Making a comeback?

Looking at previous reviews across the internet I wasn't expecting much when I played here for the first time, but was pleasantly surprised with the course.

Great layout with some challenging holes, every hole was pretty unique. Not 5 star conditions but good enough.

I will definitely be coming back.

Nice 9 hole

First time playing and had a great time, the $10 for 9 w a car on golfnow is the best golf deal I've ever gotten.

Course was in good condition. Short course but adds to the fun. Great views on 3 green/4 tee. Very old school feel with natural waste bunkers, high grass, etc.

2nd time, another great round

3rd time playing The Ranch, first time playing mid season. Conditions were great, few greens looked a little beat up, but were still rolling nice. Pace of play was good, finished under 4 hours.

Overall another great round at The Ranch, for $65 can't beat it.

Good course, not great

First time playing the course and have to say it has its ups and downs.

Pros: Front 9 holes, Clubhouse, Staff, Views

Cons: Back 9, some beat up tee boxes, 5+ hour round

Overall a good first outing, great views, great 19th hole, and great front 9, starter was very informative, etc.

Back nine has some strange holes, cramped holes. Not sure why a couple of the par 5s on the back are par 5s, very short. Should be changed to par 4s but I am guessing they want the par 71. Par 4 18th is 200 yards from the blue straight up hill. Not a very good finishing hole.

Note: Very wooded course, plan to lose balls, and don't spend 10 minutes looking for them every hole. If you're not breaking 90 move up a tee box and speed things along.

Favorite Course in Western MA

One of my favorite courses in the state, especially in Western MA. Not many courses can compare to the overall experience The Ranch has to offer. I've played here a handful of times over the past couples years and it continues to impress. Sets the standard for public courses in the area.

Now that I've found GolfNow I can hopefully play more often on the discount rates. A little expensive during peak season but is still worth every last $$

Beat the Crowds - Great Western MA views

I have played this course a handful of times over the past couple years. What brings me back is the fair prices and the great layout. Not in the greatest conditions, but the prices reflect that. I am from the Boston area and would gladly drive out to MV to play 18 with a cart for $30 on the weekends.

Not every course can be like The Ranch or The Crump. Mill Valley offers a great layout and some challenging holes.

A little rough around the edges but I love the course and will keep coming back every year.

Nice Layout/Avoid the Crowds

I go out to Western MA a few times a year to play MV Golf Links. I continue to comeback because of the fair prices, quiet atmosphere, and great layout.

Holes 12-18 are some of my favorites in the area. Greens are in decent shape, and the tee boxes and fairways are playable. Over the past three years I have seen significant improvements and hope to play this course going forward in the future.

Some new irrigation and some updated drainage systems, this course could potentially be one of the best in Western MA.
