Nice course and fun to play.

Forest Green Golf Course is a good value and fun to play. The staff are friendly and informative. The course was in great shape for late summer and the pace of play was good. The course design accommodates all player skill levels. The carts and facilities were clean and in great shape. I look forward to playing another round of golf at Forest Greens Golf Course.

Nice fairways and greens.

I had a great day of golf at Bristow Manor Golf Course. The Pro Shop personnel were friendly and accommodating. The course was iin great shape in comparison to another course I played the day before located in the same area. The fairways and greens were in great shape and I had a nice round of golf. The golf is challenging for beginners, but fun to play. The staff in the 19th hole were very personable and hospitable. Play this course if have an opportunity.

Fair at best.

I have played this course many times over the last 14 years, and was bery disappointed with the conditions. I had an early afternoon tee-time and upon arrival was informed that the course was only open for 9 holes because the greens were being aerated. The back nine holes were closed and the front nine greens were covered with sand. The pace of play was poor, and there was no monitoring of pace of play from the staff. It was somewhat of a free fore all. The tee boxes were Not well maintained and much the same for the fairways. It is too bad that the course superintendent decided to perform the aeration just before Labor Day weekend.

Always an enjoyable round of golf

This is my first round of golf this year playing at Fox Hopyard Golf Course. It was a rainy day but still had a nice round of golf. It was a “Hot Deal” and morning tee time. We were pleasantly greeted by the cart attendant at the bag drop off point, and checked in at the Pro Shop. The Pro Shop representative was pleasant and accommodating. The course was in great shape for early Spring. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in good condition. The bunkers were recently raked and the golf cart was clean and super comfortable. My wife and I finished our round in 3 hours.

Good value and friendly staff

I recently played three rounds of golf at Norwich Golf Course during the last week. I booked a “Hot Deal” each day and enjoyed all three rounds of golf. The Pro Shop staff, and the PGA Professional were very personable and accommodating. The course was in good condition for early Spring, and the tee boxes and greens were well maintained. The hot deal was fantastic. I finished all three rounds in approximately 3.5 hours with a cart.

Nice course

Played the course for the first time with a “Hot Deal” tee time. Cart attendant promplty met us in the parking lot. The starter was friendly and pushed us off on time. The course was in very good condition for January and considering recent rains. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were green and in great shape. The course design is straight forward and playable for all skill levels. Enjoyed the round and will definately return.

Fall Golf

I usually play a few rounds of golf at this couse during the Spring, Summer and Fall. The course was in average condition for the Fall and after a few week's of considerable rainfall. The tee boxes and greens were maintained and in good condition. The fairways were playablle, but were very wet with some restricted areas. Golf carts were in full use and the course had some roped off travel areas. The fairways were clear and free of Autimn leaves. No difficulty locating your golfball. The staff at this golf course is very friendly and accommodating. I played on a “Hot Deal” which was an excellent price for this round of golf including a cart.

Nice round of golf & reasonably priced

I have played this course a few times each year. This was my first round playing the Andeson Glen Course and I was plaesantly surprised that the course was in such good condition, From tee to green, the course played well. The greens were moderately fast and true. Most of the bunkers were clean, full and recently raked, but a few of them had stones and needwd attention. I had an early tee tine, and finished the round in 3 hours. This is a 36 hole course.

Rural Golf Course

This was my second round of golf at Black Birch Golf Course within a week. I was looking for a quick round at a reasonable price and noticed the Hot Deal. Although I had a few dissapointments playing here a few days ago, today’s round went smoothly. The tees, fairways and greens were cut and in good condition. There was a lot of signage on the course, and it was readible and informative. There were still quite a few areas under repair, but the fairway divits and tee box skids were filled and repaired. The front 9 holes played well, but the back 9 holes are in need of attention. The staff is very friendly and helpful. If you like playing in a rural country setting, you will enjoy a round of golf at Black Birch.

Friendly staff. Good value.

This is the second round of golf played at Black Birch Golf Club this season. I had a mid-day tee time, and arrived on time. The course was busy and there were no available carts. We waited 30 minutes for a group to return, then started our round. Pace of play was average for a weekend. The tee boxes and fairways needed attention. Turf was long, and many areas under repair. Not the condition I was expecting for a weekend round. The greens were cut, but slower than my last round of golf that I played there. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is a good value for beginner or less seasoned golfers.

Nice rural course in country setting

This course has a nice rural country setting. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape for this early in the season. The bunkers were in need of attention and repair. My wife and I were pleasanntly greeted by Keith, who was very friendly and accommodating. I normally play at this course a few rounds per year, and it is an exxcellent value for the average golfer. The club house also maintains a snack bar for lucnh and serves lunch.

Enjoyale Winter Golf

Although I live in Connecticut, this was my first round of golf at this golf course. I encountered a traffic problem enroute to the course, and called the Pro Shop to inform them that I would not make my tee time. I did finally arrive 45 minutes late, and was greeted by Ted in the Pro Shop. He gave us a quick overview, and we started our round. There were only a few golfers on the course, and were pleasantly surprised that the course was in nice condition for December. The course design providd a good variety of holes. Both the fairways and greens were in excellent shape. I avoided the bunkers but noticed that they were not well maintained this time of the year. Stoney and suffering from some water erosion. I still enjoyed playing the course. My wife and I played 18 holes in 2 hours and 51 minutes. I would recommend playing here to above average golfers. You need to able to put your drives in play, and target your shots. Although the 19th hole was closed, it looked loke a nice place to enjoy a quick lunch and refreshment. The carts were in fair operating condition, and cleaned upon completion of our round. It was worth the one hour drive and another hour stuck in traffic. I am looking forward to playing another round here in the Spring.

Fox Hopyard CC still very playable

I just completed a round of golf at the Fox Hopyard Country Club in East Haddam, Connectixut. The course was in fantastic condition considering it is the end of November and closing in on Winter. The tees, fairways and greens were in great shape. The bunkers were thin and hard because if the cold weather, but overall, I had a very enjoyable round of golf. The Pro Shop staff is very frinedly, and we enjoyed a quick stop at the 19th hole after our round. This is a challenging course but playable for all skill levels. If you live in Connecticut or are traveling through Southern Connecticut, you will enjoy the experience.

Good course for a practice round

I played this golf courae a few times in the last couple years. The course conditions were satisfactory and the pace of play was good for a weekend round. The weather was nice and the course was busier than expected. The price per round is great, if you search out a “Hot Deal.” The course layout is somewhat confusing, but playable for all golfers. The fairways were a bit wet, and my golfball plugged on quite a few holes. This is a great course for a practice round or beginner golfer.

I finished the round in four hours and the pace of p,ay was consistent throughout the day. The carts were ckean, in good condition and the divot repair mix was full. The tee boxes were also well maintained and clean. Overall, a good value.

Great course, great golf.

I played 36 holes today at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Course. I was greeted early this morning by the General Manager, and set out on time for two rounds of golf. The course was in great shape for Mid October. Fairways and greens were in well serviced, and the bunkers were being repaired and new white sand being added. The greens were relatively fast and true. Since we were the first group off today, the pace of play was great. We played our second round in 3.5 hours. This course offers a very scenic experience and is fun to play. We look forward to our next round here at Blue Ridge Shadows Golf Course. Great deal.

Black Birch GC is wirth a visit.

This was my second round of golf at Black Birch Golf Course this month. This course is a good value if you utilize the "Hot Deal" fees. The greens are in good shape, and the tee boxes and sand traps are fair.at best. The fairways were dry and barren in many spots because of the lack of rain and irrigation. The pace of play was somewhat slow and could be improved by utilzng a course ranger to monitor and facilitate the pace of play. All in all, it is a good course for beginners.

Good value,

This was first experience playing the Green Course at Tunxis Plantation Country Club. I was pleasantly greeted at the Pro Shop and provided some basic information regarding the golf course. When I arrived at the starters station, the starter on duty was very personable and accommodating - a good exoerience to start off your round. I atrived a few minutes priort my 12 noon tee time, but was able to tee off immediately. The course was in good shape overall, but lacked sone direcrional signage to navigate from hole to hole. We has a morning rain, and the greens wererelatively slow. I enjoyed the wooded landscape, and the pace of play was good for weekend play. I would play here again.
