Berkshire Hills at Berkshire Hills Country Club

Berkshire Hills Country Club sits in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, where A.W. Tillinghast designed the course in 1926. The layout occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes and wooded corridors framing many holes. Tillinghast, known for his strategic bunkering and thoughtful use of natural contours, applied these principles to a property that offers both uphill and downhill shots across its routing.

The course measures around 6,400 yards from the back tees and plays as a par 71. Several holes move through stands of mature trees, while others open to views of the surrounding Berkshire landscape. The greens feature the subtle undulations typical of Tillinghast's work, rewarding accurate approach play and requiring careful reading on the putting surface. The bunkering, though modified over the decades, retains elements of Tillinghast's original placement philosophy.

Berkshire Hills operates as a private club serving the Pittsfield area. The membership maintains the course and clubhouse facilities in keeping with traditional country club standards for the region. The club hosts member competitions and local amateur events throughout the season, which runs from spring through fall in this part of New England. The course represents one of several Tillinghast designs in Massachusetts and contributes to the architect's regional portfolio from the 1920s.
