Golf in Beacon

Beacon is a city in Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley, on the east bank of the Hudson River at the foot of Mount Beacon in the Hudson Highlands. The city sits at a Hudson River narrows where the highlands close in on both sides, with the Beacon mountain ridge rising steeply behind the city. The Hudson Valley narrows significantly at Beacon, creating a dramatic geographic feature along the river corridor. Southern Dutchess Country Club serves the Beacon community and the southern Dutchess County golf market in the elevated terrain east of the city. Beacon's Dutchess County location contributes to the regional golf landscape in this part of New York, with the area's course or courses providing options for the community.
