Been down here two weeks and this is the first green golf course I’ve played on out of six, maybe because of all the ponds they have which if your not crazy off line really don’t come into play. Greens were slower than what I played on but rolled true and were more receptive. Interaction with the staff was fantastic. Enjoyable round overall.

To many old pin hole marks, on the greens, winter rye scarce, great layout. My overall negative review was the result of a 5 3/4 hour round. Three hours to play the first nine which chased a few to quit at the turn but didn’t really speed up play. A ranger came by on our ninth hole and had nothing to say other than the course books tee times at seven minute increments and this is how they make money, well they made money this day but won’t in the future if this continues. My third time playing here in six years, good luck to the new owners, get your act together or I won’t be back.

Course design and conditions very nice. Only negative was the one drink I had after the round $16 for a double, yikes!

It’s a tough piece of ground to maintain during a drought and I suspect limited funds available to make serious changes. It’s hilly and boney and bare but it is a Donald Ross design or what’s left of it. Greens were just aerated as noted on the tee time, only felt like I got robbed once or twice do to this. The biggest challenge is hitting off dirt or dorment burnt grass. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot in the fall, can’t bear the price and a quick commute up 91.

Good experience overall, highly recommend. Only negative was $12 for a double, ridiculous.

Fantastic as airways especially with the changing foliage, will return again and again.

Been waiting a long time to play the course as it had a very good reputation many years ago as a private club. Seems to be a club on the brink of collapse or development at first glance. Oversized tool shed and portable bathroom trailer make up the amenities, beer was available after the round. Putting green was in poor condition with the remains of a once grand clubhouse and pool nearby, ni range to warm up. As far as the course was concerned the greens rolled true, we’re firm and it very good shape when compared to the practice green, fairways good overall with some areas in need of seed and fertilizer, bunkers descent for early spring. Lots of winter cleanup still needs to be completed. Overall for the deal I got it was worth it, anything above $45 will be hard to justify, good luck to the ownership on reviving this once jewel of a cc.

Although this course doesn’t compare with 20 years ago when it was a jewel of a private course it is still a great track. The greens have healed nicely from aeration in late August and ran quick which I like. A few brown spots but we have been under a severe drought all summer so that was to be expected. Cart paths are shot but they’ve been that way for a few years is about the only negative. A great design of a course and club overall, will return.

Such a beautiful and challenging track. Easy access to I-91. Will return again soon..

Course in fantastic shape, only exception are pitch marks and divots not being repaired by inconsiderate golfers. Do not agree with the switching of the nines a few years back, the new number 9 was a classic finishing hole in my mind. Definitely will play again.

Evidently the folks who play their do not believe in fixing divot marks on the green or in the fairway which hurts everyone, typical lazy Connecticut folks. Some of the flower beds and shrubs looked a bit un-kept. The greens were slow, but overall I still love playing the course.
