Shephard Hills Golf Course - Roxbury

I played twice here over a wedding weekend. For each round I only had time to play nine and I walked once and rode the other. I got a warning about walking the course and it was a challenging walk. Mainly the 1st and 7th holes are pretty much straight up. Only walk it you want a serious cardio experience. The amount of uphill slope also makes these holes very challenging.I found the course to be in excellent shape and loved the condition of the greens playing firm and true, but relatively friendly. Most of the holes are pretty straight forward except for 2 and 3, which you should take note of after teeing off at 1. They have extreme dog legs and require a precise tee shot to have a look at the green.For one of my rounds my friends needed clubs and they had rentals. They allowed us to mix and match taking “whatever we needed”. It was perfectly adequate for our situation.Overall, the course takes great advantage of the landscape and has the laid back attitude of many other courses I’ve played in the area.

Lovely 9 hole course nestled in the Adirondacks. Each hole offers some form of vertical challenge. Well kept course. Seasonal restaurant on site.

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. They often offer live music and the view of the mountains is spectacular!

Very poor conditions. Maybe it was a bad time of the year as we are going through a heat wave

Gorgeous hidden gem of a course. Friendly staff, and great food after the round at Ate O Ate.
