A true gem

The Ranch is one of my favorite courses in New England. Pristine and challenging, it has many of the amenities of a top-end resort course but without the pretentiousness. Much of the course's challenges lie with the elevation changes, which also provide stellar views. Good shots are rewarded, off-course shots are punished, and the course is scorable without being repetitive. I'll make this course an annual trek and look forward to that tee time every fall.

Humbling Experiance

This course was a wonderful track. Hitting the fairways was vital to a good score. If you drifted too far off, the fescue made it difficult to find your ball.
The layout was challenging with some very picturesque holes.

I will definately return!

Great conditions, great year for THE RANCH!

Yesterday was my fifth time playing the ranch this year, and it did not disappoint. Greens were the fastest they’ve been all year, and the overall conditions were fabulous. I’m widely considered to be a total golf snob so when I tell you the course in the conditions were terrific, you can bet on it. I belong to (2) TPC’s & if I play a public course, it better be a good one, The Ranch is worth the drive.

I love the layout of this course I think the par fives are awesome to play! The views are beautiful and then another month they will be exceptional.

They are getting all new carts next year, which is needed badly, if they could just put a little money into the parking lot, a few of the common-areas between holes, and the bathroom facilities at the clubhouse, I would say this would be the a number one course in northern Connecticut southern Mass.

Always enjoy playing the course. Couldn't believe carts were allowed on course given all the rain the area has gotten, obviously great drainage.

Wonderful Round of Golf

Beautiful course in exceptional condition. Lots of elevation, lots of trees, lots of sand. You need to consider where all of the hills are before deciding on the break of your putt. No two holes are alike. Very enjoyable day!

Great track

Lots of memorable holes, great collection of par fives.

Some of the common areas are starting to get rough around the edges. Need to put some money into the clubhouse bathroom/locker room, golf carts, and the areas between holes also could use some attention.

However, the course itself is in great shape and has held up all year. Staff is attentive and takes care of slow play when you ask them.

Course layout is excellent. Challenging course with great greens. Driving range and putting greens are a nice amenity. Range balls included in the greens fee. One of the nicer golf courses in Massachusetts.
