Great course, poor amenities for the price

Course was beautiful and in very good condition. The amenities were very poor, especially for the price. There was no beverage cart and no food or drinks at the turn. The clubhouse was also very outdated and in need of some TLC. Also the golf carts were outdated and didn’t have any GPS.

Overall great playing experience but nothing that made us want to stick around after.

Superintendent From Central NY is Keeper of Must-Play GEM

It's rated as a top 10 in New England and it does not disappoint. The Greenskeeper grew up on Higby Road outside of Utica, NY and you can see his Uncle's course in a few weeks on NBC @ the Ryder Cup. Have to love this review especially coming from a GolfNow member who has booked over 100 tee times in the last year alone. Equinox is now my favorite place just above The Ranch in South Hadley, MA and that place I've describe as Heaven. Absolutely nothing negative other than a small favor that GolfNow can address by correcting the Website's amenity where a cart is not inclusive of the booking. Our GN members usually are hit with a cart fee of $35.00 per person and typically pay without incident. I promised the wonderful staff at Equinox that I would help to resolve this in a gracious manner especially owing to the local ties with the "Royalty" that makes this place as spectacular as it is. Please address this so that other GN clients can continue to enjoy Equinox. Watch the Ryder Cup September 26-28 (USA Day 1 and NBC/Peacock Day 2 & 3) and see Bethpage Black Course ... think Equinox especially in the fall with lovely foliage as a backdrop to this paradise in Manchester, VT. The bunkers are absolutely insane but rewarding if you can find your way out. The fifth hole is devilish if you don't know what's coming. Otherwise, it's worth every penny and the 2.5 hour drive for us to get there from Central NY. GN, please help us ... Thanx !!!

Very disappointed

My son and I were excited to play Equinox, but this ended up being one of the worst customer experiences I’ve had in 35+ years of golf.

We booked two 18-hole rounds with a cart through GolfNow. After three holes, a storm rolled in and play was suspended. Totally understandable. I came back the next morning to get a rain check, only to be met by an assistant pro (name tag said “V”) who was rude, dismissive, and kept interrupting me. Even after I showed proof of what I booked, he said “I hate GolfNow” and refused to honor the reservation. No apology—just attitude.

Eventually, he offered a 9-hole rain check with a cart, which isn’t what we paid for. I also called GolfNow, and they confirmed it was a system glitch, but they couldn’t issue a refund since the course charged me directly.

I’ve played a lot of golf in a lot of places. I understand mistakes happen, but this was handled terribly. No ownership, no apology, no effort to make it right. Disappointed all around.

$35 each person for a cart

Nice course but we were surprised with $35 each for the cart which equals a total of $70 for one cart. The other GolfNow courses we played this week had the carts included in the rate.

Good walking course

The course is fun with challenging greens and is a good walk. However, the bunkers continue to be inconsistent. Bunkers clearly have not been raked in a while also. At this price point that should not be an issue.

Friendly staff, fun course. Needs a warm up range.

Enjoyed our round. Perfect place to take in the colorful foliage. Finished in under 4 hours. A few traps need sand. Only thing missing is a range.
