Lovely course
The Black course is challenging, but yet the wide fairways and good course management, allows you to score well. There are places where you can’t see where you will be hitting! The condition of the course was generally good in spite of rains. The starter was very friendly.
Great place
Always in good shape, many improvements being made

Terribly Maintained
They desperately need someone to start caring about the quality of this course. Every single area had grass that was way too long, including the greens and fringes. Where the grass wasn't too long was only that way because there was no grass! Weeds, dirt, divots, and more make playing here a nightmare. It's a shame because the back 9 is actually a very nice and picturesque layout.

Staff friendliness
Got there a bit early and saw the black course was backed up and slow, saw no one on the red and asked the starter if we could play the red course, he seemed upset that we would request this and developed an attitude about our request, I’ve been playing this course for over 30 years and after that confrontation I’m ready to look elsewhere !!. It’s too bad one person can leave you with such a bad experience!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, kovachrobert. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course thanks you!
Attitude adjustment.
Pretty layout. Especially the Black course. Conditions were great early in the year but steadily downhill. Most of the staff is very pleasant but a particular starter needs counseling. Rude, condescending, and just bad at his job. Pretty easy job to do well and it takes a lot of effort to be terrible at it. Sad.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, umich. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Great value
Well kept greens, great scenic track really captures some of CT’s hilly and challenging land. Pace can get slow on busy weekends, but after playing both the Red and Black course, I’ll be coming back regularly
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, trevszn! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course.
Tees and Greens need attention
Tee boxes are well worn and greens do not roll true.
