Overview
Situated just over the Massachusetts border—between Hartford, Conn., and Springfield, Mass.—The Ranch is a solid public course that blends narrow tree-lined holes with more exposed ones. Combined with some steep elevation changes, there is nice layout variety at The Ranch, which is best enjoyed in the fall when the coloful leaves light up the foothills of the Berkshires. The reachable par-5 opener is particularly exciting, with a split fairway tempting players to take a gamble on the first shot of the day.

“Solid public golf option west of Springfield, MA. The two downhill par fives will be a highlight for many."

“Good layout and lots of tees so bite of what you can chew. Nice driving range. I didn't like #18 because there was no good target, but otherwise enjoyable. A little pricey."

“The Ranch is a modern public offering located between Hartford CT and Springfield. This is on the short list of public courses I'd recommend to those visiting Massachusetts and is a ton of fun with steep elevation changes and beautiful views throughout. This is one of the best public courses in New England for me."
