Windham Golf Course
Played On 08/14/2017Must have rocks in my head...pun intended
I love golf. I am sure somebody loves this course. No bashing here. Taking 15 minutes for input. period...
pace of play, poor. Has to do with a 4 hr round vs 5. Blind shots are ok.
The scorecards were incorrect.
GPS did not work here.
The layout needs serious restructuring. WHY? One of the holes I went to the right at a bunker that had multiple anthills of approx 4 inches high. OK. now what? I see another group on a course with 15-22 handicaps off a little to my right. Immediately left. U kidding, insurance liability big time. A moderate shank and I am beaned. Had that happen in Boston, ended up w a huge welt on my calf. Believe it was hole 1 or 2.
Conditions: rename this place Fred Flintstone Golf. Boulders in fairways. A complete disaster. On one of the holes, I hit pay dirt. Submerged rock under my ball. Playing partner heard it. I take excellent care of my clubs.
Carts were filthy. Plain and simple. What else, pray tell? After 6/7 holes, cart died. OK, staff responded and were nice. No moaning on my part. After couple minutes, the cart was riding sidesaddle. #60. Reported to clubhouse. $15 for this cart?
Value: What do u think?
Layout is blind shots all over the place. No GPS and a fibbing unreadable scorecard. Updates needed for those who want to throw their $$$ away.
Waited 15 minutes to order a lousy beer. Enuf...
Final thought: I love golf and mean no disrespect to owners, club pro and staff. Place needs serious clean-up. StAY on fairway with carts. Felt like wagon train. Cart 60 needs to be removed. I am a cart guy at a club. 75 carts are super clean. Get some pride. Enuf
The Tradition Golf Club At Wallingford
Played On 12/24/2015Backside tougher, lot longer than card says
Had i known about cart path only, i would not have payed. Course was not much fun with little roll (i missed 2 fairways). Tough cpurse. Gps on carts would be nice feature. No available. I prob will play again under drier conditions
White at Tunxis Country Club
Played On 12/06/2015Wonderful day in December
Have not played here in over 20 years, for my own reasons. Played the white 18. Greens rolled nicely...little hairy on some but its December!. Overall pleased. Lots of signage, but still a few miscues on back 9. The only thing I did not like was the carts and lugging my bag back and forth. No carts in lot.
Played with couple gents from Wolcott, CT area
Happy Holidays
ch better
FYI: Lack of any bunker raking was pathetic...The caliber of player here should have been much better
Portland Golf Course West
Played On 11/15/2015Vunderbal!
I can see why pro has been there so long! Challenging cpurse pf 12 par 3s and 6 par 4s. I played w father son for 9 and played last 9 solo. Cpurse is really well preserved... Only issue was signage. More signs w arrows. Not a big deal. Parking convenient. I would like to play in warm weather. Greens were great! I am stickler on greens. Just a touch on hairy side, but its Nov! Great job guys! J
The North at Goodwin Golf Course
Played On 11/05/2015Course coming along nicely
I mentioned scorecard clearly showing positioning of hole and green. I am spoiled w GPS in cart. There were some markings in fairway for distance. This course one must add significant yards because of slope.
I got a ridiculous price to play, but I wanted to play here because I knew there were changes. Will continue to improve. Extreme bumpiness on carts. I had to navigate looking for smoother ares. Its a public course. Pleased in general.
Ledges Golf Club
Played On 10/14/2015call ahead re sanding of greens
I played in OCT early am. Lots of shadows, leaves down and was not properly warmed up (good excuse). My other players were not helpful (local yocals). Of course it always pays to know nuances. I will go back under different conditions (later in day, different time of year. The course is well maintained . Tee it low on some holes. I hit a faade, course set up for draw. I started playing better after 5 holes (sun out, separated from the 2 ball). The signage upon entering and navigating prob suits local yokos, but it was useless as the print was teeny weeny. I got a great deal on golfnow...Now I know it was sanded. Lots of shorter par 4s. I lost 30-40 yds on teeball, but risk reward takes place. If u play for par u will get par. Thats enough. number of blind shots. greens are probably great midseason. By the way, when in the rough here, just get out. Cost me bigtime on 18 aftyer a 250 ydr. leaked into rough by 1 foot. Turned hossel twice. Thank God I have a sense of humor
Manchester Country Club
Played On 09/15/2015aerated greens
Nice layout. Sand clean, raked. Pace was extremely slow. Was not pleased with aerated greens and several greens were hairy. Fairways were OK. Lots of construction on about 4/5 holes. Gorgeous day made day more pallatible. Started 12:15, finished 4:45. Seemed longer. I would play again but not when aeration took place. They call them "green fees" because lots go into keeping greens in good condition.. Shot 84 with few extra for holes.
Laurel View Country Club
Played On 05/15/2015Rocky Road!
This was my home course for 2 golf seasons, as I lived in town. I played fHad short shot and realized after hitting my ball was nestled up on tip of a rock, resulting in damage to my 9 iron. Hole number 11 should be closed or demolished. There will be a major cart accident much sooner than later.. As for difficulty, I paid one over tow the right and then hit a beebee all way over on right. Ended up finding ball on cartpath on right. Got par there but lucky. If you played by rules, a 10 might be average score. Enough here. Too many accident traps. Track could be outstanding, but if offered free golf for year, I would not go. Matt ((pro) was engaging and did his job. This course needs work because it could be a gem.
our apologies for the round you had. Glad you enjoyed the friendliness of our staff but please email me directly to discuss offline at carlyteetimes@gmail.com
Southington Country Club
Played On 05/13/2015Short and tough

Blackledge Country Club - Anderson's Glen
Played On 11/12/2014Enjoy playing here!
Like any other course , you remember subleties and where to hit ball. Nice day as well
Tekoa Country Club
Played On 09/24/2014Well maintained, nice greens
As in playing a new course, there are always decisions to be made on club selection, where to target, etc. Course layout was good, greens were great (in my opinion). I was a 4.5 and lost a chunk of distance, as well as using hybrids, which have no ball action on green...they bound. Not much I could do. Greens rolled true. Nice job. J
Wow! I play here every week - course is in the best shape it's been and I think the layout is relatively challenging in comparison to other courses in the area and fun. I'm sorry about the cart situation and pace of play being slower...but jeez talk about crazy exaggeration on all the other points! Sounds like you just finished a round at Augusta before visiting Windham.
