Serving as the western outpost in Massachusetts, protecting the border against New York and Vermont, this is virtually the only course around. It is has some of the most dramatic scenery in the state, overlooking the underrated Berkshires.

Unlike many courses on ski hills, you don't use the lift here, which cuts the course fee to a very reasonable $6. Also unlike many ski hill courses, this has holes that appear to be designed by someone who has played before. The holes aren't all wide open shots along the trails (although many are) and require a bit of shot shaping.

Navigation wasn't bad. I lost the map they gave me pretty early on, but the next tee pad was always visible from the basket.

Notable holes:
Hole 16 is an open shot narrowing to a tunnel to a basket on the other side. Great risk/reward with whether you try to make it all the way through or lay up for a safe 3.

Hole 10 is a very technical shot up a tight gap that will kill errant shots. No bad rough, but lots of trees.

The tee pads are all gravel. I know you aren't going to get concrete pads on a mountain, but I didn't love my footing.

On two of the holes a mid-mountain animal pen comes into play. I think it might be a petting zoo, and the caretaker let us feed some goats, a lamb, and a donkey. So that was enjoyable, but retrieving my disc later on wasn't (do goats kick? Probably not, but I felt bad about intruding).

I had a spotter with me, but if I hadn't, it wouldn't have been as fun. The fairways are mowed but probably not every week, and there are lots of places to lose a disc in tall grass off the fairways or in thickets here and there. Hole 14 is begging to eat your disc if you tempt fate with a crappy turnover.

While not many holes are bad, there aren't many that are really great. The downhill holes aren't really bombers and are easy to overthrow, even at 400 feet. I was hoping for a big finishing hole, but I couldn't go all out on it and still overthrew it.

Fair warning, this isn't a great course for newcomers. I'm glad about that, but I didn't get a lot of 3s here and could see a newbie not having a blast. That said, this is a mountain that knows how to bring in the summer fun. There were waterslides, go karts, minigolf, mini boat races (the kind with remote control boats, not teams of dudes drinking), an impressive high ropes course...and goats! I wish I could have come here as a kid.
