their are plenty of challenges like the 6th hole on the Taconic Course which is a par 5 that requires a good drive, a layup and then a 140 yard forced carry over a pond just to set up a two putt par. The 3rd hole on the Highlands course has one of the most spectacular views of the entire Hudson Valley once you get to the green. Play here in the fall for great views of the folliage. They have changed the layout on the valley course and the new par 3 doesn't seem to fit in. Mabe it just needs to mature. Westchester residents should skip their 5 1/2 rounds on their public courses and get in the car and come here everytime!
Fun Course
Fun course with the 27 hole layout. Played when the greens were plugged but didn't make much of a difference. Fairways are in good shape too. Would definitely recommend.
Fun course. worth the money.
First time play. Tees and greens recently aerated so not so great. I'll definitely play there again.
Nice course. Relaxed round
Course was in good condition staff was friendly. Course well maintained.
the course was in decent shape. round took 5 hrs
course was fun, however the 7 th hole on the Valley nine . The green was terrible.
Great views good condition. Greens were plugged
Great views good condition. Greens were plugged. Had not played here in a long time but would definitely play again
Favorite course in the tri-state region
Course has been in great condition this year, even with some challenging weather conditions. Having a 27 hole layout keeps it from getting boring, although my favorite 9s are the Highland and Taconic. Staff is super friendly and very helpful. I played mostly on Wedsnesdays afternoons and it was very easy to get on and rounds were routinely under 4 hours with a cart. Great value especially using GolfNow.
