Umass Orchard Hill

Well kept, fun, some nasty tunnel fairways.

Course needs some TLC Fun light challenge.

Nice course but very overgrown off the beaten path

Needs better signage and tons of poison ivy in the rough. If you don’t care about that it’s a fun layout

Neat course with some great shots. Feels like the space could be easily utilized for an 18 hole course if rearranged a bit. Would be a 4+ star course with a little TLC. The natural teepads are a little rough and the signage could use some help. Getting from hole 6 to 7 (and finding 8 teepad for that matter) was pretty difficult even with UDisc. Lots of potential here and a beautiful space overall.

First three holes are well maintained and relatively open fairway shots. 4-9 get a little jungle-ish and need to be mowed. Pulled off 4 ticks so beware in the long grass.

Great course. The map should be updated for Hole 9, otherwise we loved it.

I enjoyed the course. Orchard Hill has shots of a few different shapes, uphill/downhill throws, and short/long distances. The course could use some signs to lead players to hole one, and some directions to tee pads after each basket.

What tees? 🤣 Dirt tees, occasionally marked with signs. Feels like you’re playing on a half-assed course on a college campus. Watch out for poison ivy, prickers and ticks. It’s an ok course if you can’t go elsewhere.

Absolutely brutal. Amherst could do way better by just actually having T Boxes and signage. Highly suggest never playing this course unless if you want to be disappointed. F

Te boxes are located fast from the last hole. Course could could fit more holes if it were tightened up.

Great 9 hill plays through the beautiful fields on campus

Not much signage. Would’ve been lost if I didn’t have the UDisc map to help

Course design is a fun little technical course. However, maintenance leaves a lot to be asked for. The rough is THICK and filled with poison ivy. Many holes are missing signs or have signs knocked over. There is limited to no signage between holes. No T-Pads, just wood chip/mulch piles to throw from that don’t offer great footing. Course is free so it is what it is. Could be a lot of fun if it got fixed up a little. As it is it’s a fun course until you get a bad tree kick or shank off the T.

Good course overall. Rough is very rough. Hole 9 tee is down the hill in the open.

Decent course for a short round. Rough is incredibly thick and finding discs is near impossible some places. Field next to the basket on hole 4 is just a huge swath of poison ivy, do not go in there. All in all its nothing special but it's a fun 9 hole

Underrated based on the comments. Diverse "links" style course with very thick rough, keep it on the fairway even if it means discing down. No pads, good signage

Good for a winter round

Needs better teepad footing. Fairway maintenance is good. Baskets are good.

I definitely rate this course a solid 3.5. I love it dearly as I've been playing it for years and it's close to where I live and makes for a great relatively quick 9-hole without being too easy or too short. It's playing quite nicely right now as there are no leaves on the trees and no poison ivy and no new thorns here in February. I just can't give it a four without it having better uniform tea pads. There are clear tee spots but they are mulched zones
