This course's fairways are wide and tree lined. Water hazards come into play on four holes, including the signature hole, #6, a 408-yard, par 4, which requires a blind tee shot, then an approach shot over a stream to the green. The Massachusetts Golf Association has rated this as the second hardest hole in western Massachusetts.
