Hudson Valley Resort and Spa
Of the resort's 275 rooms, a good number face directly over the golf course, so you can study others play their best before you venture to the green. Tuesday is Ladies Day, and Mondays is Seniors Day on the course; if you fit into these categories, you'll get a discount. The regulation 18-hole course winds through lush greens, clear creeks and challenging hills and extends over 6,350 yards.
