Excellent and challenging course

Played here for the first time last week with the Safari Club. Great layout! Challenging, but fair. Course conditions were very good. Although the greens were recently aerated, which is to be expected at this time of year, they putted true. Staff was very helpful. All in all, a very enjoyable day!

Interesting Course

Played here on 9/19/18 with the Safari Club. Course was in very nice condition -- even with all the rain that we had recently. It drained well. Greens putted very true. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Had a nice meal in the tavern afterwards. New England clam chowder was out of this world! Looking forward to playing here next year.

Excellent Course and easy to get to from Western Mass

Played here for the first time with Safari Club on 7/11. What a great experience! Course was in excellent condition from tees to fairways to greens. Course layout is very interesting -- no two holes are alike. There are mostly tree-lined fairways and several elevation changes, but all-in-all, a very fair course, as fairways are decent widths. Staff was extremely accommodating from the time we arrived and throughout the day. The buffet that they served us was excellent! Whenever any of the food items got low, the staff was right there with refills. Highly recommend this course, and looking forward to returning there in the fall during foliage season.

Topstone is "Top Notch"!

Played here on 9/27 with the Safari Club. This was our second Safari Club visit here, as everyone enjoyed it so much last year. In the interim, my group liked the course so much that we returned 3 more times. Every time -- including this one, the course was in excellent condition from tee to green! The staff was excellent and had everything very well organized from the time we arrived to and including the nice barbecue buffet that we enjoyed after golf. Looking forward to returning for some Fall golf.

Very Challenging Course in Excellent Condition

Played here on 8/28 with the Safari Club. What a track! VERY interesting and challenging holes! The course layout is very different from most of the courses we play, with it's marshy areas. The course is spread over a large geographic area, and there are only a handful of holes where you can readily see adjacent holes. I'd love to play this in the foliage season, as it must be beautiful. This course reminds me a lot of the courses that I play in Myrtle Beach. It was in excellent condition throughout. Staff was very well organized and friendly. Looking forward to playing again next year.

Very Enjoyable Course

Played here on 8/9 with the Safari Club. Course was in excellent condition. Fairways were some of the best we've seen all year -- and this includes some upscale courses. Greens were in very good shape and putted well, and Tee boxes were also well groomed. Pace of play was very good, given the number of golfers we had that day (100+). Highly recommend this course.
