Player at Lyman Orchards Golf Club

The day we played we lost one ball within 10 feet of the 2nd green and hunted two minutes for a ball one foot from the 5th green because the rough was so high. It wouldn't be so bad if you could see the landing areas, but lots of shots are blind. Wonderful looking course, but no fun hunting for shots that are just slightly errant, or driving up to what you thought was a good shot only to find a hidden cliff. Typical tight, over-tricked New England course.

The prices have gone up but the conditions of the course have gone down. The greens were aerated a few weeks prior but we're still in bad shape. Bumpy due to sand and some patchy spots. There are better courses around especially for the price.

The Player Course offered a great challenge. Not too long, but very penalizing in the rough. A Great Challenge.

Rough was brutal, five inches thick just off fairways.

Greens unusually slow.

Tough track for 10+ caps.

Pace was excellent. Pro Shop staff was accommodating. Greens were recently punched, need another week or so.

Loved this course. Great challenge for a beginner/intermediate player. My buddy and I didn't have players in front or back of us, so we had a great leisurely day. Highly recommend!

It was a great deal and a great day. Course was still in winter form. Traps had ice and were not raked. I would do it again

Traveled an hour south to get in a round of golf when most local course still were closed. Tough winter and long delay in Western Mass for golf course being open for the season.

Got a hot deal from Golf Now and played the course with cart for $31 including fees. Course was mostly dry, greens had yet to be mowed or rolled. Overall conditions were good for time of year.

Layout was nice. Finished with back to back par fives which was different. Five par three's also. Round was slow to average in time. It was cart paths only so that affected timing I'm sure. Look forward to testing the course later in the season.

Staff were very nice. Talked with clubhouse staff, cart attendants and greens keepers who were moving the holes. All were friendly and helpful where needed.

Felt on top of the world. Even though the course was wet and could not leave the cart paths, our foursome really enjoyed it and can't wait to go back.

Course was in good shape for all the rain we had, don't like cart path only but nothing you could do about it. weather was a little cold when we started so the ground had a lot of dew on it.

Most experiences begin with the check-in and welcome and this was no exception and a great start to a beautiful day. Warned from the start that fairways and greens would be a little bumpy due to being aerated a week or so earlier, prepared you for greens and fairways that weren't in their usual great condition, which started your thought process early. My favorite hole is the par 3, 203 yard down hill 11th hole. This hole appears to be the highest point of the course with rolling hills, a view to die for and an apple orchard, which was in full bloom, that winds around through the 13th hole. What else could you ask for! Oh yeah, did I mention the swirling winds? It doesn't get much better than this unless your lucky enough to land your tee shot on the green, which this day I did. There are many more holes to experience on this course, but the one thing I'll leave you with is that no matter what hole your on, the fairway is your best friend. Stray away and it will be a long day. Love the course.

Was a beautiful day and staff was very helpful from Check in to the 19th hole !!

Got a great deal for their anniversary special. The course was in great condition, although the greens were
a bit slow. Fun to play and challenging some holes very long specially from Blue tees. The views on some holes
were fantastic. the staff was very friendly.
Put this one on your bucket list

A few more blind shots than I would have likes BUT...now that I know where to place ball I would definitely play there sgain

Course is not particularly long but does penalize you for shots outside the fairway although fairways are of a fair width. Greens were left too long which took away break and length of roll.

Challenging, well kept, and great views! Will return soon.

About ten years ago I played this course often and it was in much better shape. The greens are incredibly slow and the course has not been well maintained.

The Player course was excellent, I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a challenge. Recommend you make sure you are loose by the time you hit the hard 3rd hole, from the blue tees you have about a 220 yard carry to the fairway. Greens were in excellent condition. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to get paid with twosome that have played the course before. There are many blind/positional shots on the players course. Conditions were great from tee to green. Next time I am in the area again, I look forward to challenging this course again and scoring a little better.

The front nine on this course is very difficult because there are so many blind shots with hazards on both sides where you can't see where you're supposed to hit the ball and you can't see where your ball ends up. The back 9 is much more enjoyable. Conditions were pretty good. A few too many rocks in the bunkers though.
