Laurel View Country Club
Played On 06/09/2019Getting better
I heard through several sources that Laurel View was improving. The sources are correct. The greens are in good shaqe though a little slow for me. Fairways are a little dry sort of like playing in the UK. Rough in spots could use some cutting. The bunkers are still unplayable but my sources tell me they will be redone by next year. Even though there is still no drinking water on the course the grill is open for food and drink. I will be returning to play. Hopefully the improvements will continue .

Played On 06/29/2018No drinking water
Played the course a month previous and the conditions were good. This time except for the greens the conditions were poor.
Rock hard fairways,clover all over the place and they would be better off getting rid of the bunkers. It was 90 degrees that day and there was no drinking water on the course. The layout is fantastic. I hope that the conditions improve

Played On 05/24/2018A different front nine
The course is in fantastic shape even after the tornado of last week. The staff has done an excellent job clearing all of the debris. The tornado took down a lot of trees that were in play on the front 9. Based on that the front 9 is slightly easier.
Laurel View Country Club
Played On 05/08/2018Pretty Good Shape
I read a lot of reviews lately that the course was in awful shape. How untrue those reviews are. Greens were fast and true. The ball sat up nice in the fairway. Yes the bunkers do need work and the cart paths could also use some but overall the course is in pretty good shape. I wish the restaurant was open but it probably does not pay to open it on a slow Tuesday. I will be returning.

Played On 11/06/2017Very fast greens
The course was in fantastic shape. The greens roll true and were very fast even under damp conditions. If it had been dry they would have been too fast except for perhaps top amateur golfers. Played in under 4 hours. Very few leaves in play which is wonderful for fall golf.
White at Gilbertsville Golf Club
Played On 09/22/2017Fun course.
Friendly staff. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Excellent pace of play for a Friday afternoon finished in less than 4 hours.
Orange Hills Country Club
Played On 09/11/2017Not as good as last year
The greens are in excellent shape,the fairways are ok but if you go off of them the conditions are awful. Cart paths on some holes are in need of major repair. The starter was very friendly along with the check in staff. I wish they had a ranger as the pace of play was awful. We were one of the first groups to tee off after an outing and it took 5 hours to finish. It was the group 2 groups in front and if a ranger was present he(she) hopefully could have done something. I would recomend this course if the above issues are addressed but not until then
The Tradition Golf Club At Wallingford
Played On 08/14/2017Fantastic course
Play the course quite often. It's always in wonderful shape. The staff is great. I have read reviews that if you have a Hot Deal they will not let you out early. I have never run into that problem as long as space and time is available. A two twosome option at times is also allowed as long as you will not be running into full paying customers(can you blame them). One recommendation for the course would charge an extra $1.00 for playing and include about 15 range balls.
Indian Springs Golf Club
Played On 05/23/2017Excellent 9 hole course
It has been a few years since I have played Indian Springs. It was in fantastic shape. I do not recall the fence being to the left of # 2 fairway but thanks for putting it there as it saved my drive from going down the hill and being lost. I have read from other reviews that they do not let you out early if you have a Hot Deal. I got out early(Thanks Indian Springs). I finished the 9 holes in 90 min.
Linfield National Golf Club
Played On 04/28/2017Gets better every year
Whenever I am in town this time of year I play Linfield National. Each year since the current owner has purchased the course it gets better and better. Greens were recently aerated(this has to be done) and even with this the course was in excellent shape. Almost all of the bunkers are in great shape. I played Bella Vista the day before and I can say Linfield National was in better condition. Cannot wait to play Linfield National again.
Orange Hills Country Club
Played On 09/03/2016Nice course
Course was in decent shape considering the lack of rain in the area. Greens rolled true but slow. Pace was excellent until we ran into the back of an outing still we finished in 4.5 hrs.
Player at Lyman Orchards Golf Club
Played On 10/27/2015Fun day
Players is one of my favorite courses. The course today was in fine shape. Pace of play for a threesome was under 3 hours on this day.
Iron Valley Golf Club
Played On 09/25/2015Wish I lived closer
Everything about this course is excellent. Pleasently greeted when we arrived at the bag drop and again in the pro shop and also by the starter. They know what customer service is all about. The course was in excellent shape from tee to green. One tip do not go above the cup. The two nines are completely different which was very enjoyable. Since they have 10 minute tee times the pace of play was tremendous. I will be back again when I am in the area.
Miner Hills Golf Course
Played On 09/04/2015Fun course
Nice little executive course in Middletown CT. Greens though slow were in excellent shape. The fairways on the three par 4's were also good. Everywhere else was very dry and hard including the tee boxes. The price of $14.00(including the fee) through a Golf Now Hot Deal was a good buy. I would not pay more than $20.00 for 18 holes. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Went around the 9 hole course twice as a twosome in 2 hrs.
Whitney Farms Golf Club
Played On 08/20/2015One of the best around
Everything about this course is excellent. Excellent layout, challenging holes, fantastic greens on the back nine. I cannot say this about the front nine since they were just aerated(that's why a rating of only 4 stars for course conditions). Once the necessary aeration season is over with all the greens will be fantastic. Every employee that I met there was very friendly. You can also get breakfast there before teeing off. I have not experienced that anywhere else in the state of CT. I will be going back
Woodbridge Country Club
Played On 08/10/2015Just OK
In spots the course conditions were ok in other spots they were awful. Most greens however were fine, a little slow but true. I had an early morning tee time and they let me out as a single. Finished in less than 2.5 hrs even though at times it was a bit confusing on where to go you must pay attention to the tee signs. I will go back but only with a Hot Deal price, the course at this time is not worth more than that
Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane
Played On 08/07/2015One of the best
Excellent condition. Greens were as fast and true as any in the area. Finished on time. Everything is positive. In fact they also listen to their customers. I played it late last year and almost drove into the stream running across #18, I told them about it and they now have it staked. I will be back.
Jones at Lyman Orchards Golf Club
Played On 07/26/2015Slow back nine
Played here many times and the course is always in excellent shape. Today however it took almost 3 hrs to play the back nine. There were 4 groups on the 10th hole. I know the ranger was trying to do something about it but I also know that you do not want to lose customers. What about the customers behind.?There were at least 3 holes open in front of that slow group and not once did I see them asked to be moved up. I know the pro should be able to do this. As for the Philly Cheesesteak it was awful. The beef was as tough as shoe leather.
Southington Country Club
Played On 07/21/2015Perfect shape
Everything on the course from tee to green was in perfect shape. The greens are comparable to many private courses I have played. They could have had a little more drinking water on the course or if not that a cart person would work. Also the bartender could have had a smile on her face. She acted as if she was doing you a favor.
