Pete Dye's Public CT Masterpiece

Had an absolute blast playing Wintonbury Hills! From this first hole you can tell this is another classic Pete Dye design (and fun fact is the only public Pete Dye course in CT).

Had an 11AM tee time and unfortunately did not arrive in time to use the range (which is available, but a bit of a hike from the pro shop). Staff was very friendly and has a nice golf shop, but was a little bummed the restaurant doesn't open till 11 so didn't have a chance for a snack before hand. Additionally, at this time the course has no on course water stations or places in the shop to fill up bottles so come prepared or be forced to pay for a bottle (did have a cart girl for on course purchases).

The course overall is in amazing shape. Tee to green one of the best kept courses I have played in CT. As a mid-handicapper I felt like the layout is challenging, but fair and allows you to play a variety of shots throughout the day. I chose to walk the course with a push cart and felt like it was very manageable. Most holes are relatively close to each other and while there are some hills, nothing felt daunting.

For a course of this caliber $65 to walk for a "weekend" rate felt extremely reasonable. This has to be one of the best priced courses in CT for the price. 100% would recommend this to any CT local or visitor of the state.

There’s Wide Open and then there’s WIDE OPEN

It’s a struggle to lose a ball on this exceptionally well maintained inland links course. Pretty much any ball off the Par 4 and Par 5 holes will find a fairway, although maybe not the one you were aiming for. The course design is not particularly interesting, but the greens are lightening fast, the vistas are great, and the staff is first rate.

Nice Course

Very nice course. Forgiving tee's. great GPS carts. Be advised the carts shut down if you go into the rough, they are fairway and path only. Good food. Can be slow if you get behind one of the leagues but that is the same for every golf course.

Enjoyed the day

Weather was a bit overcast with some showers but the course was in great condition. It wasn't overly crowded due to the weather but we played in under 4 hours walking. Would recommend if you are in the area.

Good Course Bad Service.

My son used my account and booked a tee time for himself this past weekend. He had played during the week and payed $25 for the Junior rate since he's a junior. He then called during the week when he saw he could play to make sure he'd get the Junior rate on the weekend. The lady said he would pay $25 to walk 18 on Saturday since he's a junior. He then booked the tee time. He shows up and they said there's no junior rate. He explained how he called ahead and spoke with someone who told him there was. They said they would give him the Junior Rate but then decided otherwise and charged him $65 to Walk 18. I am disappointed in the service he received. He likes the course but not the price. Much better deals somewhere else. He will be taking his business there. $65 to Walk for a Junior seems a way too pricy when he called ahead to make sure thats what theyd charge him. He would have never booked it if it was $65.

Great course

Great from the moment I walked into the pro shop, greeted immediately by two friendly pro shop workers. For a Saturday it was busy but pace of play was great, just over 4 hours. Tough greens - which we were told about at check in. But great conditions throughout. Will play again

Great Course

I don't usually play this course but when I get the time to get out here I always enjoy it. The course was in great condition. The greens were in good condition and the fairways were great too. One thing about this course is that the tough is very thick. Other than that the course was amazing while a little slow due to the group in front of us we still finished in about 4 hours. Good course and if I was a bit closer I'd come here all the time. Well worth it.

Wintonbury

A very cold and wet day was still enjoyable. Very few people out so the round was pretty quick even though it was cart path only.

Very nice course

Enjoyable, scenic, real good golf. Don't recommend playing if cart path only rules are in effect. My cart was inoperable while all four wheels were on path.

Disappointed

I had higher expectations for the condition of the golf course. Greens were super slower and seem to be very slow come back from an early season aeration. Probably wont be back anytime soon.
