Gillette Ridge
Played On 11/04/2017RIDICULOUSLY SLOW; POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE;
Bad experience from start to finish. Manager Lucas lied about play time and course conditions. I found fictitious items added to my bill. I overheard Lucas boasting that most customers don't realize that he has signed them up for their monthly "Players Club." and that it is almost impossible to cancel the continued monthly billing. Sad that such a potentially nice facility is run by such management that taints the entire experience--- Play if you have 6 hours; HOLD YOUR WALLET!

This review is about the furthest thing from the truth. I am a full member of this club for a few reasons. First, it is miserably challenging and has improved my approach to how I play golf. If you don't play smart, you are in the junk. It is a pro level course for us Joe Nobody's which is pretty awesome. Second, Macho Men feel the need to play the blues or the tips here......a lot. My advice, don't unless you're a really good golfer. This is a hard place for the mid-level player. The reality is, there's no Gold Jacket waiting for you at the closing ceremony. It's those guys that slow it down. If you go there on a busy day, like any Golf Course, play will be slower. Third, the customer service is exemplary. Lucas specifically is hands down the most patient and even keeled golf pro I have met. It is Lucas that has me playing well and believe me I was horrible when I started playing again. As far as conditions, and this is direct right at the reviewer, IT'S NOVEMBER IN CONNECTICUT DUDE!!!! What did you think you were getting? Lush green grass and perfect greens. The grounds crew needs to prep for winter man. Oh, side note, there's no contract player's club. You just cancel it. Nice lie though and I'm also pretty sure that Century golf knows how to manage a Golf Course. Arnie knew his business. In short sir, your review is laden with lies, is not accurate of the staff and does not represent my club. My guess is it was too hard for you to play so you decided to lash out without logic when you felt jaded. For everyone else, Gillette Ridge is amazing and worth every minute you spend there. Even if the play is slow some days.
