Egremont Country Club

About this course
Egremont Country Club occupies rolling terrain in the southern Berkshires near Great Barrington, Massachusetts. The course was designed by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek and opened in 1924. Stiles and Van Kleek were a prolific New England design partnership during the 1920s, responsible for numerous courses throughout the region that emphasized strategic routing over the natural contours of their sites. At Egremont, the layout moves across varied topography that includes elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of western Massachusetts. The course measures modest by contemporary standards but presents traditional design challenges through its use of natural terrain features and strategic bunkering. The routing takes advantage of the property's hillside setting, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and offering views across the surrounding Berkshire landscape. The design reflects the golden age emphasis on shot values and green complexes that reward precision over distance. Egremont Country Club functions as a private facility serving the Great Barrington area and seasonal residents of the southern Berkshires. The region has long been a summer destination, and the club reflects that tradition with a membership that includes both year-round locals and families with ties to the area. The course remains relatively unchanged from its original design, preserving the character of Stiles and Van Kleek's work during a period when many New England courses were built to integrate naturally into their wooded, hilly settings.

Getting there
The journey to Egremont Country Club begins at Albany International Airport, roughly an hour's drive east into the Berkshire foothills of western Massachusetts. The route traces the edge of the Taconic Range, trading interstate efficiency for winding two-lane roads that climb through hardwood forests and past stone-wall-bordered pastures. As you approach Great Barrington, the landscape softens into the pastoral elegance that has drawn artists and summer colonists to this corner of New England for generations, with the final turn onto Egremont's grounds feeling less like arrival than quiet discovery.
