Crestview Review

The course was in very good condition considering drought. Greens were excellent, layout is challenging. The pace of play was great. I would recommend this course to my golfing friends especially with the golfnow pricing.

This course needs work

Poor starter , felt like I was being rushed to play . my golf cart was in very poor condition , no GPS on golf cart , the yardage markers were damaged or not there at all , cart paths were bad , leaves on many of the holes played , but the fairways and greens were in great condition. overall not worth the regular rate of 80 dollars in season.

Way too overpriced

Chose to play this course while visiting Western Mass because of the good reviews it received, but I was very disappointed. $67 on a weekday, noon tee time with a cart. First off, the cart paths are horrendous. There's not one smooth patch of pavement and the whole ride around is bumpy as anything and starts to really be a pain further in your round. Secondly, the amenities were awful. Water in coolers every couple of holes that was warm. Cart girl came around once when I was on 18. Sand traps and bunkers were more like gravel. If money is not an issue and you want to play a rather challenging course (pretty long), then go ahead. But their rates are absurd for what you actually get and the overall course.

Run down and needs a lot of work!

I played Crestview on May 31st and was very excited to play it for the first time. The first hole was a great starter but as we played into the course, it got much worse!

The fairways needed to be cut but the greens were good, fast and true. The rough was about a foot high and in need of a serious mow job. There were weeds and flowers growing throughout the course and we could not wait to finish. The cart paths were all in need of repair and it is evident that this course has been let go in the worst way.

They should take a page out of The Southampton Country Club's playbook. Not worth the money we spent at all. We did eat after the round and the food was excellent. It should have been included in the price though.

Marginal at best!

I expected a awesome experience at Crestview but got a marginal experience for the money. The greens were good but the fairways were just OK and the cart parts, fairways and roughs were overgrown and long with one machine cutting the grass. I won't be back and you can get better conditions at Southampton C.C.

Great time a t Creastview

I play with the Safari Club and we went to play a round of golf. We had a super time. We are about 100 people and they treated us super. The course was in great shape with the fairways the best we have played on this season. The greens were in great shape and a little faster than I'm used to putting on. The greens were very true. I had a great round and birdied holes on 10 and 11. First time I done that this year. After the round they provided a supper buffet it was the best we have this season. Will sure to be back.

Superb parkland layout

It was indeed fortunate that our Safari Club golf group got to play this superb course. With tight fairways and rather heavy rough, balls in play were a key to scoring. All greens were identical and in excellent shape without ball marks or other imperfections. Would go back again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely Spectacular

Played here with the Safari Club and what a great experience it was for me and all our members.

Course is in IMMACULATE shape and is one of the very best layouts to be found anywhere in the northeast.

Also, if you need a bite to eat go no further than their 19th hole. They put a buffet together for us that was absolutely out of this world.

Crestview is an easy 5-star golf venue for anyone to enjoy.

Hard to find better in WMass

The track and the conditions are excellent. Crestview is easily in the class with The Orchards and Crumpin- Fox. Fairways and greens are always in top condition. And hard to beat those four closing holes!

One of the best kept courses in Western MA

Love getting out to play Crestview. By far one of my favorite courses in Western MA , and when you can get out there and play it for under $40 with golfnow.com it's a bargain. I've played many of the private courses around and Crestview always seems to be in better shape. Staff did a great job with the leaves which is challenging this time of year. The greens were pretty quick and the rough was very thick. Keep it in the fairway off the tee! Short chips onto fast greens out of that rough is no easy task. I would suggest aiming at the middle of the green.

Nice old school course.

Most of the holes are fairly long which allows you to use all the clubs in your bag. The course is challenging, but not unfair.

Best public in Western MA

Other than getting stuck behind a foursome which refused to let us play through on the back our group had a great outing. Nice layout, challenging and without gimmicky holes. More playable/enjoyable than Crumpin' Fox or the Ranch
