As soon as we arrived the starter was ready to hold our bags while we had lunch. I suggest you dine at their Dormy Grill. The food there was excellent and the outside patio's view speaks for itself. When we were ready to go out, the starter was able to fit us in as a two-some so we wouldn't feel uncomfortable playing with more advanced players. The holes are nicely laid out. The course is a bit hilly towards the end of the nine. If you have the opportunity to play there, you will not be disappointed.

The course is beautiful, with a manageable front and long back 9 (6500 yrs) from the middle tees. The course is open and even high handicap golfers will not lose many balls; there are really only a few spots on the course that are truly out of bounds. The staff is typically very friendly, Jeremy who manages the bag room is particularly nice. The pros are all great too. The whole place is well maintained, as they do host PGA (junior/womens) events from time to time. The greens play very fast towards the end of summer, and some of them slope in ways that will really frustrate anyone. Price-wise, the place is on the upper end if you have no college affiliation (about 140 or so) but is exceptionally cheap for students (35 dollars) so definitely a place to visit if you are in the area and still in school. The course truly cannot be recommended enough, and it offers some exceptional views of both the Williams College campus and the surrounding areas.

I had a late afternoon tee time on a weekday and they were very kind and let my wife and 9 month old son go along for the round. We weren't even charged rider fees. We basically had the course to ourselves and I was able to finish the round in right around 3 hours. I would definitely come back here to play again!

First we all took a Zumba class! The instructor was an adorable lady with tons of energy so we had a blast! Then we all split up to do our own things. I personally took a quick shower then sat in the steam room but it didn't seem to be working so I went in the sauna, which I loved. Some other friends used the gym and others went in the pool. After the sauna I sat in the waiting area for my massage and drank a cup of herbal tea with my friends. My massage was excellent! So relaxing and she spent extra time on my areas where I asked her to focus- lower back and hips. After our massages, one of my friends and I went in the outdoor hot tub. What a great experience to be in that hot bubbly water while it was snowing! It's located in a covered area so it didn't snow on us. Then we came back inside and sat in the sauna one more time then I showered and got dressed. What a fun, relaxing time! I took a star off as the steam room wasn't working although I noticed someone contacted staff to inform them and it was fixed. Also, they only had small and extra large sandals available so I wore the small ones which were not very comfortable. My friends had trouble with their lockers and had to get staff more than once to assist them. Other than those minor issues, we had a fantastic experience!

2025 Thanksgiving Buffet Review. Our party of four attended the 11 am seating for the Equinox…read moreThanksgiving Buffet at $75 per person. Having been to their buffet, years past (not Thanksgiving), I was expecting a Splendid Presentation and Showcasing of the buffet faire. In past years, there were ice sculptures on tables and a pianist, performing live music. One member of my party, finally went up and asked if they were planning to turn on some dining music; an oversight on management's part, and quickly music filled the Colonnade Room. The stuffing was oversalted. The warming tray had not been sufficiently preheated; and being one of the first diners, the mashed potatoes were hard and cold. Absolutely no sweet potato or yam dish was prepared or available; I mean, that's a Classic Thanksgiving Dish! Unlike previous visits, most of the dishes and desserts on the buffet tables were not labeled to identify the food item. When we left our table to revisit the buffet, the bussers repeatedly would clear the empty plates/utensils/napkins from our table, and not reset the table with replacements. With infrequent passes by servers, we resorted to cannablizing these items from the unoccupied table next to us. After mentioning this to the server, nothing seemed to change regarding this issue of replenishing our utensils. And No One took the time to replace the items we scavenged from the neighboring table. Judging by the low occupancy in the dining area in opening hour that, we ate, I could only surmise that the EQUINOX's Buffet reputation has slipped over the years. The main course meat section was Excellent and many food items were, very Good. Never saw the Head Chef come out to inspect the Buffet line. Just Much Less than What I Was Anticipating, especially Given the Reputation of the EQUINOX. Definitely, an Absence of Attention to Detail here, today. Not starting the music without prompting. Cold warming dishes. Disappointing lobster claw appetizer. Untrained busser staff.

Then we checked in, two bored young ladies had nothing to offer. Come to find out they should have told us about paying for range balls there. Then onto the course, just a 10 minute interval between groups on a very difficult course meant three or four groups on every hole. The friendly rangers were useless except for telling the all-female groups to keep up. For $135 a round, we deserved better but it was so slow we quit after the 12th hole. Never going back. Had a much better experience at Stratton the next day.

An excerpt from my travel blog:…read more Dad, Uncle Pete and one "bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" golfing squirrel ready for our 7am tee time. Dad's approach shot on hole one. I love this hole... Hole number two features a very scenic par 3 hole. I'm already digging these rental Nike irons and driver. Too bad Nike is getting out of the game... Mist on the pond at hole number two. The greens are mostly sloping with rough pin placement throughout the course. A fun elevated green on a par three hole. We take our golf carts through "The Sherwood Forest". Only on the East Coast... They have interesting insects (albino caterpillar?) in the caterpillar family here. Wow! This course is $79.00 per person on a Saturday and worth every penny. Of course I come from one of the most expensive states in the country. Uncle Pete "going deep" for a .10 cent range ball. Apparently retirement was entered into a bit prematurely for my beloved uncle. A zoomed in view of the ski runs at Mt. Snow. "Dog leg right". I mishit my 3-wood and sent a towering drive that cleared the pond but not by a lot. Well, at least the 2nd baseman didn't track down my ball on an "infield fly rule".

Fore-U golf center has two 18 hole courses and a driving range. They also sort of have an ice cream place as well, it located halfway around the parking lot form the mini golf. They have a red course and a blue course, the blue course is the flatter and easier of the two, it loops all the way around the property and you get a nice view of the river. The red course is the harder of the two, it is more up and down and has the hill with the giant fake waterfall on it. Both courses were nice with some nice stone work and water features. I like the big koi pond at the end of the blue course. Both courses are in a bit of rough shape, I am not sure if that was because of how early in the year it was or if the just need some more TLC in general. None of the tuft was ripped, but it was pretty dirty in places. The guy working the register was wonderful, he reminded me of my grandpa. The price for the mini golf was not bad, $7 per adult and only $3 more to play both courses. I did not use the driving range, but it looked pretty nice and there were plenty of people using it. Overall a good place for 18 or 36 holes of mini golf, but it could use a good spring cleaning.

Strange I never knew this course existed until a friend invited me to play both North and South courses on one day. Overall it was fun. I played the South course much better than the slightly more difficult North. I'll blame it on being tired. It was a long day made needlessly longer. Both courses are in pretty good shape. The greens had quite a bit of undulation to them, but they ran true. Fairways were also in decent shape. It was a nice day of golf, but made long by poor course scheduling management. We prebooked our 3 tee slots, there were 12 of us. The morning round went off without a hitch. We were scheduled to go off the second round on the North course between 1 and 1:30, about an hour or so after the 1st round. When we completed the morning South course round, the pro informed us there would be a little delay as they had a scramble tournament in progress on the North and they were running slow. Nearly 2 hours later, and little communication, we were still waiting. I'm sure they run many scramble tournaments do it amazes me that thry misjudged completion so badly. We finally did tee off and got the round in as dusk was approaching. I then had an hour and a half ride home to a pissed off wife and disappointed grandson
