Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2019.
Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Amherst is one of western Massachusetts' premier courses. It plays across a gently rolling landscape accented with mature tree that offers an especially scenic round in the fall thanks to the changing colors of the foliage. The course has some subtle contours but it is still pleasantly walkable and offers just enough of a challenge to appeal to low and high handicappers alike. The layout consists of an interesting variety of holes including some that are long, a few doglegs, and also some birdie opportunities. The golf course finishes with one of the area's most memorable holes. This long par 4 calls for an accurate tee shot in order to avoid the river on the left and the rough on the right. The challenges don't end there either with a second shot to a wide, elevated green protected by large, deep bunkers.

The course conditions were quite good when you consider the late season, rain, leaves, etc.
Excellent course conditions. Moderately challenging.
Tees, greens and fairways are very consistent and well maintained. The greens are true and not difficult to read. The staff was helpful. The course is moderaely difficult for the average golfer. Short par 4s require precision and long holes are generously open. The par 5s are short by today's standards. I rate the course above average and a good value for the price.
I've played this course in the past.
This course is under new ownership and is in far better conditions then the past. The greens are very large and are cut much lower, thus speeding them up making them more challenging . The superintendent is doing a great job and I highly recommend any one who has played it in the past and who has not played it to give it a try.
