The Ranch Golf Club

Great Course, greens were tough and the layout is fun. Wish I lived closer. Hard to find a better deal.

Great course. A little dry do to lack of rain. Greens were perfect.

Course was in immaculate condition. Really good test of your game. Very picturesque course. Would highly recommend and will play again.

The Ranch, Southwick MA (7.9/10)

Conditions (8)

Course was in great shape. Fairways and tee boxes smooth and short. Well manicured course with thick rough and clean bunkers. Greens are receptive and quick, but fair. Great.

Layout (7.5)

Very easy to navigate course. Good signage. Lots of elevation would be difficult to walk. Part of the course is very open and links, other half is wooded and isolated. Best of both.

Design (8.5)

Great holes with fun elevation changes. Some blind tee shots but the electronic gps on the car helps a lot. Holes are fair but varied and well designed. Golf shots have to be thoughtful. You will hit every club here.

Amenities (6.5)

Electric carts, grass range, okay putting area. Could not access clubhouse due to Covid-19. Good public facilities but nothing to write home about.

Feel (9)

I really love the feel here. A varied, well conditioned course that feels like private golf after the 3rd hole. It’s easy to play well but difficult to go low unless you play the course consistently. Love it here.

Overall (7.9)

This place is a hidden gem. One of the more challenging courses I have played with plenty of elevation changes, dog legs and water features. The maintenance is top-notch as well, with the fairways cut as close as some greens I have played. This course is worth travelling for!

Greens were below average for this type of course but ok for November in Massachusetts.carts were not properly charged had to switch carts 3 times during round.

This was my first time to this area. I was recommended to this course by some New Yorkers, as I asked for a tough but fair course. I came away very pleased with the course and it's condition.

Our round took over 5 hours to complete, constantly waiting on every shot. Ranger came by a couple times, saw the slow groups, and just stated it was slow out there.

On top of that, our cart battery died on the 17th hole, I guess it also couldn't handle the slow day.

On the bright side, the course was in great shape, absolutely beautiful all around, with a great layout.

Great golf course. Championship layout that did not disappoint. From the bag drop to the last sip of beer after the round everything here was top notch. Tough course as I played the back tees and my wife played the white/gold combos. They had aerated 1 week prior but it absolutely did not impact the playability. Greens were fast and true. Cart girl was around several times and lunch was delicious afterwards.

This course is a very well laid out design. There are vey few forced caries and many areas for lay-ups if needed. The greens are not large so it is possible to two putt from most areas of the green (if you're having a good putting day). Quite often you will find yourself with uneven stances when hitting from the fairway. I've played this course 3 times now and the conditions have been great every time. Even this most recent time, when the greens were aerated, the ball still rolled fairly smooth. I really enjoy this course and highly recommend.

Terrific shape. Good friends, good round in the heat. We’ll go back when it cools off some.
