The Ranch

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.

Hilly Course with Great Views on the Back 9

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.

Mint!

All around great experience at the Ranch. Staff loads your bag and could not be any friendlier! Tee boxes, generous fairways, and very fast greens all in immaculate condition. Well worth the 90 minute ride. Certainly a top 5 public course in MA. A few blind shots so it helps to play with a member. Well done Ranch, well done indeed.

One of the best public courses in New England

Awesome track cut out of a mountain side. Course was in the best shape I’ve seen out of the 10 or so times I’ve played here in the last 4-5 yrs. The course demands accuracy and shot planning. On the pricey side, but worth it.

A Must Play Course

Always a treat to play at The Ranch. We travel 90 minutes to enjoy the sheer beauty of this course and its setting. Everything is first class at The Ranch. The course is always in spectacular condition. The staff is superb and assembled to make the experience enjoyable for players of all skill levels. Best “cart woman” in the world. Cannot wait to get back there.

Nice challenge

The Ranch is an interesting course. Many of the holes place a premium on placement. The greens are fast, requiring accurate approach shots, and thoughtful chips. You will also find that quite a few holes have blind shots from the tee, so having someone in the group who has played the course can be extremely beneficial.

Very windy day, made it feel 10 degrees cooler than it was. Fortunately the pace of play was fine and kept the blood flowing. Foliage was beautiful and the greens were fast but consistent.

Wind Gusts To 25 M.P.H. !

As usual the course was in great shape! A lot of roll on the fairways and fast but true greens. The wind made it a tough day. Everyone at the course was great. Ate our supper there and the food was excellent. We will be back next year!
