Forest Park Country Club, a 9 hole relic in western Massachusetts

Forest Park Country Club

Forest Park CC is a 9 hole located 15 miles north of Pittsfield in the small community of Adams in the shadow of Mt. Greylock.

The area around Pittsfield offers 6 excellent public access courses within a 30 mile radius as we discovered from our Massachusetts guide including Taconic, Wahconah, and Greenock to name a few. This provides a legitimate golf destination…..albeit for a somewhat short season

This classic New England parkland design is by one of the early masters, some would say founders, of United States golf course architecture, Alex Findlay. The layout features several elevated tee boxes with significant elevation changes. It moves over rolling tree lined fairways with 11 sand bunkers defending the small oval greens. It’s a short, 5,183 yards, 65.9/118 course/slope ratings, par of 34 off the tips.
