The Ranch Golf Club

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.

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.

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.

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.

Friendly staff. Nice layout. Greens and fairways are in excellent condition. Very short par 3's

This is the best course in Western Mass!! I would recommend this to everyone.. A must play at for all golfers!!

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!

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.

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!

Been playing here since 2002 and will always make time to play a round here. The course never disappoints.

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.

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 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.

The course was in great condition , and will be back to play again this summer!!

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.

When I paid the Pro Shop did not take my deposit off of my bill.

When you live in New England and talk about the best courses in the area The Ranch comes up a lot in the conversation. I will say that the layout is one of the best that I've ever seen. It reminds me a lot of other New England courses that have several elevation changes. Courses like the Shattuck Inn in Jaffrey New Hampshire and Red Tail in Devens,MA come to mind. As for the condition of this course I was a little down as the bunkers were gravelly and not very sandy and the greens were pretty inconsistent. The fairways were some of the best fairways I've ever played on and the rough and fescue outside the rough made for a true test of my game. Though this course is tougher than some other ones in the state sometimes that's not what it's all about. The service was also a letdown. Playing as a twosome, we got to the turn and the threesome in front of us was nice enough to wait there and told us to play through we had ordered food from the golf cart on the eighth tee box, we told these gentlemen we were going to run in,grab our food and then run to the tenth tee. Sadly, no one in the restaurant looked and saw that we had ordered food and when we told the girl at the bar about our order she grabbed it off of the printer gave it to the cook and then we never saw her again. We were delayed almost 10 minutes waiting for our food, two hotdogs, and by the time we got to the 10th tee the threesome in front of us had already teed off. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in playing one of the best layouts in all of New England but past the golf I wouldn't expect much more.

The layout is excellent, challenging but fair. I did really enjoy the round. It helped that a 4-some let the 2 of us play through

Arrived early for a Sunday afternoon round. was a little disappointed to find out that practice balls now cost extra, but the tee was open and the woman let me out early on my own. The pace was fine, I had time to roll a few extra putts, and actually line some up. The course was wet in a few spots and the greens suffer from people who don't fix their ball marks. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and will definitely go back. The course is fair, if you keep it in the fairway. Some of the greens are big so the GPS in the cart is helpful as it gives you exact yardage to the pin. Some of the pins were awfully tight to the edges. No matter, the weather was great.

The Ranch is a great place to play golf. The course is always in great condition. Very friendly staff and beautiful facilities.
The views on this course are some of the best in the area. The course is very challenging from the back tees, but also has the need for precision shots from the forward tees. One down fall I had was the GPS. Either ours was not working correctly or the course yardage seems to be way off. A few par threes for instance the GPS was 25 yards different then the yard marker and the GPS phone app that we had. I will just make sure I have my laser with me next time. Over all a great course to play at a fare rate through golf now.com
