Thanks for having us E.J.!

I was part of The Safari Club's opening round at Tekoa and I have to say that it was in great shape! The greens had been just plugged but they were fast and true. The fairways were cut perfectly and we never looked for a better lie.

The staff was pleasant, the food was good and prices right so why wouldn't you get a group to play there?

This is one of our hidden gems in Western Mass so don't miss your chance to play Tekoa if you get the chance!

Comfortable course to play

Played this past Wednesday with the Safari Club. Had a great time, great group, great course and great friends. Our group was so large, over 100 that a lunch buffet was provided for us for a small price. I love Donald Ross courses and truly enjoy Tekoa. The condition of the course was great and the weather couldn't have been better. I all be back to play again. This was our destination from work once a year and my office also enjoyed it.

A Course to Keep in Mind

I had a great day with the Safari Club on Wednesday at Tekoa. I played pretty badly, but it was impossible not to have a wonderful time with good company, beautiful weather and a very well laid out and well-maintained track. At least a few holes give a view of the Westfield River and several others allow sights of the lower Berkshires. The course itself is a great blend of scenic straight and dogleg fairways, with plenty of challenges, but still a very fair course.
Staff in the pro shop and 19th hole are friendly and helpful. It's a great place to spend a day of golf.

Do you like feeling welcomed?

The Safari Club journeyed to Tekoa for its season opener yesterday. They do so every year, as well as finishing off their season at the same venue.

It's not surprising they chose this course to play twice each year. Great layout, great conditions, great food and an extremely pleasant and courteous staff make this course a FIVE STAR value know matter how you look at it.

Always in great condition.

The Safari Club of Golf is a great group of golfers that I play with as much as possible. Our season opener was at Tekoa Country Club on May 18th 2016. The course was in midseason shape, probably due to the very mild winter in New England. The fairways are in great shape, The greens are large and moderately fast, and were putting very true. Pro EJ Altobello was gracious and very accommodating to our group as usual, and a good time was had by all. Kudos to the kitchen staff and bartenders, for the good food and cold beer!

Enjoyable Course

Played this yesterday with the Safari Club. Very nice and fair course. Conditions were very good for this time of year. Tee boxes and fairways were excellent. Greens were recently aerated and top-dressed, but still putted well--allbeit a little slow. Would definitely play again.

Safri Club Outing

After playing this course last week, I went back again today with the Safari Club (a great golf organization). I again thoroughly enjoyed the golf course, the people and the friends I've made with the Safari club. Tekoa is a great place to play an enjoyable round of golf.

Wide open

Just played with the Safari Club. Everything was ready for us when we got there. Course was in good shape. Greens were a bit slow because they had sanded them. The meal could have been better for the price. Other then that I had a good time.

really wanted to like this course

It is a nice course, but that's about all the nice things I can say about it. We paid a fairly steep price of $50 and right off the bat the pro shop worker was less than personable. No big deal. We were constantly waiting behind the groups in front of us which slowed down the pace of play to a crawl. It was mid morning and we were hungry for a snack but it became clear to us that there was no snack cart like there is at many other lesser priced courses. We figured we'd finish the front 9 and get lunch only to find out that there was no food being served that day. We also had to deal with a cart with a non-working brake which meant we had to be strategic about parking so it didn't roll.. We were very surprised about our experience considering the price to play. We are weekly players and sometimes a few times a week. We didn't feel it was worth our $50 each and in all likelihood we won't be going back

A fine challenging course!

The course is in very good condition for the fall. THe greens are extremely fast with a lot of slope and undulation - not easty to read, and when the sun is out, difficult to hold. The turf everywhere is in excellent shape. Play was a bit slow, due to a fair amount of "putting to the last put" the groups in front of us, which seemed to be long-standing members.

Well maintained, nice greens

As in playing a new course, there are always decisions to be made on club selection, where to target, etc. Course layout was good, greens were great (in my opinion). I was a 4.5 and lost a chunk of distance, as well as using hybrids, which have no ball action on green...they bound. Not much I could do. Greens rolled true. Nice job. J

Great Value

Two couples played on a very hot day. The course was not busy at all. The greens were very good, the rough is cut to allow quick play. The few traps are well maintained. We arrived early and were able to go out at once, we stopped for a sandwich that we took out on the back nine. the food was excellent, the staff accommodating and naturally friendly. we got all this for $86 for a foursome and $40 for lunch tip included.
