The Ranch Golf Club

One of my favorite courses in the state, especially in Western MA. Not many courses can compare to the overall experience The Ranch has to offer. I've played here a handful of times over the past couples years and it continues to impress. Sets the standard for public courses in the area.

Now that I've found GolfNow I can hopefully play more often on the discount rates. A little expensive during peak season but is still worth every last $$

This is probably the nicest course in all of Western Massachusetts. Normally it costs between $65 to $75 to play this awesome course. With the fire deal on Golf Now my friend and I played for $28 each. Fantastic price, fantastic course, on a fantastic day. Thank You Golf Now!

Love playing this course and it definitely one of the nicest around this area, but it's early in the year and the greens were just aerated and were literally almost unplayable..... The ball was hopping around everywhere. They should definitely find a way to let you know the current conditions at the course before you book on golf now. Anyway still have the course a great rating because I've played it many times and it's usually pristine. Customer service there is also second to none and the staff is super friendly.

Great experience at the Ranch today! Fairways were excellent. Spring greens were fine! Wonderful day with friends! Get out and play at the Ranch!

Nice and fun course but not really worth the $100 they charge for weekend play

i play this course at least once a year, sometimes twice. i'm from randolph so this is a long trip. the fee includes driving range, car (needed!) and use of locker/showers afterward (they supply the towels). as for the course, what more can i say than IT IS FUN. with hole names like ETERNITY, FISHBOWL (or similiar) i have a great time even if i'm playing lousy. the staff is always friendly and eagar to help. and did i mention that they have beer in the beverage car.

The course was in great shape as usual. I have only played The Ranch 3 times and apsolutely love the course. Customer service is top notch. We played a threesome for free that was awarded to me for booking 40 rounds. Unfortunately, The Ranch is very expensive, so this round was a special treat.

This course is amazing! I heard that they lost 3 greens this season but at this point they are all back. You can clearly tell which three they lost as they are discolored but the ball rolls perfectly on them so it's not a problem at all. I absolutely love this course and the layout. Highly recommended!

Played with my son and consider this course to be one of New Englands best . We were very happy with the conditions and the staff is super friendly . If you are looking for a " field of dreams " experience . This is the place . The Ranch is a top notch facility .

The Ranch is great course. always in excellent condition.

GREAT COURSE--PERFECT CONDITIONS-GREAT VIEWS--UPS AND DOWNS--GPS CARTS

Generous, plush fairways and really nice greens. It's pretty hard to find a ball that is beyond the rough...I finished with only one ball left in my bag! I'll definitely make the drive to play The Ranch again.

How do you say NO to $40 to play a great trac. It's a bit of a drive from south of Boston but I picked a perfect day. 75 and sunny with little wind. I played as a single and flew throught the first 4 holes. I was even par which is rare for me. Each hole had its danger to throw up a large score. I followed the directions on the GPS and Suprisingly hit the correct shot. Some of the holes on the front 9 have either blind shots or you are hitting over waste land. It would be nice to play it twice and I think I could lower my score of 85.
The tee boxes, fairway and greens were in good shape. I had called a couple times this summer and they have warned me about three temp greens. No sense driving 2 hours for that. When I called on Saturday they were all open. After the 5 hole things slowed down dramatically . I jumped in with 3 guys and they were lots of fun. At the turn there were 3 groups on 10. We waited 20+ minutes and the waiting didn't stop. A ranger would have been nice. I never saw one but I did see guys hitting three balls off the tee. These guys didn't belong on a course at all. A range maybe if I was wearing a hard hat.
A couple holes really stand out because of elevation changes. They drop hundreds of feet and if you have a decent drive can make you feel like John Daly with the extended roll...... I think some of the holes need a bell after you finish your second shot. A group behind us either didn't know how to read the monitor or just didn't care because blind tee shots down hill were landing over our heads. I am sure a couple confrontations have taken place on hole 9 and 16.
I also found cart yardage off on the par 3's 4 and 17. In both case by 20+ years. On 17 that puts you in the pond.
Overall I liked the course and would love to play it again in the future. I will admit it cost more in gas than it cost to play 18 even when they charge an extra $5.00 for golf balls. Not sure if I would pay the normal price of $110 plus balls and almost $50 in gas.

Always a very good day at the ranch. Most fairways in very good shape with a few bare spots. Some greens (4 / 18) require immediate attention due to significant browning. Tee boxes in great shape with the course playing slightly less than spring time.

Had 3 temporary greens so they cut the price a bit. Otherwise excellent condition greens medium fast and nice layout.

Disappointed to see course had three temporary greens in August.
This should have been known before booking tee time.
It didn't help that they would be reopening them in a couple of days.
Probably because of the course conditions there was very little play so little that the beverage cart operator returned it to the shed and grabbed clubs and joined the group in front of us to slow play up.

You should have some kind of warning system for courses that are not up to their normal standards.

Actually I was disappointed. Took my son who had played there previously and raved about course. However, course was not in very good shape. Multiple greens were very bad with replacement grass being rolled down. My son noted that course was no where close to previous conditions.

Super tough but fair except for several blind tee shots without sufficient guidance. Temp greens were kept well-unfortunate to have them. Course being maintained well as fairways and other greens were nice. Starter was A+ but pro shop help was aloof and distant-find another job. Would definitely play again hoping course was healed. In perfect shape, course was worth 90 a round inclusive of cart and range

This is the worst condition at the ranch I have seen in the three times I have played there. I know they punched the greens a couple week ago and some are back and some aren't. No sign on golf now for aerating and every green had different speeds. There were three temp greens and we got a hot deal so it was 55 dollars. Unable to get are money back girl was not to friendly at desk. Hole one had was being aerated and had little dirt poo all over it. Had to move dirt take approach shot. No wondering they are charging 65 dollars all week. Should be more like 25. Good way to rip people off. At least your fairways were still nice. Thanks for the hose job.

Currently a $45-50 golf course, if it was kept well it could be a $75 course, don't reccomend it at all this year w temp greens and rocky sand traps
