Sous Chef

GreatHorse is a distinguished private lifestyle club located in Hampden, Massachusetts. Established as an alternative to traditional golf clubs, GreatHorse was built around a community of like-minded members who appreciate the game of golf but prefer a more welcoming and less formal atmosphere. The club offers its members an exceptional experience with world-class golf alongside outstanding clubhouse amenities including an outdoor pool, private spa, fitness center, tennis courts, golf simulators, and a restaurant and bar. The ambiance at GreatHorse is that of a lavish mountain retreat where all members can feel completely at home, setting it apart from other country clubs and golf establishments. The name "GreatHorse" holds a rich heritage tied to the Antonacci family, renowned breeders linked to harness racing greatness for over fifty years. The family’s legacy includes involvement with five Hambletonian Champions, symbolizing integrity and excellence in the sport. The club's name is inspired by the English term for "Gran Cavallo," Leonardo Da Vinci’s magnificent horse statue, reflecting a proud history of dedication to excellence and tradition.
