The Ranch Golf Club

The course was in fantastic condition. A real exciting course to play. The staff is great

great conditions, great views. mixture of wide fairways and tight driving holes. lots of elevation changes

With exception to the bar, the facility is awesome. Challenging course from the blacks.

Course was in excellent shape and a great play for $66

We unfortunately played on Friday July 3rd. When I entered the pro shop they said it was there busiest day of the year. They can monitor the pace of play from the pro shop as all of their carts are GPS equipped. I was very disappointed that it took almost 5 hours and 15 minutes to play our round. Otherwise a good day for golf and I do enjoy this challenging course.

The golf pro shop people were ok as far as friendliness.
The range was nice
the fairways and greens were pristine.
the cart girl was very pleasant.

Great course with a lot of elevation change. Challenging lay out in which you must use every club in your bag

The course was in great condition. Not crowded so pace moved right along.
White tees are fair. Much tougher test from the blues.

If The Ranch Golf Club is not on your golfing bucket list, it certainly should be. In my opinion, it is one of the best public golf courses in New England. It has that a private course look and feel. I found it a well kept and conditioned course. It's location, on a hillside, has many beautiful views that, in the fall, must be striking.

Although the greens fees are on the high side ($75 weekdays, $89 weekends, plus $20 for a cart) the visual and golfing experience is well worth every cent. The greens fees include use of the driving range with unlimited balls, but bring your own tees as you will be hitting off turf not mats. There are large, expensive houses being built near the course, but these don't enter into play. Actually, some are awesome just to look at. The course has allowed this building to offset increasing maintenance costs for the course. It should keep the fees low for some time.

Our electric carts, which I recommend as the course is very hilly, were equipped with a multi-function GPS that I found hard to read in bright sunlight.but was otherwise very useful. The cart also had a built-in ball and club washer.

The course length ranges from 7174 from the tips to 6103 (white) to 4983 (forward). I found the fairways very wide and groomed better than some greens I've played on. Many holes had forced carries over water or marsh, also blind tee/fairway shots and various doglegs. I still found the layout very fair.

Upon reaching the greens I was surprised to see the first cut putt-able and very wide on most greens. This is rare for public courses. You may hit a lot of greens in regulation here because they are huge, and not tricked up with tough pin placements.

The Bistro (19th hole) is roomy and comfortable, the wait staff plentiful and friendly, and the food very good. Overall, I felt like I was home in my own ranch.

Put THIS course on YOUR Bucket List.

Got a good deal on Golfnow. Would not pay full green fee for this course. Great track. They need to spend some money watering and maintaining the greens. This is a $60-70 course. Definitely not $125.

The Ranch experience had a private club feel open to the public. My wife and I enjoyed the design the facilities and the service. The forward tees and large greens were receptive enough for both of us to enjoy. I would recommend this track for high handicap expirienced to advanced players.

This was one of the more enjoyable rounds of golf I've played in recent time. I was paired with three other players and had a lot of fun and laughs as well as a competitive match to boot. The price savings really helped and having a nice range to warm up was a decided plus. Hope my next golf round is half as much fun as this one was.

as allways , the Ranch is beautifull. Great holes ,great condition.

excellent course that is a challenge.you will use all your clubs.great greens

As beautiful as this course is the only thing better than the course is the staff. It was my first time playing here and they made me feel like a 30 year member. Food was outstanding only know him as chef but his steak sandwich was absolutely amazing and can't wait to get back there for the golf and the food.

This is an amazing course nestled in the hillsides of Southwick.The course has some of the most challenging fairways and greens in New England. The staff is awesome. An absolute must play.

Beautiful golf course, pace of play, and condition of course were great! The price was reasonable too. I will be back!

Wide fairways and large greens make this course very accommodating for Golfers of all abilities. Some of the nicest greens around public or private.

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.

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
