Good value

Value for your money is tremendous. Only problem is the people that play are slow and don’t respect the course. Unfixed ball marks are ridiculous.

Worth a Round

Played the course today with the Safari Club and enjoyed the round. Some interesting and challenging holes that held your interest. Keep the ball in the fairway and you have an opportunity to post a good score with fairways and greens in excellent condition.

Never Again!

Club house staff was friendly. While teeing off on the 6th hole the grounds staff tuned on the fairway and greens sprinklers. They left them on for both my twosome and the twosome behind us. We could not play the hole and was extremely disappointed by the lack of professionalism displayed by the grounds crew. We wont be going back.

Solid Course

Second time playing Raceway and first time in December. Tees, fairways, and greens all in great shape on a 40 degree day when hardly anybody else was playing. Tree-lined fairways for the most part with back-to-back par 5's on the front nine, one of which is a double dog-leg where you have to hit over a pond to reach the green. Par 5's are all pretty short. Only thing I did not like about the course is the bunkers. No sand in them, just crushed pebbles, which is much different than playing out of sand. Also, carts have no plexiglass so if it is windy, you will feel it.

Great Course for a great price

Although the golf course amenities are moderate the course itself is first class. The greens are in terrific shape and if you like to grip and rip it this course offers you those opportunities on many of the holes. The holes are very interesting and will test your game. You will truly enjoy your round of golf at Raceway without paying a small fortune.

Interesting Course

Played here on 9/19/18 with the Safari Club. Course was in very nice condition -- even with all the rain that we had recently. It drained well. Greens putted very true. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Had a nice meal in the tavern afterwards. New England clam chowder was out of this world! Looking forward to playing here next year.

Safari Club Outing

The course,,, not in bad shape. The day before we had 3" of rain so there was standing water and wet conditions. But the course was in pretty good shape. The food was good also.

Not Welcoming

Its obvious that Golf Now members are second citizens. It was very obvious in tone of voice, demeanor and professional courtesy.

Questions about the starter, the golf cart, and tee time were met with a aloof and disenchanted answer. I guess they don't like you when you don't pay them.

WORST SET OF Range GOLF BALLs EVER.
SLICES, Holes, loose covers and for 10 dollars.
Outrageous ...

No senior tees on most holes.
The whole experience was aggravating and so insensitive.

I'm gonna play CT NATIONAL from now on.
It's light years better.

Hidden Gem

If Raceway was closer than an hour from home, I'd play this course much more often. Have played this course about 10 times since 2012. This course is a real bargain for $38.00 walking after 1PM on a weekend. Great layout, a few water holes, a few doglegs, some tight but not menacing holes, some short and some long par 4s, but most of all - great hole designs, each hole very different from one another - really is a hidden gem in Northeast CT. Hot dog shack on 13th teebox, drinking water every fifth hole or so. Condition of the course is above average and the greens are usually on the slow side. Because there are only a few public courses in this neck of the woods, I do believe this course does get a lot of play so therefore pace of play may be slower than most courses.
