Wet conditions led to an average day

While you might read my rating for The Golf Club at Oxford Greens and conclude that the course is not a good one, the wet conditions on the date I played really impacted our round. I think Oxford Greens is one of the better public courses in Connecticut. However, wet conditions and paying $75 in March (when the greens and fairways were soaked) ultimately led to my poor review. Management should take course conditions (cart path only, slow pace of play) and price the round accordingly.

Laurel View is on the way back

I have played this course multiple times over the last 10 years. This is the first season in a number of years where the conditions were almost ideal. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Bunkers are still poorly maintained. Had a perfect day of weather during my round, and pace of play was great for a Sat. morning round. For the price, well worth a trip to Hamden.

Early Spring conditions in Late Spring

I play this course fairly regularly, so I am very familiar generally with the course conditions over the years. Traditions at Oak Lane is usually in excellent condition; however, because of the above average rain this Spring 2019, the grounds crew has not been able to keep the course in great condition. The bunkers had tons of water still in them during my round, the fairways were pretty soaked -- and this definitely reduced my enjoyment . Still, I will give the management another chance to get it right. The price, however, should reflect these conditions -- so paying $55 for a wet, cart path-only round wasn't ideal.

Challenging but fair

The course is in great shape (as usual). I liked some of the subtle changes (removing some bunkers) that made the round more enjoyable.

Happy I chose this course

The course is in terrific shape. The greens were fast, but fair. The fairways were plush and I saw constant work being done by the maintenance crews during the round.
