The Lake of Isles North course at foxwoods casino is always voted one of the top 5 best courses in Connecticut. I can see why. For April 22 the conditions were amazing, the course survived the winter very well. Well maintained tee boxes, fairways, rough, with a nice color to them. Bunkers had plenty of sand and were raked with manicured edges. Greens have been aerated, i believe it was some time last week the pro shop said. Greens are sand filled and were playing very receptive and on the slow side but we did just get a fair amount of rain last week. That being said the course drains very well, there were hardly any wet spots anywhere. We played the Gold tees, they were the furthest back set of tees they have out and with the 15-20mph gusts it was a great test of golf. The layout appeals to all types of game with a terrific mix of holes. Water in play on plenty of them but the placement of fairway and greenside bunkers are excellent. Use the yardage book they provide for you, it comes in handy! A great mix of tee shots that require forced carries, favor a cut, favor a draw, risk/reward par 5s. Had the course to ourselves and the pace of play was whatever we desired. Stopped for food at the turn, the clubhouse restaurant is delicious. Pleasant girls in the beverage cart who came around frequently.

The staff was tremendous from the valet bag drop to the pro shop to the nice gentleman wiping our clubs down after the round. Thats what makes this destination that much more special then the rest.
If you havent played here yet, you dont know what youre missing.

Early season, great conditions and for only $95, i dont see a better value.

I grew up playing this course. I have hundreds of rounds here. Since the renovations, this course has been the best track for the money. The grounds crew have truly made it a gem in my backyard. Having said that, they're starting to slack a little bit. Cart paths are very beat up. It rained Saturday night and I teed off about 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Bunkers were not raked, thankfully I only found one of them. Some of the greens were not cut, still had the morning dew on them. Some of them weren't rolled so the first couple groups going through chewed up the turf around the hole with spike marks. There were some 5-somes out there but pace of play was still good, given the heat yesterday not many played. Rough is still luscious fairways still nice, still can't beat it for the price compared to others. But that doesn't mean you should slack on your upkeep. Still love my old home course!

After 12 noon its $37 for 18 and a cart. However it gets very slow pace after 8am and all the "all-stars" get out there. Course is in phenomenal shape, nkce layout and greens are very quick.
