Very enjoyable!

The Vue is an improving course. The fairways and greens are in great shape after years of improvements. The other aspects of the course still show signs of construction but I love seeing the progress and I’m confident it will keep improving. The cart paths will be the last to get fixed up. But the golf is great and I had an enjoyable early morning round.

Move course in the hills

Played this course for the first time and decided to walk it. The front nine was not a bad walk. The layout was such that you were mostly walking down hill until the ninth hole. The back on the other hand was a very tough walk. Luckily I had a pull cart, can’t imagine trying to carry my clubs on the back. The course was in good shape and the greens were mostly fast. The back has some holes I consider unfair because if you put the ball in the fairway you should be rewarded instead of being punished due to extreme side slope. Probably a local knowledge thing! The clubhouse is in the middle of a major renovation so amenities wise right now don’t expect much. The driving range is also being renovated so stop at a range before you get there if you want to warm up. I would play the course again but I would definitely get a cart to play the back nine!!!

Complete remodel- Great New Feel

This golf course has been under continuous renovation and has improved tremendously. The entire course conditions have improved so much that I prefer to play here most days of the week. Not only that but when you golf, the entire course staff take the time to get to know you and genuinely, they care about their customers. If something comes up, I call the staff and cancel last second, they understand. No golf now fees or etc. Great club house food and drinks. No complaints at all.

If you want to golf at a family friendly and also competitive environment , I fully recommend Laurel View Golf Course.

BEAUTIFUL COURSE! GUARANTEED.

Disappointing round

When we arrived for our tee time we were told that because of a tournament we would not be able to start on the first tee. We were transported to the 12th hole to begin our round. Then when we completed 16 holes another tournament was taking place and there would be a long wait at the 10th tee. The staff were very accommodating but the club should not have sold a tee time if they knew they could not permit a normal round.

Laurel View is on the move!

I love playing Laurel View, or the Vue, as it now seems to be called! 5 stars across the board is a high rating, and there are areas in need of improvement: sand traps, cart paths… But when one sees how diligently the owners/developers are working to make this a top flight facility credit needs to be given, even if in advance! Fairways, greens and tee boxes are in great shape! Keep at it, Vue!

Work in progress

A lot of work has been done at The Vue, but still much to do. Tees and greens were very good. Bunkers and general course conditions were very spotty. $25 per person for cart rental seems a bit over the top. The clubhouse is still a hot mess. One of these days (years ?) this could be a premiere course, but it’s not there yet.

Great value and fun course

Really enjoyed this course. Beautiful views. Barely any houses, no cars or roads, nice serene environment. Fun layout. Cart paths and bunkers need work but the conditions were great otherwise. Clubhouse is under renovation currently. Played a 3 hour round mid week. Well worth it. I will be back.

Laurel View is on the way back

I have played this course multiple times over the last 10 years. This is the first season in a number of years where the conditions were almost ideal. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Bunkers are still poorly maintained. Had a perfect day of weather during my round, and pace of play was great for a Sat. morning round. For the price, well worth a trip to Hamden.
