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

Nice Tuesday
In great condition pace was awesome
Plush...
Only negative would be the sand traps. A lot of tiny stones that can cause damage to your irons.
Good course to play
The course condition is excellent even we had heavy rain in the morning.
Best Course in Western Mass.
It's always a treat to play this premium course, especially when the rates are discounted in the Spring and Fall. The uphill holes are particularly challenging and the downhill par 5s (#9 and 16) are a blast. My favorite hole is #17, however, a water carry par 3 with elevated tee boxes and sometimes tricky winds. Greens are mostly very large and roll true. And nature lovers will enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is worth an overnight trip to the greater Springfield/Hartford region.
Course
Played here before and always enjoyed it-- excellent condition for the time of year
beautiful views especially number 9 and 16
We always make at least 3 trips to The Ranch each year. Staff always polite and helpful. We come from about 90 miles away and is well worth the trip. One of my favorite courses. If I lived closer I would certainly be a member.
The Ranch a great place to play
Fine experience, great quality course! The course was in excellent condition, fast smooth greens, lush fairways. Nice staff!
Tom & Nick CT area
Great course , great condition , pace of play was great also.
Course has beautiful scenery, especially in the fall and very nice surrounding with many amazing houses.
The course is challenging but very playable for the average golfer
I guess you can tell I liked it.
Beautiful fall views
Got a great deal with Golf Now. The course is high quality with generally good conditions. It has a couple of holes that are "tricked up" in my opinion. The greens were not in the best shape. Many ball marks and very bumpy, even though every few holes the carts GPS says to fix ball marks.
A fun course to play.
The Ranch BEST AROUND
The Ranch by far is One of the best courses in the NorthEast. The fairways are in immaculate condition along with the greens. I highly recommend anyone to play this course. It is truly a pga course at an affordable price.
Worth the drive
Great course and a must play if anywhere near the course. Drove 1hr. 20 minutes and will do it again since the course is great. Nice people, great fairways and beautiful setting. I would suggest staying to eat lunch or dinner after the round since the food was also good and sat outside on the patio as the sun was setting at end of day.
One of the best in MA
I forgot how much I love this course. It starts with the drive down Sunnyside Rd when you catch a glimpse of the yellow gambrel clubhouse and several nearby holes. Conditions were tremendous even after a summer full of 90+ degree days. This is a thinking man's course, but there are also plenty of places to just smash driver off the tee. The GPS carts are incredibly helpful and other elite public courses should take notes from The Ranch. There are a few throwaway holes, but there are also many memorable holes, especially #1, 4, 6, 9, 13, 14, 16, and 17. I typically make the 2 hr drive on a yearly basis, but I'll be trying to come back more often in the future. And for $39 with cart, the price was unbelievable.
Of all the public courses in MA, I'd put The Ranch, Crumpin-Fox, and Red Tail at the top of the list.
Beautiful course!
This was my first visit to The Ranch Golf Course and I had heard a lot of good comments about it. It is really beautiful and peaceful! You will enjoy golfing there with your friends. The facilities are nice... my first experience of a nice and clean real restroom in a golf course! LOL! I definitely will visit this golf course again.
Little over rated
I thought the course for all the hype i heard about would have been nicer. Too many homes on the course take away some of the great vistas that the course has to offer. not a walker friendly course at all.Even with a cart you had a 40-70 yard walk to the green.
Excellent conditions
Course is immaculate! Need a ranger on course to move along non courteous players. Waited on every shot for at least seven or eight holes for the foursome in front of my twosome. Nobody in front of them!!
So sllooowwwwwww
Played 14 holes in 4.5 hrs. Awful. No Rangers??
We were a twosome and a threesome teeing off just before 1pm on Sunday. Told to expect a 4 1/2 hour round. Sadly it was going to be at least an hour longer than that.
Definitely something to consider when planning to play this course
Slow
We spent 4.5 hours golfing waiting on every slow player, totally unexceptable after about the 14th hole we had to shut it down because we had to get ready to head back to Florida. I will be back but I hope the pace is a lot better. Thank You
Amazing course
I have played this course three times so far it's a bit of a drive for me but it's worth every minuet I would recommend this course to anyone and in my opinion it's a must play
Excellent Course/ Afternoon Discount
Modern electric carts with GPS. Friendly staff. 5 teeing areas, great for all levels of play. Nice practice range. True rolling greens, very fast. Played just before a tournament. Hilly, challenge to walk.
Challengin course in a beautiful setting
This was a great last minute hot deal! As a first time player at this course, I was very pleased with the layout and conditions. It was helpful to be paired up with a golfer that had some local knowledge of the course. The only issue that I found was that other golfers were not repairing their ball marks on the greens and, someone was scuffing their feet on the greens as well.
