Detailed description

Pontoosuc Lake Country Club is a public golf course located on the western side of Pontoosuc Lake in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.

The original course was built by Freeman Miller on what was originally Pete Hodecker's farm sometime in the 1920's. In 1935 it was purchased by a young golf pro from Stockbridge Country Club named Charles 'Chick' Moxon and Incorporated as Pontoosuc Lake Country Club, Inc. With some input from golf architect A. W. Tillinghast and followed by a complete re-design by Wayne Stiles in 1939, the course became what it is today.

The most obvious features of the course are the simple views of the mountains, the aged and majestic oak, maple, and pine trees, and the rolling hills that the course sits on. The less obvious challenges are the elevation changes that occur with play, the size of the greens ranging from 3,000 to 7,500 square feet, and the overall layout of the course that make for an enjoyable round of golf.
