Director of Facilities

GreatHorse History

We love golf but dislike the attitude at most clubs. That's why we built GreatHorse around the idea of like-minded members enjoying a lifestyle club without the stuffiness of traditional clubs. GreatHorse is a private club in Hampden, Massachusetts, where everyone will feel completely at home in our opulent mountain retreat. Our members enjoy world-class golf and unparalleled clubhouse amenities such as the outdoor pool, private spa, fitness center, golf simulators, tennis courts, and the restaurant and bar. It's different at GreatHorse.

The Story Behind the Name

As one of the most sought-after breeders in the nation, the Antonacci family has been synonymous with racing greatness and integrity for over 50 years. Their involvement as owners and breeders in five Hambletonian Champions with some of the greatest racehorses the sport has ever laid eyes upon makes them well-known on harness racing's biggest stages. To reflect this proud history, they selected GreatHorse, English for "Gran Cavallo," the title of Leonardo Da Vinci's magnificent horse statue.
