Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane is situated in the quiet town of Woodbridge, just 20 minutes from New Haven. Formerly known as Oak Lane County Club, the course was both renamed and renovated when it was acquired by the management team at The Tradition Golf Club at Wallingford. Many of the holes were updated but the golf course retained its challenging but playable nature. Though the course is player friendly enough to appeal to players of all skill levels, there are still several challenges in store. Numerous strategically placed bunkers lurk along the greens and towering trees also frame most of the holes. The holes are mostly straightforward with a few tricky doglegs to keep you on your toes. You'll also be confronted with the occasional water hole. Both your accuracy and short-game skills will be tested at Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane.

Great shape!

The course was in great shape with very little standing water or muddy areas. We had a great round.

Great Course to Play

The Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane in Woodbridge, CT is an outstanding course and I look forward to playing it again in the future. The course uses the hilly terrain to create many challenging, but not overwhelmingly difficult, holes. What a pleasant change from playing on a basically flat course.

Beautiful Course

Can’t really find anything bad about this course. Well maintained, friendly staff, and a great layout. I will continue to go back there.

Good shape but grinded to halt on back 9

Got paired up with another single so us 2, only another pair ahead of us and had go rhythm first few holes. But after about 5-6 holes we started catching up to the 2 in front of us on next tee with a 3-some ahead of them that killed the time. Played front 9 in just 2 hours, but no sign of a ranger to push them faster and dragged it iut on a hot, muggy day.
Course was in good shape for the lack of rain, greens had lots of challenging slopes & were very fast.
Could definitely use some drinks/food in the clubhouse to not rely on the couple cart girls in the heat of summer.

Fortunately I got the hot deal with a couple promo codes to pay $39 by $70 is unrealistic for a mid-afternoon Saturday round
