Played On 10/28/2023Snails Pace of Play
Perfect weather day to enjoy a fall round of golf. I don't play fast but like to play ready golf with my partner. We unfortunately got stuck behind two groups of inexperienced golfers. They rarely hit straight shots and would still hit multiple balls. They did not seem to care they were backing up the rest of the golfers on the course nor would let anyone play through. No course ranger available so we called the pro shop to complain but they did nothing. We finally skipped two holes on the back nine to get in front of them. The rest of the back nine was totally open from there.

Course was in decent shape. Many sand traps had standing water in them due to recent rains. The most annoying part is that they don't allow you to take your cart into the parking lot to get your clubs. Every other course in the area this is not an issue. Major inconvenience.

First time playing here this year and was disappointing. The greens were in nice shape. Unfortunately many tee boxes were a mess, the sand traps hadn't been raked in a long time, fairways were okay. My biggest issue was NO water available on the course and no cart to buy anything from.

I would guess that about 75% of the sand traps are currently under major renovation. They are craters of ground under repair but it looks like they aren't in any hurry to complete them this season. Too bad because the fairways and greens were in good shape.

My first time playing there this year ended up being disappointing. Every green had some kind of winter burn issues with dead grass patches. The third hole was so bad they had a temporary green. I like this course a lot but won't be back until the greens recover.

Course was in great shape. It was cart path only due to overnight rain so somewhat of an inconvenience. I was sorry to hear they want to go private next year. It was the public that supported them last year when the course was in rough shape. I hope the current members don't mind their annual dues being doubled.
There are still open spots to join the club...you should consider it. It's far better now that it's private.

Played On 07/27/2021Fix the Pin Flags !
The course has grown back in nicely since I played it back in May. The greens have healed and grown back in better. What was annoying was their crazy pin flags. Some back pins were red flags, some front pins yellow, middle sometimes white. I don't use a laser gps so I still really like red, white, and blue for front , middle, and back holes. So simple a fix to see your approach front, middle, and back yardage.

I've played this course twice and I think that's enough. Let me explain. The greens are frustrating to putt. The bent grass rolls the ball like you were putting on the spackle on your ceiling. Most greens have sand traps next to them but the issues is the sand quality itself. There are lots of little pebbles that get sprayed on the green. You try to clear off as many as you can but annoying to have to do it on every green. There are alot of blind shots on the front nine which makes it dangerous. Especially if the group behind you is walking so they don't know if it's clear to hit or not. The back nine has many holes close to each other. There is not a lot of tree or bush landscape to protect you from someone's errant shot. I was putting on the 6th hole and 12th hole when another group's tee shot landed close to where I was putting. We were almost hit on the 14th tee box and 14th green again. There is some traffic noise from I-95 so if anyone yelled "Fore", we couldn't here it. It made me nervous standing over my shots not knowing if there would be anymore incoming way word shots. Bottom line is upgrade your sand and fix some protective landscaping and/or fencing with nets to protect the golfers.

I hadn't played here since last fall. I stopped then because the storm in August had really damaged the course. They have new management now and are making progress in rejuvenating the course again. There are still a lot of greens that still need attention to complete their recovery. I'll be back to play in June to see how they have progressed.

The course is currently doing some major construction on the 15th hole. It is closed until the work is complete, Hole 10 & 11 are compromised because they significantly moved up the tee box. Other parts of the course are dug up as they fix their water system. It was annoying that I paid that much with these conditions affecting play. I will not be back until they are done.

Played On 04/03/2019Got expensive to play
I have enjoyed playing this course in the past. It has a great layout and kept in great shape. This year they seemed to have adopted a new pricing policy. They charge top dollar for off season rates. They no longer offer "Hot Deal" value rates. Maybe they're pressuring you to buy a Fox Pass card. That allows you to play for $75., which is still way above their Hot Deal rates from last year.

It is a challenge to play golf in mid-October in CT. There was a frost delay and we were able to start 30 minutes later than our original tee time. The course was in great shape. A lot of challenging tee boxes and pin placements as you would expect for this time of year.

Greens recently airated and fertilized, made putting somewhat challenging.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
