Pure Golf, Links-Style in Dutchess County

The Links at Union Vale brings a little bit of Ireland to Dutchess County, NY

Located less than 90 minutes north of New York City in southern Dutchess County, this remarkable links-style course is reminiscent of the famous links courses of Ireland and Scotland. Designed by Stephen Kay with distinct and memorable features of water, potbunkers and natural hazards complemented by bent and fescue grasses, The Links at Union Vale opened to the public in 2000, and was rated the Best New Public Golf Course of the Year by Suburban Golf Magazine. The Links at Union Vale is the pinnacle of Dutchess County golf.

Our course was named Best of Daily Fee Properties for three years in a row (2008, 2009 and 2010) by Best of Northeast Golf Magazine based on: "exceptional course conditions, uniqueness of design, first-class amenities, and unmatched service that's truly a cut above the rest without commitment to annual fees, food or drink minimums, or guest restrictions..."

The Links was selected as America's Top Golf Course in Zagat's 2012 Best in Country Guide:  Our Course and Value rated Excellent and our Facilities and Service rated Very Good to Excellent.

Our championship Dutchess County golf course rides lightly on top of a rolling landscape, with sweeping views of the lush Hudson Valley countryside. Selected three times by the USGA to host the US Amateur sectional qualifier, this championship course is engaging and challenging, yet still enjoyable for all levels of golfers.
