Only critique there is that the water isn't really well maintained. The service is always pretty neat, nothing extravagant, but exceptional. They're really good at taking orders there, even when it can be hard because of background noise. The food there is amazing, though. They have some of the best french fries I've had, perfectly golden and salty. They also have good burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, and more. Their hard server ice cream and sno-ball slushies are really good as well.

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.

If you end up playing here, though, you'll be treated to one of the best 18 holes you can play in Massachusetts. This course is very well maintained, and very challenging. There are almost no holes that you can survive with an innacurate tee shot. The course itself is very long, and has difficult shots around its very protected greens. The course was designed by Donald Ross, and you can see some of his trademark elements still in the design. If you' have enough money to become a member here, I would seriously consider it.

There is enough water and heavy woods to lose a few balls, so if you tend to spray then you might need a few extra. The greens are generally very small.

After playing 99% of my golf on the west coast over the past decade, it's really nice to play a lush, wooded east coast track. Measuring 6000 from the back tees, Egremont CC is a tough test. Water comes into play on 8 or 9 holes, but for the most part the course is very fair with tight little greens. The condition was excellent considering it was June and we had 2 str8 days of rain. Wish my dad could've been there, but I'm sure he was watching down on us!

We used the putting green and had fun practicing our strokes. They don't have tee times so guests are asked to call in to see what times are good times for guests. First priority goes to members. The course is well taken care of and seems to have some challenging spots. It's mostly flat which is good for sight lines and for seeing your ball and the flags. They have plenty of golf carts. There is also a restaurant attached . Nice people work there.

The workers there were very patient and friendly and walked my group and I through swinging the club and varying techniques since it was our first time. It made the experience so much more fun, and we learned along the way. Very intimate setting with only two greens. You could rent out one for up to six players for $50 each hour, or both for a bigger party! They have many options - you could strictly do the driving range or choose from courses with varying difficulty levels. After each swing, it lets you know your stats. They also have clubs available if you do not have your own. With two televisions inside, you do not have to worry about missing any of the sports games either. I also loved that it was bring your own food and drink. There are so many great restaurants within walking distance that offer take out - we ordered some apps from 75 Center (I recommend).

This was one of the smaller indoor golf facilities I've been to, but it felt cozier and less intimidating because of it. My fiancé and I are beginners, and his mom plays more often, but we all had fun! There were plenty of different courses to pick from that are fitting for a range of skill levels. I really appreciated that they provided takeout menus from nearby restaurants and provided a nice area where you can spread out some food, sit, and relax. We were able to rent their golf clubs for free, and the hour and a half rental time was perfect for the 3 of us. This was a great winter activity, and we'll be keeping it in mind for the summer too if we want to stay out of the heat!

Love it or be gone. Arriving at 5:45, I hadn't inquired as to what time the first tee ball hits the air, turns out it's about 8:00am. So I practiced my sneaky bump and runs, flips and flops and Texas toe downs. And player worth his salt has to know a multitude of great escape shots. So I lead the field being put out as a single with twins and fours amassing behind me and being 2 years removed from the short grass (due to injuries) I was a bit nervy on the 1st tee, nobody knew who I was, everyone else knew each other. Fortunately I ripped a low 3 iron cut stinger and I was off, still walking and carrying my bag, adding layers and subtracting layers as it was nippy in the mountains. I love the classic shallow and square bunkering design originally popular with architecture from the 20's and 30's. The greens rolled true but I couldn't buy a putt, not much break out there and putting off the second collar is doable. The fairways were in the shape to be expected for early season golf, what I should have done was pay closer attention to the unseen creeks that protected some greens and ran out along the sides. But I was the first player and I needed to set a good pace out there. Overall, the course played extremely fair, I can't give the staff enough credit for such fine service for me, attentiveness and extremely friendly.

Rip Van Winkle holds a special place in my heart…read more Not only is it the closest golf course to my parents' home and as such the place where I've golfed the most in the past decade (not saying much), but it's also the first place my brother, my father and I played after my father went through some very serious medical issues. We weren't entirely sure if he would ever be able to play golf again, so it was an amazing feeling to get out and hit a few balls with him last year. My father is doing much better now (physically at least, not that much better at golf), and so we try and get out whenever possible. This adds up to a couple times a year here when I'm in town, and accordingly, I am very, very bad at golf. Please believe that no one is mistaking Rip Van Winkle for something that belongs on the PGA Tour. When Greene County hasn't gotten enough rain, you may see a few brown spots out there. It's only nine holes, and generally pretty flat. However, it's an accessible, family-run place that I feel lucky to be able to play. It's affordable (kids play free too), and has my kind of casual vibe. I love that if I forgot to pack a collared shirt, they don't hassle me. My dad says the owner John is a great guy, and I like that his teenage son is often riding around tidying up the course. It's a true family biz. They do a good job too; the greens are well-maintained, the mountain backdrop is gorgeous, and you can't be sad about any day you spend trying to knock a little white ball around a beautiful grassy area. I suppose I can be sad about how poorly I do it, but I'm pretty happy here overall.
