Berkshire Valley Golf Course

There was a storm the day before, but the overall condition was good.

But the 4th hole, fairway landing zone was submerged

Most of the greenside bunkers were damaged

Pace of play on a Tuesday afternoon was 5 1/2 hours , nobody on the staff seemed care at all. I think that’s because it’s a county course and nobody is motivated to make your experience meaningful. The ground crew needs to repair the divots on the fairway it’s getting out of control. The course has such potential but is run poorly.

One of the Best courses in the State ! Worth every

Penny. Bring your A game . Course in perfect condition. A must play.

Course was in great shape as usual. Starter was great, very good pace of play as well. Horrible experience with one of the groundskeepers. Hit a drive on the 15th hole. Crew was out working. So I pulled to the left of the fairway as they were working on the right side, figuring I would hit my 2nd shot & move out their way. But this guy circled back & blew grass clippings in my directions. Covered side of the cart & parts of me. Needless to say words were exchanged & his response was most people know to move out the way. Was wondering if I was of a different hue or age even if he would of been so dismissive of my complaint. He could of easily communicated to me that he would be blowing the clippings in my direction & I would of moved. Or he could of just waiting for me to hit, as there was a 2 hole distance between me & the next group.

The course is beautiful and one of the best maintained. The greens were meticulous. However, the pin placements were near impossible. I am a 12 handicap, I three putt 6 times, 3 of those times were from under 5 foot where the ball rolled 10 foot past the hole. It was a running joke in our group. One hole the ball rolled upto the hole stopped and rolled back. That should never happen. This will prevent me from coming back.

First three holes offer a stunning vista across the valley. Immaculate greens and carpet like fairways abound.

Don’t want to do this but I feel I owe it to the course. First time on the course on the day after an inch of rain and the greens were perfect. Nothing flat, ups and downs, and challenging. 16 par 3 is ridiculous, have to hit 6 with draw over the water at the pin to get it on the green, when you’re hitting fatigue. Some other challenging holes. Layout takes full advantage of the topography and the natural beauty. Enjoy!
