About this course

Waubeeka Golf Links sits in the Berkshire Hills of northwestern Massachusetts, just outside Williamstown near the Vermont border. Designed by Rowland Armacost and opened in 1967, the course occupies rolling farmland with views of Mount Greylock, the highest peak in Massachusetts, and the surrounding mountain ranges that define this corner of New England. The layout reflects the era's approach to public golf design, offering accessible play across varied terrain without excessive length or severe hazards. The routing moves across open and wooded ground, with elevation changes that provide natural interest and strategic variety. Several holes play along hillsides or through corridors of mature trees, while others occupy more exposed meadow settings where wind can influence club selection. The course measures under 6,300 yards from the back tees, emphasizing accuracy and course management over distance. Greens are typically modest in size and contour, rewarding approach shots that find the correct level or quadrant. Waubeeka serves as a community course for the Williamstown area and attracts visitors drawn to the Berkshires for its cultural institutions, including Williams College and nearby summer arts venues. The facility maintains a straightforward, welcoming character consistent with many New England daily-fee courses from the mid-twentieth century. The setting remains the course's most distinctive feature, with mountain vistas and the pastoral quality of the Berkshire landscape providing a scenic backdrop throughout the round.

Getting there

The journey to Waubeeka Golf Links begins at Albany International Airport, roughly forty minutes west across the New York border, though many travelers opt for the slightly longer drive from Bradley International in Hartford for more direct connections. The route north traces the Taconic Range, climbing steadily through the Berkshire foothills as the Hoosic River valley opens wide and Mount Greylock - Massachusetts' highest peak - looms to the east. The final miles wind through Williamstown's classic New England village center before ascending South Williamstown Road, where the links emerge on a dramatic hillside shelf overlooking the valley below, a world apart from the college town's quiet streets.
