In 1896, William Howard Doughty, James M. Ide, and Edward C. Gale received permission from Williams College to install three tomato cans on land adjoining what is now the 18th fairway of Taconic.[5] In the same year, the course was expanded to seven holes; one of those holes, the present 17th, is the oldest at Taconic.[5] In 1897, a longer nine-hole course was laid out.[5]
In 1927, Wayne Stiles of Stiles & Van Kleek, a Boston firm, was commissioned to design and construct an 18 hole course.[6] Construction began in August 1927 and a par 73 layout was completed by Labor Day in 1928.[7] The course was revised in 1955 to a 6,640 yard (gold tees) par 71 layout.[7] In 2009, Gil Hanse completed a renovation of the course.[8]
