The Links at Union Vale
Play some of the best links-style golf in North America with today’s feature: $39 for 18 Holes with Cart at The Links at Union Vale in LaGrangeville near Poughkeepsie ($96 Value. Expires May 15, 2019!)
If you’re ready to play golf the way it was meant to be played, today’s feature course, The Links at Union Vale, is the perfect destination for you. Throw in exceptional conditions and a beautiful layout that’s been named among the Top 15 New York Courses to Play, and you’ve got a day of golf you’ll never forget.
Like many links-style courses, Union Vale is designed to reward players who know how to strike the ball and manage their game around the course. The front nine, the shorter of the two nines, is also the most challenging, with plenty of foliage, mature trees, and the majority of the course's water coming into play. Make it through the front in swift order, and you'll be ready to take on the back's first four holes – the best scoring opportunities on the course.
But don't be fooled by the first four and think the back nine is a walk in the park – it's anything but. Length quickly becomes the biggest factor between you and a low score, with two of the last five holes playing over 600 yards. 18 is one of the best finishing holes in the Empire State thanks to its picturesque layout, forced carry, and several white sanded bunkers throughout. You'll need every club in your bag working in harmony to finish with a low score when you walk off of 18, so be sure to bring your "A" game during your visit.
When your round of golf ends at The Links at Union Vale, your day of fun might just be beginning. Almost as famous and well-renown as the course itself is the clubhouse restaurant: The Harp and Eagle Pub. Offering a full menu of local craft beers, wines, and fabulous hand-packed burgers, The Harp and Eagle is a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Also in the clubhouse is the full-service golf shop that carries everything you need to upgrade your equipment and apparel, allowing you to look and play your best every time you hit the course.
Great links-style courses aren't easy to find in the United States, so why pass up this opportunity to play one of the best? Don't wait - reserve your round now!
