About this course

Greenock sits in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, designed by Donald Ross and opened in the 1920s during his most prolific period. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the region, with elevation changes that Ross used to create natural strategic interest. The layout moves through a mix of open and wooded areas, with views across the surrounding hills that define this part of New England. Ross's design at Greenock reflects his familiar principles: greens with subtle contours and false fronts that reward precise approach play, bunkers positioned to challenge both tee shots and approaches, and holes that offer multiple routes depending on skill and conditions. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural slopes, with several holes playing uphill or downhill and requiring thoughtful club selection. The course measures modest by modern standards, placing emphasis on accuracy and course management rather than distance. Greenock Country Club serves as a traditional private club for the Lee area and surrounding Berkshire communities. The course has remained relatively unchanged over the decades, preserving much of Ross's original design intent. It represents a quieter example of his work compared to his more celebrated New England layouts, offering members a classic round of golf in a setting that reflects both the architect's design philosophy and the character of the Massachusetts countryside.

Getting there

The journey to Greenock Country Club begins at Albany International Airport, roughly forty-five minutes to the west, though many members arriving from Boston or New York opt for the scenic three-hour drive through the Berkshire foothills. The final approach follows Route 20 as it climbs gently into Lee, a quintessential New England mill town where red brick and white clapboard give way to rolling pastureland. As you turn onto the club's tree-canopied drive, the hum of the valley fades, replaced by the hushed stillness of a private enclave that has quietly occupied this western Massachusetts hillside since the early twentieth century.
