Stephanie takes a swing at Greylock Glen where the golf course once existed.  “The eighteen-hole, 6,400-yard golf course would be built by Cornish-Robinson Associates of Amherst and feature spectacular views of Mount Greylock. At the hotel, guests would enjoy indoor tennis courts, cocktail lounges, a health club and an indoor pool. Outside, there would be polo, horseback riding, biking, cross-country skiing, fishing and hiking, to be in operation by 1975. The cost exceeded expectations. More problems started to develop in July 1974, when Robert Trent Jones, the design firm for the golf course, filed a suit in violation of the design copyright. It declared a breach of contract, as another firm, Cornish-Robinson, was using the former’s plans to build the course…..ballooning out of control, the hotel costs had skyrocketed to $23 million in August 1974.” From the Lost Ski Areas of the Berkshires Book by Jeremy Davis….one of my favorites!
