One of the better layouts in the state

This is the second time I have played this course in the last three or four years and in a good way nothing is changed in a bad way nothing is changed. The good part is the layout, with several elevation changes, fairly tight fairways and interesting routing makes for a fun round of golf. Condition wise, the course was in great shape on the tee boxes us to the fairways to the greens. The only real negative on the chorus is it they still haven’t made the bunkers any better. As with the first time I played this course there are several rocks and pebbles in every bunker which really takes away from it being one of the best courses in the state which it really should be. In the end, it’s worth the drive from Eastern Massachusetts to play this course

You will not be disappointed at the Ranch. The course was in the excellent shape. Greens were great. A few too many blind shots slows down pace of play, but still got through in a respectable 4.5 hours on a busy Friday afternoon.

nice course

Played Sunday after a week of rain. Course was wet, but otherwise in great shape. It was cart path only but it was needed. I loved the course , just wish I had played better. Super wide fairways, that if you miss , you deserve the punishment you get, the rough was unforgiving. If you stay on the fairway and play well , it is a course where you can score well. I plan to return.

Same as all other reviews

Course is awesome and layout is nice. Some water, some hills some trees. Overall excellent course would play again 100%. I shot a 93 from the blues and I’m a 13-14 Handicap. Course is enjoyable but wouldn’t say “difficult”. Come play.

The Ranch

As always The Ranch met expectations. It is my favorite course within 45 minutes and rarely disappoints. It is early in the season, but the course is in great shape and the greens were rolling very well. It felt like we had the course to ourselves (which we did) because there was an evening outing of some 100+ golfers coming. The upgrades to the bar were great improvement and should make getting s beer a little easier.

Best course in Western Massachusetts

This course is a treat to play. A very fair challenge and excellent greens. Two very fun downhill par 5's where a not so big hitter can hit a 300 yard drive if they catch the downslope. Some of the best greens I have ever played.

Very Nice Course. Some Stuff Needs Some Work.

1. Course is great when the course conditions are on, most of the year they are. The bunkers have way too many rocks. And please let folks know when you sand the greens. Maybe even offer a small break on the price - not even a mention of it in the clubhouse. That's no good service.

2. My mistake... I left my range finder in a cart. So yes, I'm left to someone else's good will to turn it in to the shop. If a golfer took it... pox on them. If the course's staff is putting in their pocket... This place has another issue with management.

3. The place is a great course. A little work and it's top notch. You can find some excellent deals online, and I've had some real fun playing, having a beer after the round, and met some real great folks. Go check it out.

Extremely Nice course and layout, 5h pace of play too long

We had a foursome at 12:52 Saturday and enjoyed the course, each hole very unique and nice. However the pace of play was unnecessarily slow. Groups should be encouraged to play more quickly as one or two foursomes can really impact the day for everyone by being so slow.

Fantastic course

Playing at The Ranch is always a first-class experience from the parking lot to the 19th hole. The staff is very friendly, and the golf course is in immaculate condition. My only complaint would be players who do not fix ball marks on the greens. I was surprised by the amount of damage at such a beautiful venue. Players caught leaving damage should be warned then banned.

Great day for fall golf

Was matched up with 3 other golfers, the weather was 70 degrees clear with a 10-15 mph breeze. The course was in perfect shape, fairways cut short and pristine, the rough had been cut but was still high. The greens lighting fast, shots would hold on the green but it was quick.

Precision shot making is a must on some holes or you will pay a price, good shots great scoring opportunities.

One of guys we played with was -1 on the front nine, the rest of us finished 38, 41, & 44. on the front nine. The back nine we hit a roadblock and play was slowed down quite a bit, and it took the edge off everyone's game, As scores went up,

If you play this course for the first time it would help to use GPS and a local who has played there before, The staff was great, Bonnie the beverage cart server is great. A must play if you like private country club conditions at a good price.

Staff/Course

Having worked in the golf industry for years I was taught that your round does not begin on the first tee but in the pro shop. Using GolfNow we felt like we were treated as second class. Played again the following week with the head pro behind the counter. I can see where the young staff gets their attitude. The course is a wonderful layout, excellent condition with a lot of character.

Birthday golf

1st time playing this course and it lived up to all that I have heard about it. It is a long drive for me and a bit pricey. The course is spectacular! Greens were fast as heck. The morning dew blower guy on holes 1-3 was a huge PITA and most likely a non-golfer based on his zeal for blowing and not for heeding to paying guests. All other staff on holes were excellent and friendly as all get out. Bring your camera!
