*** Save Your Money, Go somewhere Else***

Pace of Play was almost unbearable, greens where as slow as I’ve ever played on any course not just this one, most frustrating thing was golf cart sensors kept making me reverse even when I was on the kart path, my patience level could barely allow for me to make it past the 9th before I had to throw in the towel, I’ve been coming here for a few years, honestly probably my last trip. (Also credit card machine for kart girl was down and interior snack bar was closed) Looks nice in pictures and from a far but when it comes down to it I would give what I once would consider 8-10 now a 3-4 out of 10.

Greens

The course was in good shape with the exception of the greens and a few Tee Boxes. There us a problem with some crabgrass like grass on the greens that affect the roll of putts. Some tee boxes had little grass. Nonetheless, the course us playable and the staff accommodating. Paid $60 fir the round which is reasonable. But would love to see it as it was inn2019.

Great layout

This course has some photo worthy holes, really well designed for the terrain. Some of the fairways had bare spots, but most were good. Not sure how long the course has been open for the season. Greens were really slow. Rough was dense and the fairways don't hold the ball well on some holes, so you have to drive the ball in the perfect spot or end up in the rough. Really enjoyed it and will come back if we're ever in the area again. White tees (6100 yds) are deceptively longer due to several holes with doglegs that don't require driver or 3 wood off the tee but leave you with 170+ into the green.

Major disappointment

I always looked forward to playing this course a few times each year as it is (was) one of my favorite courses in Connecticut. I had not played in a few years and boy did the course conditions deteriorate. Great layout but greens were terrible. T boxes were beat up. Fairways were OK for the most part. When I checked in they said they were raising the price come memorial day. I paid $60. I wouldn’t pay $35 to play that course. So unfortunate for such a beautiful lay out in such a beautiful area

Major disappointment

This course used to be primo. Probably one of my favorite in the state of Connecticut. Greens were horrible, Tee boxes were beat up. Pace of play was awful. I wouldn’t pay $40 for this course let alone $60. They’re gonna increase the greens fees Memorial Day? Keep it. Not coming back

Conditions Improving

Tees and fairways were ok, greens, especially on the front 9 still have a ways to go. Would wait till July to play again.

It’s in really rough shape

The course is in very rough shape. The greens were absolutely terrible. The pace of play was also slow going since they had some kind of scramble going tees off late and it was slow going. I’ve played here before and loved it, today not so much. Hopefully they can get it back to the beautiful course it once was
