Where you'll stay

The Beekman Arms & Delamater Inn

America's oldest inn, in Rhinebeck village. Walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Mountain and river views from nearly every hole. Walk it — the caddies here are excellent.

Book tee time

The crown jewel — book public tee times 2 weeks in advance, 7am online. Longer and harder than expected.

One Insider Tip

"Bethpage Black is notoriously hard to book — set a 6:59am alarm two Saturdays before your tee date and hit the NYS golf site the second it refreshes at 7am. The Black fills in minutes."
