Black Course Challenge
Always like playing the Black course. A little more challenging than the Red.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, John5038019. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course thanks you!
Great Course but questionable practices
The course itself is very nice and well kept. Nobody in my group would complain about the course maintenance, but would complain about the pace of play for a twilight tee time. Considering it gets dark around 5 now, a tee time at 3:12 should comfortably get you through 7-8 holes, but because of the no carts after 3 rule, we were stuck behind some very slow players who were struggling to walk the course. We were trying to race in order to finish as many holes as we could, but each time we finished a hole the next group was just getting to the tee box of the next hole, so we only got 6 holes in in 2 hours when the pace of play should have been faster than usual.
u314159294935, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course.
Fairchild Wheeler BLACK course, not RED.
Let's be honest.......it's not incredibly well-groomed or in phenomenal shape, but it shouldn't be! After all, it's a municipal golf course, but it's a course with a nice layout,
some challenging holes and it's priced appropriately.
What more could you really want, or expect?

Can’t beat it
For the price you cannot beat this two course layout! Each course has its challenges all while providing scenic views! Thankful for this gem.

Great layout, great scenery
I brought my friend and my son to play the Black course for the first time. A perfect fall day and the course was in wonderful shape. I can only imagine how beautiful the foliage around the course will look like in a few weeks.
Course was easy to follow and provided a variety of shots (some blind, some dog legs, some uphill, some downhill).
The only downside was the greens seemed a little slow and bumpy.
I would love to come back and play it again.

Nice course , decent fairways, rough was ok
They are asking too much for cart rentals $17 per player and no gps, too high for what you get, most places are $10-$12 per player for carts, but I would go back for the convience!, I guess the city of Bridgeport could care less about golfers!!!
Hi, kovachrobert. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
The Wheel - a solid neighborhood course
The staff could not have been better and was very focused on our safety.
The greens were fuzzy but in good condition.
The fairways were in good shape given the amount of play the course gets.
Thank you for your review, jlparisi58. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good Golf Course
Was pleasantly surprised. Liked the layout, fairways were decent, greens slower than expected. Traps actually had soft sand... Pins did not have sponge fillers to mitigate COVID-19 transmission. Need to improve hole signage on Black from 9th hole to the 10th.

Played in the middle of the week, in the middle of the day and it was still under four hours. Nice course. Well worth the money. Nice snack bar.

Great layout
The course at this time is laid out very well, pin placement has been challenging and fun. The greens are awful however. Not well cared for and bumpy.

Fairchild Wheeler is lucky to have a decently kept course in the black, so kudos to the maintenance staff for fairways and solid greens. However, the Pro Shop staff here is ridiculously unprofessional. Consisting of several different people handling transactions, I have heard of and witnessed extremely contentious encounters where staff is blatantly rude to paying customers for absolutely no good reason; there is no desire to work with customers or display any hospitality whatsoever, and was seen yet again this weekend. This is clearly a reflection of the management, who has also shown they don’t want to be bothered with and leave these situations/decisions to inexperienced staff. I have heard similar experiences from many others that have played here and this is enough to not return to the course.
