I played a practice round with a student of mine. It was so nice. Thank you. I had to change the tee time because my student had a class so he wanted to come back 30 min later. I asked in the pro shop if I could change the tee time and they had no problem.I have a really good feeling that I will get along with the staff in this golf course.

I only play this golf course early in March once or twice every year.

I wish the fairways were in better shape. The tee box on Hole 10 from the blue tees needs to be in much better shape.

I asked a couple of workers as I was walking on Hole 10, "Will you be able to flatten the tee box on this home from the blue tees?"

This is a moderate golf course. First time I played this golf course was in 2016. I was a bit intimidated back then. I think I played again in 2017. This time I played with no driver and only with irons. It was nice to be back.

The Bedrock Golf Course blonde staff member is very nice.
The Bedrock Golf Course blonde staff member is very nice. As soon as I went and approached the pro-shop desk, she saw the registration on my phone, she consulted with the owner’s wife, and she said that I can go and play when I’m ready.
That is exactly what you want a staff member to show: respect, courtesy, acknowledgment. I played a nice round. I had lunch after my round. I went home.
I would only recommend playing this course when the blonde staff member works there.

Bedrock golf course is a small golf course with narrow fairways, small greens, and tight lies. Bedrock golf course as the name indicates was built on a rocky terrain; hence, there are a lot of rocks on the ground. The fairways are very narrow. There is a lot of areas where the ball goes out-of-bound. Instead of out-of-bounds the local USGA rule is for red stakes. Even if your ball is in a fairway the lie make be a tight-lie. I have asked the owner of Bedrock to do more work in improving the conditions of the fairways. Three should be a clear and distinctive advantage for the ball to be in the fairway. There are certain USGA requirements for designing the fairways which I believe this golf course falls short for maybe 20-30 percent of the fairways.
The greens are small. The green size of this golf course is perhaps half or one third of what the typical green size should be.
There are a lot of penalty areas. But because the tee boxes are in absolutely horrible conditions, I would desperately recommend to owner to fix the tee boxes.
This golf course is in desperate need of restoration, renovation, and improvement.
One of the staff members is absolutely annoying. Every time I go there, she says that I need to call before making my tee-time reservations. I reserve my tee-time @ 10 PM in the evening. There is no body in the golf course @ that time. The golf course has made a contract with GolfNow.com. They staff members should live up to the terms and conditions of the contract & should be respectful to the golfnow.com costumers.
This golf course needs more funding, more golfers, & need reviews on how to do a better job & fix their golf course.
I would recommend from golfnow.com to send local architects and propose a renovation, restoration, and improvements plan to the owner of this golf course.

I just created a new practice called the iron only practice named after Jack Nicklaus since Jack loved playing his irons. I think that Bedrock golf club fits perfectly this kind of practice.
Since I hit my driving iron about 210-230 yards, I can reach most of the greens in regulation with another iron. All the PAR 5s and 3s are no problem at all. It is only two PAR 4s, Hole 3 and 9 that need a long iron on the approach shot.
I think also Bedrock offer an opportunity to practice the short game. The greens are in good shape.
There is water along the golf course. It is really quiet and it is really nice.

Practice at a championship course
Connecticut National Golf Club is perfectly suited for amateurs who compete at the USGA and/or US Open qualifiers. From the black tees is about 6936 yards. It is one of the few golf courses with 5 PAR 3s, 4 PAR 5s, and 9 PAR 4s. I like the variety of different holes, short, midrange, long, and a few very long PAR 3, 4, and 5.
This year I feel very comfortable reaching all the GIR.
I like it that the golf course is far from any of the major highways. You cannot hear any noise except from maybe an airplane or two.
The golf course is not crowded when I play which is perfect for me.
Highly recommended.

Great golf course to practice your short game and your iron shots.

This golf course has a driving range which is a PLUS!

Most of the fairways of this golf course are too narrow. The greens are smaller than in most golf courses. Hence, it will challenge your short game and your iron play.

Due to heavy recent rain, a lot of the spots of golf course were still in water.

Trees get in the way. Golf etiquette is an issue. I was paired with a smoker. The personnel, who were trimming the grass, were too close to the players.

Overall, I think it is a good golf course to practice your short game and your iron shots.

I believe that this is a great practice course for anyone wanting to enter a tournament. The fairways are a bit narrow so you might want to use more of the 3W and 3H instead of the DR.
I will consider playing at this course at least once a month.
Next time I will include photos and videos for my review.
