New England Disc Golf Center

This review is for both, as both courses are at the same site. I've been playing all over for 20 years, and the reviews are completely padded. This course charges $10 per person, yet is still young and raw, has dangerous astroturf pads, no permanent signage, no physical scorecards, no amenities, no facilities, no special/unique features (ponds)no pro shop... The D rating is to offset the padding, it's really a C+/B-. The course is in no way worth $10 per person. Pie in the sky lofty aspirat ...

And for someone to have compared this to Maple Hill in one of the reviews made me snort. It would be fine for a free local park course, but for $10 per person, I'd expect something of serious caliber between Wickham and Maple Hill, which it's not even close to.

Without a doubt one of the best courses in Western MA. The championship tees are about 700 feet short of being the same distance as the gold tees at Maple Hill. The tee boxes are well kept, signage for each hole is very accurate. This is a fun wooded course with elevation changes. It also has small streams that boarder several holes on both courses.

Without a doubt one of the best courses in Western MA. The championship tees are about 700 feet short of being the same distance as the gold tees at Maple Hill.

Contrary to Andrew O's comment this course has a bathroom in season when the course is officially open to the public, the check-in shed seconds as a small pro shop on weekends. The owner puts out tables and has quite a good selection of discs. I recently moved to the area and have been playing both courses here almost everyday for two months. I'm literally sitting here laughing at this dudes comment saying the tee boxes are "dangerous".

Long and challenging with two layouts, one being the longest in WMass. To review the center as a whole: any person who gives the NEDGC a 'D' to counter other votes, is grading out of personal pettiness and quite frankly is a clown, so allow me to give a counter perspective. This place is the epicenter of disc golf in WMass and well worth the $10 of play, or $100 membership and here's why: You have UNLIMITED rounds on two private, vastly different, ever evolving, well maintained, 12,000+ ft of pr ...

Long and challenging with two layouts, one being the longest in WMass. To review the center as a whole: any person who gives the NEDGC a 'D' to counter other votes, is grading out of personal pettiness and quite frankly is a clown, so allow me to give a counter perspective. This place is the epicenter of disc golf in WMass and well worth the $10 of play, or $100 membership and here's why: You have UNLIMITED rounds on two private, vastly different, ever evolving, well maintained, 12,000+ ft of professional quality courses, operated by very friendly and passionate people. On top of that they have two driving range pads with a basket plus 5 or 6 putting baskets. I'm not sure why they don't advertise it, but they also have a mini disc course and additional standard baskets tucked away in the woods which can be used to practice your midrange game before hitting the course. They have a pro shop with limited seasonal weekend hours, a portable toilet that is always immaculately clean and picnic and seat benches in the main area. They also host league nights and pro/am tournaments. Some gripes are completely false, there are permanent signs, the tees are always clear and absolutely safe in any weather condition and a stream runs through both courses which counts as a unique feature in my book. It's also ridiculous to penalize any course when comparing it to Maple Hill. Keep up the great work!

One of my favorite courses to play as a casual player. Mostly wooded with some field holes as well as two layouts. The longer red layout plays par at around an 860 rating while the shorter green layout shoots roughly 775 for par. Highly recommended to bring newer players here. Some of these reviews claiming no permanent signage or no pro shops are just straight up lies. They have wooden, painted signs for every single hole on both courses for both layouts.

One of my favorite courses to play as a casual player. Mostly wooded with some field holes as well as two layouts. The longer red layout plays par at around an 860 rating while the shorter green layout shoots roughly 775 for par. Highly recommended to bring newer players here.

Some of these reviews claiming no permanent signage or no pro shops are just straight up lies. They have wooden, painted signs for every single hole on both courses for both layouts. There's two shed structures on site and a porta-potty that is replaced regularly.

As far as the teepads, I've never personally slipped on the turf; however, there are some tees (especially on the green layout) that are cut short or have become lumpy over the past few years. Around springtime the mud on hole 7 can be bad and the teepad for hole 8 needs some irrigation.

And yes, you do have to pay to play here; it's not a charity. And YES, you should pay BEFORE your round.
