This was the second time I've played at Crumpin Fox. I love the course, and the staff is exceptionally nice. We happened to be slotted in behind a group of 4 foursomes that seemed to think they had the course to themselves. While waiting on the tee on *9 (along with with the group playing behind us), we watched one member of the foursome in front of us take 9 shots on a par three. Our front-nine took almost 3 hours. (2 hours and 50 minutes to be exact). I never saw a marshal on the course, and we sure could have used one. I'm going to think carefully about playing there again.

I have heard many great things about Crumpin Fox from several different area players. It absolutely did not disappoint. While about 1 hour drive from the Springfield MA area,, the course is actually quite easy to get to - right off 91N at Bernardston. The course layout and conditioning was outstanding. The driving areas were quite generous - but a very (I mean VERY) demanding 2nd shot golf-course. Some course knowledge is helpful - particularly on the back 9. For middle- and higher handicappers, I strongly suggest the gold tees. The course rating from the blues (6500 yds) is a strong 72.3. Overall a delightful experience, and I definitely plan to come back.
