Beautiful course

Played again with the Safari Golf Club on a very nice day. The course was in excellent condition, beautiful to look at, with some terrific scenic views of surrounding hills. The staff is always very courteous and helpful. Good time had by all. Also good food and cold beer in restaurant or outside with view of the course.

Always a Pleasure

Played with the Safari Club. Course conditions were excellent with fast greens. I have played here many times and it is our go to course. It is a moderate challenge with many risk-reward opportunities. The staff at the pro shop are always friendly and the bartender and waitstaff are too. Great sandwiches, haven't had time to try dinner. Would recommend this for anyone to play. We returned a week later to play again.

Great Course, Fantastic Scenery

Play with the Safari Club in perfect weather conditions. The course was in remarkable condition in spite of recent heavy rains. The layout is very playable, a few blind shots that take getting used to but go ahead to view before you hit. Only criticism is there was not a view of each hole on a marker near the tee and no course map on the back of the score card so we didn't know the shape of each hole when we teed off. Everything else was excellent. Staff very friendly, beautiful club house. Great bloody marys!

Another Winner

I played with the Safari Club on 7/19 in hot weather with a breeze. The course condition was great other than some washouts in traps due to torrential storm day before. These were already under repair. Greens were excellent. The entire staff was very professional and very friendly. Then served us a fantastic meal. Can't wait to return and would recommend to anyone.

Another Safari Gem

They call it a hidden gem and it is. A little hard to get to but a beautiful place with lots of rocky hills surrounded by woods. The course was in good shape, greens were fast, fairways were ok because we've had a lot of rain.
Cart path was pretty bumpy, used the grass mostly.
Staff gave the Safari Club a warm welcome and were very accomadating. We're going back in the fall for the foliage and for a great getaway. I had food there before and it was very good, didn't have time to eat this time.

Safari Club does it again

The Safari Club of Western Mass somehow found this absolutely gorgeous course in the Green Mountains of Vermont. 90 min. ride was worth it when we hit the first tee and saw the view of the surrounding mountains. Every fairway was different either play downhill or up. Greens were in great shape. Everything well maintained. We're going to make this a destination again.

Great Course

Played for the first time with the Safari Golf Club of Western Mass. with about 120 other members. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great time as the weather was a little damp to start but quickly dried out and sun came out later. This course was in excellent conditions. Loved the large rolling greens that were moderately quick. Rolling hills are very scenic with some great views. Course was very manageable for a bogey golfer like myself. Unfortunately did not get to stay to enjoy food and drink but will return soon with friends and stay after.

Beautiful but Tough

I played this course again with the Safari Golf Club of Western Massachusetts. It was in excellent condition as always. For an average bogey golfer like myself it is a fairly challenging course. Very hilly, a lot of woods with some narrow fairways. the large greens were fast and rolled very true. I'm glad I had a cart. Will definitely be back this year.

Great course, Beautiful day

I played with the Safari Golf Club. One of the best courses of the year as far as conditions go. Tees and fairways in excellent condition. Greens looked good but putted rather slow, could be this time of year they are not cut as short. The staff was friendly and helpful as always. Simple pub food but pretty tasty.

Beautiful Place

Maybe the most beautiful course I have played all year with the Safari Golf Club. Immaculate conditions, the best cart path anywhere, fast true rolling greens, a good challenge without being overwhelmingly difficult.
After a very enjoyable round of golf we had a great cookout buffet.
We've already made plans to return in a foursome or two early this fall.

Another very enjoyable day

I have played Ledges many times in the past. It is my favorite local course. I is challenging enough but still very playable. I played Monday and the pace was very slow, stuck behind some very slow player and at the turn a group jumped in front of us. Wednesday I was with the now famous Safari Club. Every thing went so smooth from start to finish. The greens were in their excellent condition and the fairways were surprisingly green in spite of the drought. They use their ponds to keep the water flowing. Afterward had a great meal in the clubhouse. I always recommend the Ledges to anyone in the area or those who are willing to drive a little.

Very Scenic

I was amazed at the gorgeous views of all the surrounding Bershire mountains. Can't wait to return in the fall when all the leaves have turned. The Safari Club has done it again with a real hidden gem. Very unexpected course layout with all the ups and downs. So many twists with 90 doglegs and quite a few blind shots. I was lucky to be with two people who had played there before who could guide us. Only down side was returning to a stifling hot clubhouse with out a restaurant and one bartender for 88 hot golfers.

Always in Top Condition

I have played this course many times over the years. It's a real hidden gem in Western Massachusetts. Every time I am there I am amazed at how good the course looks. Very smooth rolling greens, fairways are well maintained as well as the tee boxes. They feature an early morning special weekdays to beat the heat early in the summer. We played there last Wed. with the Safari Club and I know everyone enjoyed the outing. The food is always great as well. I have had soup and sandwiches and attended banquets all were very tasty.

Head for Agawam

Last minute my friend calls and wants to play locally. I go to GolfNow.com and find a great deal for Agawam Golf Course. We used to play there a lot but had somehow missed it for a couple of years. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they had just purchased brand new golf carts, and the course was in the best condition I have seen it in. We moved right along and finished in just 4 hours. We'll be back a few times this summer.
