One of the top 5 course I've played in my life.

Everyone needs to play it. Course is in great shape and the staff was more than helpful.

Greens Top Dressed Recently

Slower greens than usual due to recent top dressing. Still a great layout and great value.

Great course and people

Wonderful time with my daughter. Only minor inconveniences -hardly any hole numbering or signage. Most courses have ball washers. Wont keep us from coming back!

pace of play is abysmal

I checked in early. The staff, starter, grounds keepers, etc. were all very professional and friendly. I was a single and knew that I would have to wait on holes. I did tee off 1 hour earlier than expected. All good so far.

Well after finishing the third hole, my watch indicated it took 1 hour. At the 6th hole, there was a huge backup. The lead foursome was at least a hole behind and stopped to get drinks at the cart. They were literally at the tee box for 15 minures. No sense of urgency whatsoever. There was no where for me or the other golfers to go. They did not offer to let anyone play through. So I paid $60 to play 5 holes and left the course after 1 hour and 50 minutes. I was not going to hang around for a 6 hour round. This is just unacceptable. There was no ranger to enforce pace of play and the lagging foursome did not understand common golf etiquette. I will never return to this course.

Nice course in tip top shape

This is a well maintained and carefully tended course- somewhat links style, but fair and eminently playable. Greens are challenging, esp when pin placement is at top or bottom of the often considerable slope. One of the nicer public courses in the region.

How about some yardages on the sprinkler heads?

There were none. Carts are a joke compared to most courses that charge >$50 round.
Pro was inattentive, not the first time. Starter was great!

PLay stopped due to Thunder Storms

I'm really not happy at all. I have asked Golf now for a full refund because the course stopped our play due to Lightning in the area. They never approached us after that to explain any refund and just left us hanging around the parking lot. Once it was obvious we could not play we parked our cart and went home. I have filed for a full refund but have heard nothing yet!!!!!!

Glad to be back

It's been a couple years since I last played this course. However, it didn't disappoint me as it was as I remembered it and in excellent shape. The greens are fast and true, which I like putting on. Looking forward to another visit next time i'm in the area.

Great Getaway

The course was wonderful, weather was perfect and staff friendly. I was part of a foursome riding. There was a twosome in front of us walking. No problem right? These two guys must have thought they were Woods and McIlroy. They were playing from the blue tees. CT National is a long course from the white tees nevermind the blue. We waited on every hole for these two idiots in front of us. On hole ten they were trying to fish balls out of the pond. Our tee time was 1151 and we did not finish until 4:40.
