Yes, good course. Reasonable green fees. Too bad it's so hard to get to. I played the sister course in FL. It actually has elevation chsnges. It actually lets you walk. In cart crazy FL. I really hate Florida's mandatory carts everywhere.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Fox Hopyard in CT is a very nice course.  Similar to Crumpin but slightly easier.  Not quite as long.  Good variety of holes, in good shape. semi private as they have a pretty solid contingent of private members.  Would highly recommend it if you are in area.  Slightly more expensive than Crumpin. I've played it about 10 times. Water very much in play on 7 holes.

It is a pretty nice course, I like the front side a lot better.  The back side gets a little too narrow and greens get too small.  I think each side was designed by a different person.  One of the best public courses in MA is The Ranch Golf Club out in Southwick.  Give that course a try if your headed out to western MA at all.  It is definitely worth the trip.

    • Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times. 
    • I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
    • Day 632 - 2026-06-26 Stayed after to do some Skillest lessons and get some practice in.
    • Day 6  (26 Jun 26) - Played 18 today in the Friday men's group shootout.  Would love to say it was an awesome round, but it wasn't  - had a tough day with the putter (especially on the front - short putts missing left or right or just short - just could not get a feel for the greens).
