Good pace, grass is beat up badly

Worst grass I’ve played on this year. I know it’s hot but the other locals have much better fairway/green conditions

THE ROUGH

The rough on the course is inconsistent and to high for a municipal course with the ability of the players that play here. The fringes are not wide enough, the rough around the greens and alongside the fairways are much too long for the average people that play here, it is anywhere from 3 to 4 inches high. I hit a ball in the rough on 18 the other day after it was just cut and it took three of us to finally find it but only after we found 3 other balls. We have asked many times to have the rough down to anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 inches so that players can find their balls and not lose it or slow up play. Players want to enjoy themselves and not look for balls or take so long to play.

Putter

Play was quick and the course was in good shape. The traps needed work and some tee boxes. Overall a good day.

Always a good deal.

The course is fair, and offers a nice variety. Very walkable, with not as up/down hill as some other courses. For the midweek deals they offer, and location close to the highway, it’s a nice place and easy to get to from anywhere in central CT.

Beautiful Day...Beautiful Course!

Of all the courses I've played i would say this is the most enjoyable to walk! You won't kill yourself while getting some exercise and crafting your golf skills! This course does have some drainage issues in a few areas of the fairways. However, this is the only negative. Tee boxes and greens were in great shape and rolling true and the layout of the course is fantastic. All that and done in 4 hours. What a bargain. .i'll be back!

Good layout and good value

We were struggling to find a spot to play on a Saturday. Tee time for this course popped up so we jumped on it. I was pleased that we were able to tee off a little earlier than scheduled. We played the front 9. The pace was a bit slower but the course was packed. Good layout for the course, though the track was a bit wet. Overall the course is a good value and challenging enough to come back and play again.
