First Round of 2022

Packed course being March and 70 degrees out as expected. Tee times backed up, again expected. No expectations as it is early in the season, Lyman always a fun course to play. See our round on utube… KTB Hackers Golf..

New "cart fee" Look out!

I booked a round here for $40 so I thought until you get to the counter and they charge you a cart fee!! Never heard of this before and have played here for multiple years in the past. Never paid more than $40. So a $60 round, no water provided on the course, all mud everywhere. Cart paths in rough shape in most places. Not their finest hour today. I understand its been raining but you are still gonna charge $60 to play on a Tuesday morning in these conditions?? Sand traps all mud most filled with water.

Can play multiple other courses in the area for $35 with cart. This app has their prices $20 less, and that is what should be honored on their website!! Sent email complaint asking for refund or a free round, lets see if I hear back. Bad job guys!!

Has the ability to be a great course but...

Live in Hamden so this is a easy stop for me to get in a round. Was charged 45 once without a golf now reservation where you pay 35 so keep that in mind for a "discount". Course has gone downhill over the years due to rumors of a bad golf pro running the place so I hear, but in 2017 I find the course to be in good shape for the most part. Cart paths do need work, sand traps are not sand, but fairways are OK and for the most part the greens look great. I see signs for "mickeys grill" on some of the holes but never see a restaurant open and the pro shop has nothing in it for sale. Anyway, I still like coming here and will continue. Hope they turn it around over the next few years.

Move it!!!

Waaaaaay too many slow players out there. At one point there was 3 groups on one hole. DO not understand why they allow groups off the back when it slows down our pace of play coming from the turn. Everyone needs to start from the front if there are groups approaching the 8th hole. Nobody checked apparently.

Needs maintenance

Challenging "Gary Player" Course, lost 12 balls, but mostly because we could not find them in the thick rough! Cart paths need major work. Dont go left or right, you will lose your ball to the woods, not much room off the fairway on 80% of the holes. Nice scenery through the orchards.

You Pay for the challenge

Little bit expensive vs. most in CT. Greens are fast. Holes are challenging, course is long! Played on a Tuesday 8:30am, rained a few hours before still fast greens for the most part which raised my score. I am a beginner at best but never exceeded 7 strokes on a few holes. Hit all the greens on the par 3's. There seems to be more room along the fairways than some have previously mentioned even with my slice.. lol.. Not sure how weekend rounds would be. Def more expensive and at least 5 hours as it took us 4.5 on a slow Tuesday. Would play again for the right price.

This course continues to be a disaster!

So I book a golf now tee time today for this place and I get there and there is a senior league going on forcing us to start off the back and then unable to play the front! Pro shop, (if you can even call it that) had no answers for us. There is nobody running the place except for some girl taking money in the pro shop who could not help us or get the "pro" on the phone to remedy our problem. Course is falling apart, in debt, and mis-managed. Tried to give this place a chance every season, but it just gets worse. Plenty of other courses to play at in the area and a better value. The course is on facebook yet there is no wifi so you can "check in" and promote the place!

The "go-to" course

This course has it all. Love the feared island hole on 12. Back 9 is tougher than the front. Course in good condition, the price is usually right. Cart girl comes around often for food and beverages.

Can't beat $25 for 18

Even if it is a smaller course, its great for iron practice and you can drive at least 3 of the holes. No water coolers on the course which is odd, how much does that cost the facility as a courtesy? Greens are in good shape, a bit slow, but good condition. The tee boxes could use some work, hard to get a tee into some of them. Looks like they are continuing to upgrade the property. Geared more towards "Daddy and daughter" for a round of 9 holes. Play it twice in 2.5 hours. Its good for a round a year for the more intermediate golfer.

Need to step it up

Can't beat 34 bucks for 18 and a cart during the week, but charging $49 on Columbus Day was ridiculous, it's FALL! Course was packed with old men who thought they were on the PGA Tour and some groups had 5 people in them slowing our play down tremendously. You need to have tee-times and update your website with the correct info,. Cart paths need alot of work in some spots. We play the course 10x a year and wills till go back but you guys need to announce when you have tournaments and shotgun starts. Went there one day and had to leave not knowing what was going on

Neglect

I enjoy the course but it needs work. Where is the F&B service? Sand traps should be called stone traps, cart paths are a mess, It's a 5 minute ride from my home so this is why I play here but when I ask my friends to join me they decline because the overall upkeep has gone downhill and there are many other local courses that offer a better experience. Hopefully in 2015 we see some improvmement
