Played On 08/10/2018Course on life support
I've played Laurel View for around 10 years now. We play several rounds there a year, as well as a small outing there at the end of the summer.
I've never been so disappointed with a course before. I ignored most of the other reviews because I have played there often. This is the worst its ever been. Hole 1 and 2 had burned out greens and ball marks all over. Dark black lines and crabgrass across the green.
As some of the other reviews pointed out, there are plenty of bare spots in the fairways, But the real shock didn't come until the 5th green. I didn't even putt. So much goose poop on the green I couldn't even find a line.
Sand traps, or concrete traps hadn't been touched in at least weeks, maybe a month. Crabgrass and other weeds regularly exceeded the sand to weed ratio.
I asked the guy at the desk and he kinda shrugged. He had heard it before, every day he said. He said feel free to contact the owner but thats not going to get anywhere.
We will be looking for a new venue for our outing....not worth a round here. The course is on life support, oh and i forgot to mention the grill is shut down. Can't see this lasting more than the year. Going to disappear or become a housing complex.

Played On 07/10/2018Great course
I have been playing this course since it went public several years back. It’s close to home, and reasonably priced. This year they updated to GPS in all the carts which is amazing. It’s not a long course, but has some challenging holes. Starter got us out early to avoid a two some that had a history of poor pace of play. We were a two behind a threesome, rarely waiting and finished sub four hours. I really recommend this course.
Hop Brook Golf Course
Played On 05/05/2015Would have been nice to play
I have played Hop Brook several times over the last few years. Beautiful weather today so I stopped down to walk a quick 9 after work. I was told that leagues were ongoing and that they had no openings in the afternoons any weekday because of them. There was no one on the tee box and surely a single walker was going to outpace any foursome that showed up. But alas, I was turned away. Played Woodhaven in Bethany after a 20 minute drive. They were able to sneak me out in between a league (the guys were really cool about it) for $15. I will never go back to Hop Brook. For a course that is town owned...I really don't think you should be turning away business.
Course is usually in average condition, but customer service is terrible. Similar Facebook reviews on their homepage.
Skip it and play Oxford, Woodbridge CC, or Woodhaven instead
