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

Great escape in Western Mass
Wide fairways and large greens make this course very accommodating for Golfers of all abilities. Some of the nicest greens around public or private.
Overrated
My group and I made an infrequent visit to The Ranch yesterday, and sad to say, we were very disappointed. Of course, the track itself is still excellent (especially #9 and #16) , but conditions have become quite ordinary. My group is not an "elite" group, we play everywhere, public, private, muni's, etc. But when we checked in, and were told, "$95 for the round, and $5 if you want the range," gotta say we annoyed. Really? $5 for the range? I'd rather pay $100, and then kindly reminded about the range. The pro never looked up at us the entire time. Range was beat up, the marked hitting areas were very used up and worn. Fairways were just ordinary. Greens ordinary. Nothing like the "perfect" conditions that we have seen in the past and were expecting again. The best part was the 19th hole; still a terrific ambiance, views, and food/drink. I can no longer recommend the Ranch at $95. The overall experience just did not measure up.
Saturday Play
Beautfiful course. A must play. Only drawback is members like to play with push carts and walk the 18. Tough course to walk which slows pace of play.
Greens were terrific
the course has great features to it and all golfers should experience the playing here
I had a wonderful round at the Ranch i can honestly say that i was upset leaving that course . I found that it had its share of challenging holes and you have to stop and really think before swinging the clubs.When you play there believe me you will
return clearly the best kept and conditioned course
i have played on. And the scenery was very impressive.
Great greens
Called course and they said the greens were in great condition. They weren't. The greens are still recovering from being aerated 2 weeks ago.
OK
The pace of play was extremely slow had to wait on every tee box for the foursome in front ( we were a twosome ). The greens are in a little rough shape. The fairways and rough are excellent and the bunkers were filled with quater sized rocks.
Worth the Trip
I drove from Norwalk, CT to play The Ranch because it's a good meet up point for me and my father I (he lives in Haverhill, MA). I was very impressed with the layout and overall condition of the course. The greens aren't pristine but that's what happens when people don't fix their ball marks. I put The Ranch in the same category as Red Tail in Devens, MA. I'll definitely go back.
excellent condition
Friendly staff. Nice layout. Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Very short par 3's
Golf is in great shape!
This is the best course in Western Mass!! I would recommend this to everyone.. A must play at for all golfers!!
Great course
We had a great day on this beautiful course, the fairways were immaculate and greens were rolling pretty good. The woman in the snack cart came around with some cranberry granola bars that were awesome. The staff was helpful and polite ...we are definitely going back!
Beautiful Layout
A great test of golf in a wonderful setting. Tees and fairways were immaculate. A few greens needed attention, but no major complaints. Challenging from the white tees, but still manageable in length. An hour's drive for me, but definitely worth it.
Hard to beat even at full price
Course is one of the most interesting in Hartford/Springfield area. A few holes you need to learn but once you do, you want to come back. Fairways and greens in near perfect shape. We've played twice in two weeks at the $60 golf now deal and I'd pay more. Easily best drink cart around!
best course in western mass
Been playing here since 2002 and will always make time to play a round here. The course never disappoints.
2nd time, another great round
3rd time playing The Ranch, first time playing mid season. Conditions were great, few greens looked a little beat up, but were still rolling nice. Pace of play was good, finished under 4 hours.
Overall another great round at The Ranch, for $65 can't beat it.
What a joke.
I was so excited to play the Ranch with my Dad on fathers day! I have always wanted to play this course. Turned out to be the worst round of golf I have ever played. The golf course was is awful condition. The rate of play was painfully slow, we waited on every tee. The guys behind us were members and hit into us more times than I could count. I never saw a ranger or anyone checking on play. Plus it is very expensive. I will never go back. The only good part was it was a beautiful day and I got to hang out with my family.
The Ranch: Always a great experience
The course was in great shape with some of the greatest vistas in Western Massachusetts. The greens were rolling true but a bit slower than last year. The pro shop staff were a delight to deal with and the restaurant is now an excellent dining experience, whether after golf or for simply enjoying a quality meal.
Awesome Views
The course was in great condition , and will be back to play again this summer!!
Really nice. Great shape.
Really impressed with The Ranch. All around great shape after a tough winter. A course you'll play better after the first time around. Some BIG down hill blind shots. A lot of fun. Greens were nice, if not a little slow, but rolled very nicely. We'll be back again. Wish it was closer, but well worth the money and drive.
It was great except for
When I paid the Pro Shop did not take my deposit off of my bill.
