Golfers standing on the Ranch’s first tee might feel, for a second, that they’re on a links course. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

The seventh green. This hole is typical of the par-4’s here: fairly long and definitely challenging. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

The ninth, par-5, 540. “Glacier,” as this hole is dubbed, plays straight downhill. And a bad drive may lead to a “meltdown.” Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

Sixteen, par-5, 618. Another dramatic downhiller named “Ski Hill,” which certainly suggests the thrill of playing it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

Sixteen: a closer view of the final approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

The 18th: par-4, 438. A fitting closer, but also a hole that captures the beauty of New England golf at its finest. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/19/2021

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.
The Ranch
Terrific shape. Good friends, good round in the heat. We’ll go back when it cools off some.
Great views
Little pricey. Range ball should be included. Great staff. Quick service in the restaurant. Both Bonnie’s rock it for service.
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.
Very nice
The course is very nice and the greens are fast. Fairways are generous. Many tee boxes for all different golfers.

5 stars is not enough for this quality course.
If you haven't played it, you are missing out.
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.
The Best Course in Western Ma.
The course is wonderful, with a memberful layout and a great staff.
Octoberfest
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!
Must Play
Staff is above and beyond friendly. Need to play it again to get the feel for the course. Played the tips and it was a great experience. Greens were amazing for middle October. Course overall was PGA Tour quality. The views from the tee boxes are also stunning.
Only thing I would change is seeing the ball land from the tee on the range but that’s a small detail.
Go play ASAP.
