Surprised by low staffing

The course was in better condition than I remembered it and that was definitely a plus. Although the front nine went quickly, the pace of play over the last nine holes was terrible ( on a Wednesday in the mid afternoon) and there did not appear to be any employees on the course to pick things up. Was also surprised to find there was no starter.

While there are some interesting holes on the course, many are either very short or very long. Way too many 225 yard approach shots.

With all this said it is still a good value if you can book at the right price. Just

Great potential

Love the overall feel of this course but it requires incredibly long and accurate tee shots. Multiple 450+ yard par four with the tee shot requiring a massive fade or draw. Many times we thought we hit ideal tee shots to find our ball in the adjacent fairway. Also greens were bumpy and bunkers have been taken over by weeds. I feel the conditions will improve as we approach summer.

Fun course

I always enjoy Berkshire golf course. They have tee box positions based on your drive distance. Makes for a fair game with your opponents. Gives me a confidence boost lol. Course in good condition, the greens were very nice. The cart paths aren't the smoothest, need serious repairs. Have new huge deck. Staff bet pleasant. Highly recommend.

Berkshire

Course was in great condition save for greens but to be expected this time of year. The main issue with the course are the horrrndous cart path conditions in which are brutal navigating cart around. Reminds me of Cleveland street potholes after this winter

spring rains

always enjoy playing this course. Unfortunately, because of the hills and valleys it can take a little longer to dry after much rain or coming out of the winter.

I'll be back

This was my first time at this course. I enjoyed playing here and will return. We played on a sunny day in November - 62 degrees. For this time of year the course was in good shape. Mostly dry condition with bounce and roll on most shots. Can't wait to play under summer conditions.

Best Value in Northeast Ohio

Berkshire Hills is the perfect golf tract no matter what your skill level is. The terrain, layout and setting are just beautiful.

Probably the 15th time I have played there in 2017!

Enjoyable play

The fairways were in great shape, but the greens had been recently aerated, so they were slow and bumpy. I really appreciated the various tee boxes to hit from. It made the play enjoyable for all who played that day.

Nice layout, just you and the woods

This course used to be my home course but the greens on most holes are in poor condition. New deck and good driving range can't save it. FIX THE GREENS.

Hi Foghat, we recently purchased Berkshire. We are paying for years of neglect. 2 years ago no grass on fairways even. If you play in 2018, please upgrade your review. You will see great changes. This was my home course years ago too!!

Forces in pretty rough shape.

Course was a couple notches below its normal condition. Could be weather related. Overall they are trying to improve The facilities as well as the course.

Greens need help

Course has its pluses and minuses - layout and topography are interesting, but some of the par 4's are too long for the average player (453 yds?). Most of the greens are in poor condition.

What a dump!

Berkshire Hills might be the worst golf course I've ever played at. The greens weren't mowed. It was like putting on shag carpeting. I played with my 12 year old son and told him I'm sorry for the conditions of the course.

Good price

Very slow pace due to having a tee time in front of an outing. Scramble start.Outing participants blasting music and being drunken fools. These idiots should have been kicked off the course
