Great course

Played this today with the Safari Group and what a day!. The entire course was in great condition, as it has been all summer. Greens had been aerated a couple of weeks ago, but had grown back in nicely and were putting true. Pace of play was excellent. We had over 100 players on the course, and it only took a little over 4 hours. Pro Bill Kubinski made us all feel welcome. In the morning, there was complimentary coffee and donuts, and after golf, there were 3 bartenders in the bar area, and they fired up the outside grill for hot dogs and hamburgs. A great touch! Thanks to Bill and staff for a truly enjoyable day!

This course has some challenges

Considering the hot and dry conditions we have experienced this summer, the course was in great shape. Pace of play was a bit slow, but that could be attributed to the off/on rain showers.

Staff was very friendly and hooked up with a two-some on the 3rd hole and played the rest of the round with them. They are frequent players there.

I've been playing Westover for years, and it's in the best condition I've ever seen. If you haven't been here, or maybe in awhile, give it a look. Still one of the best tracks in our area.

First time here in 3 years- happy to be back!

It's a beauty- and definitely longer than most places in the area, either from the white tees or blue. You really need to be super accurate here or pay the price in the trees. Greens were first class. Bunkers had great sand and fairways are lush. Others are right- it's mostly flat. Pace of play was slow for 8am-11 on a Saturday, which was disappointing.. Only a handful of forced carries or doglegs to contend with. And the layout and direction between holes is probably the most straight forward of any course in the area. Will definitely be back when my driving is better!

Awesome value and course

I've played here for years because I think it checks all the boxes. Fun course, great value, the course is in excellent shape, and the staff are great. If you haven't played here in a few years, I would strongly recommend trying it again, as the course conditions have come back strongly. The food is really good, too, and I've found everyone who works there to be very friendly and accomodating.

Good Value!

I live in the area and I play all the public and semi-private courses within 20 miles of my home. I've never been disappointed with the conditions at this course. I play the White tee boxes which are 6614 yards but if you're up for the challenge, the Blues are 7005. The greens hold approach shots well and are not too fast. More importantly, they're consistent for all 18. Some of the bunkers could use more sand and others had some large stones that should be raked clean. The practice putting green is large and true to the greens on the course. They have a nice driving range but they never use the back portion of the teeing area. Not sure what they're saving it for. There's a good 40 yards of teeing area and if they staggered it starting from back to front, they could keep all areas maintained and growing new seed. Unfortunately they only use a small section of the front which gets beat beyond repair during the season. Aside from these few gripes, you will not be disappointed if you choose to play here.

There was some standing water. If you're playing the weekend, you'll enjoy your round.

Excellent course!

There were 3 of us and it was our first time there for all of us. We were very impressed with the quality of the course especially for the money . The course is in great shape with the slight exception of the cart paths. No big deal really. The greens are in excellent shape and are challenging but fun!. We stopped after 9 and got lunch that was very tasty and a great deal. All the staff had great personalities . The only thing I wish they would do differently is place some water coolers around the course. There are literally none except for 1 randomly placed water bubbler. I will absolutely play this course again in the future!

What happened?

This used to be one of my favorite course in Western Mass. Played it today for the first time in 4-5 years, and oh have things gone downhill. The course was simply in awful condition, everything to the tees to the fairways, to the bunkers and green. The rough was the only thing in good condition. The tee boxes were filled with crabgrass. Fairways were dead and not very plush. The greens were the worst I can ever remember putting on.They were aerated about 5 days ago, but that wasn't even the problem. You could see the greens were not in good shape even without the punches. The putting green was not aerated and the grass was easily 1/4 inch. Any putt outside 6-8 was a prayer depending on how the ball hopped. Nevermind being above the whole. I used to love this course because it's long (even from the whites if that's your tee of choice.), makes you hit a lot of different shots and use all the clubs in your bag. For a municipal course the greens were always in great shape. It was a good test for your golf game. Today was the first day in the long time I didn't have any fun playing golf. I could not wait to get off the course. And to make matters worse, we only saw the cart girl twice in 18 holes of play. If you're going play there make sure you play ahead and ask the pro or someone you know who plays the course to see if things have improved. I'd highly recommend going to Chicopee CC. Not far from Westover, another city-ran course, and the greens are in some of the bets shape in the state for a public or private course.

It's definitely worth playing if the course is in fair-good shape, but I wouldn't expect that to happen anytime this season. I know a lot of courses had a hard time recovering from a brutal winter, but this is beyond anything the winter did.

Hi "JackStraw15" Thank you for your honest review. The course right now is undergoing some significantly hot weather. We have had some crab grass pop up due to the increased humidity but not enough to effect play. We are taking necessary actions to resolve the maintenance situation. As for the beverage cart , for the amount of play that we have been enduring two visits on the course from our cart girl is very respectable. Especially when we have a full bar before, after, and in between nine's for you to access. We would love to reconcile the situation if you could please email me directly at westovermunicipalteetimes@outlook.com. Thanks MGT
