Skungamaug River Golf Club

The course was a mud pit with balls plugging in some fairways. The greens were shaggy, rough more like mud, and the course layout is mediocre.

I booked on line through GolfNow for a tee time for 2 players my husband is still learning to play the pro pushed us into a 4 some which I didn’t book and was rude and refused to listen to my reasoning and said he’d over booked and they were very busy and we have to play as a 4 some or leave without a refund there were not that many players there they were not that busy and I didn’t see the reason to force us into a 4 some the course was covered in leaves and the same muddy hazards in the fairways that were there 2, and 4 and 6 weeks ago had grown larger and were not repaired we will not ever return there to golf and I do not recommend this course

This course is always fun to play. It’s not Augusta National, but it’s got a challenging little layout that is harder than it looks. You have to think your way around and choose your clubs wisely. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Good guys.
It was pretty wet the day I played, but that’s to be expected after all the rain this summer. The greens were in fantastic shape, but were a tad slow. Every time I play here I see some minor improvement. The restaurant and pro shop remind me of being at camp. Rustic, plain and modest. Play the course to have fun and enjoy being surrounded by nature. Snobs need not apply.

Unusual course that I will play occasionally. The course had our reservation, but not not have carts available for us when we got there.

Nice course...rolling topography...greens & tees & traps in great condition. Fairways a little sparse & dry.

First time here!
Two groups of walkers let my threesome on wheels play through. Saved us from a 5+ hour round. Awesome folks here!

The hole on the back nine with the big tree splitting the upper and lower fairway needs to be redone. (#15). We had 2 awesome drives end up nearly unplayable on the right slope of the top fairway.

All in all , we had a blast and WILL BE BACK!!!

After some of the reviews I had read I was not sure that going there was a good choice. But so glad we decided to play that course. The course was in great condition, fairways were impeccable,greens were interesting but fair, staff was very friendly and helpful, and the layout a pure joy. The last couple of holes are just a challenge for your game but so scenic it was a true pleasure. Go and play this course amazing rates, they deserve to have more golfers discover and enjoy this course. Thanks for a great round of golf

I arrived at the course at 10:30 a.m.for my tee time at 10:42 a.m. and the group I was going to end up playing with was already out on the course playing the first hole. Which caused me to miss even getting a score for the very first hole. If a tee time is at 10:42 a.m. then it’s at 10:42 a.m. plain and simple. I don’t care if it was extra busy that day. I would understand if I was late but I was early.

Rural little country course. Slow play we were paired with a guy and gal that were beginners but nice people. Pace destroyed our games but great weather on a Sunday afternoon and a $20 greens fee soothed our egos. Give it a chance, nice family owned "country" course.

Beautiful course with friendly staff and players. Well kept and nice challenging holes.

This course is expensive if we compare with other course in the same area. The course has a good challenge.

It was obvious that they do not like people who use GOLF NOW! we were early , we asked if we could go out and he said no you have to wait till the right time. But no one was around? he mentioend that You will be a 4 some. Told him that we were beginners and didnt want to ruin anyone elses game. he said you wont. 4 some.He was not cooperative and felt like he hated golf now players. Do not go if you purchase from golf now, especially if you want to play solo or a twosome. because you wont. And how about getting new carts. it seems the newer carts go to members, everyone esle gets the 1980s carts. Not impressed sorry to say. Good luck

The weather was perfect but the course was in bad shape, hopefully due to spring conditions. Driving on the fairways was like running an off-road obstacle course. They were full of moguls, lumps, bumps and tree roots. And the dirt/gravel/wood chip cart paths were no better. They were potholed and full of large stones. Our golf cart suspension really got a workout.

As for the course itself, it can be very challenging with quite a few funky holes and others that will test your courage, skills, shot making and club selection.

The staff was very pleasant especially Suzy in the bar who gave me a lesson in beer selection. The pro shop attendant also helped an average golfer play the first hole. A cross fairway stream 200 yards off the white tees is tempting to carry but he advised laying up to 180-190 yards which I did but my partner didn't and ended up wet.

I will be back in a few months to see if they lumps and bumps were just frost heaves and the cart paths were smoothed out.

We had an excellent time. It is so cool that you come back to the clubhouse 4 times....6th/9th/12th/18th.
There is no other course that I know of with that.
Kathy and I love coming here...she loves it here...woodsy/country-like/stonewalls/real old Ct.
I have been playing here for over 20 yrs. The pro is excellent and his staff is welcoming. We ended up playing with a couple from Boston and had a blast with them.

Thanks again Skungamaug.
