Fair weather
Walked

Defintatley now a playable course

It's May 5th, the weather is unusually cold and breezy . We played under spring conditions: wet fairways (rain last few days), bare spots on the fairways and tee boxes and greens just growing in. We were not expecting perfect conditions this early in the season. It was still a good day for golf and the course was very playable.

We started 15 minutes before our tee time (weather was iffy), walked 18 for $20 (senior rate) and finished well under 4 hours. I recommend this course for walking as it is basically flat. The course is just coming back from winter. Reseeding and fertilizing is noticeable. Winter debris has been picked up, fairways and rough have been mowed.

No complaints but two small suggestions. A sign would be helpful on the 12th tee box stating the distance to clear the right dogleg. Also, directions from the 15th green to the 16th tee box. Many newbies head for the 18th tee.

Staff was terrific and pro shop has been revamped.

I'd definitely say this course has turned the corner, after many years of miss-management, and is well on it's way back to being a very good course to play. It's a fun course that I recommend for beginners, juniors/seniors, ladies, walkers, practice rounds, a quick 9 holes, leagues, locals and as a confidence builder.

I was happy to get out. It was a good round of golf.

Take a little pride in cleaning up the course

I understand it was still winter in Connecticut when I played the course, so just to get out and play is sort of a bonus. It had also rained hard about 5 days before I played. However, there were literally over 10,000 pine cones out there and plenty of branches all over the place. Even if it is still too wet to send any large equipment out there, don't tell me you can't send 1 or 2 guys out there with a backpack blower and a rake and a utility cart to pick them up.

Happily surprised

Between the snow melting and the rain that followed for the previous week straight, I was happy to see the course was even open. There were definitely some wet spots, but the greens were in good shape. I was just happy to be out on a beautiful day in March. Thank you.
