Huston we have a problem

Fox hopyard used to be one of my favorite courses in CT. But they must have fallen on very hard times. Tee boxes need a makeover. Greens are well destroyed. Half the fairways look like someone has been off road big on them.

This is another CT course that will fail due to the hostile economic conditions of CT

Great course, better price $49

My group got a great Saturday evening price $49. The course was beautiful other than a handful of tee boxes. Pace was great with no pressure from in front or behind.

A Yearly Must Play

Not many courses over an hour away that are on my yearly list, but Fox Hopyard will forever be one of them. The staff, grounds, conditions and amenities are second to none. Add in Free range balls plus a great putting and wedge practice area, and you got yourself a day. Stop by On the Rocks for some food or drink after, bartenders are great! Book yourself a round, you won’t be disappointed

Spring Training

Just beginning golf again in CT. now that winter is gone. Course was in decent shape considering the grass really hasn't started to grow yet. Greens were fast if you were above the hole. You couldn't really get a true roll because of recent aeration.

Always an enjoyable round of golf

This is my first round of golf this year playing at Fox Hopyard Golf Course. It was a rainy day but still had a nice round of golf. It was a “Hot Deal” and morning tee time. We were pleasantly greeted by the cart attendant at the bag drop off point, and checked in at the Pro Shop. The Pro Shop representative was pleasant and accommodating. The course was in great shape for early Spring. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good condition. The bunkers were recently raked and the golf cart was clean and super comfortable. My wife and I finished our round in 3 hours.

Got expensive to play

I have enjoyed playing this course in the past. It has a great layout and kept in great shape. This year they seemed to have adopted a new pricing policy. They charge top dollar for off season rates. They no longer offer "Hot Deal" value rates. Maybe they're pressuring you to buy a Fox Pass card. That allows you to play for $75., which is still way above their Hot Deal rates from last year.
