Scenic course , improved conditions

I played this course with the Safari Club this week. The conditions were much improved over last year. There are still many fairways that haven’t recovered fully from whatever disease that took over, but overall, getting back to what they have been in the past
Greens were in nice condition, and most of the tee boxes were in good shape.
Although shorter then many courses around this area, there’s still plenty of trouble to find.

Improvements going on

Played here last week with the Safari Club. Much different set up due to major renovations going on. That, and the wet conditions made it less enjoyable then past years, but will look forward to seeing it again when the construction is over.

Good value

I hope that Ellinwood’s members continue to support this course so that it can play to its potential once again. The greens were in good shape and rolled nicely. The tee boxes were well groomed, and the few bunkers that I was in seemed okay. I guess where this course falls short is the fairways and cart paths. Lots of bare spots, so preferred lies is the only way to go. The carts and cart paths are prett,y dated and rough. Someone with a bad back would not be too happy after riding for 18 holes in spite of how careful you drive. The people are nice there, and the price is right. I hope to see more improvements in the future.

More user friendly for woman

This has always been a challenging course. It is long for women, and there is lots of water to cross. They just added new women’ tees, so it is much nicer for shorter hitters.
Always appreciate the quick greens, and nice fairway conditions.

Beautiful setting

What a nice course. The layout flows, so you often feel like you have the course to yourself. Love the greens...tough but fair.
Worth the ride.

Very pleasantly surprised!!

I just played this course with the Safari club yesterday. To be honest, I was not optimistic about what I would find based on the incredibly low price. I can't tell you how nice this course is. The greens were fast and challenging, and the tee boxes and fairways were very respectable. The layout is very different , and the holes are well marked. I felt like a was playing a top course in Vermont or New Hampshire. Incredible views from many holes, and they have some nice fall specials going on. My only criticism is that there was no water(drinking water) on the course. Given the heat and humidity, it was needed or a notice that there would be no coolers out. I will definitely play this course again!!

Challenging course

I played this course with the Safari Club 2 weeks ago. Very nice conditions, but quite the challenge. Fast greens, many holes had trouble left, right, and center. They say it is the 3rd hardest course in Connecticut. Believe it!!Bring your game with you.

Best 18 hole walking course in the area

I played Hickory Ridge with the Safari Club on 8/2/17. I also play this course all the time. Hickory Ridge keeps getting better and better. The green are rolling better then ever. The tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. If you like to walk, there is no better course to walk all 18 holes. If you are looking for a challenge, you will want to play here. Many holes include caries over water, and most of the greens are elevated. Bring your game with you to score well.
Great value and beautiful views from the porch after your round from the porch overlooking the 18th hole. The new restaurant manager has put together a nice menu , and the food at the grill is great.

Nice mountain course

Just played this course with the Safari Club last week. What a great mountain course!! The greens rolled nicely, and fairways were in very good shape. There are lots of blind shots typical of a mountain course, so placement is important on most shots. Will definitely play this course again.

Enjoyable course

I played this course with the Safari Club recently, and had a wonderful experience. Very nice views and layout. The greens rolled nicely, and the course was in good shape overall. Due to recent hard rains, the bunkers were in touch shape, but the rest of the course was nice. The food was exceptional.

Nice greens

I played this course the day after some heavy rain hit the area. I was anticipating very soggy conditions and slow greens. I was shocked at how well this course rebounded from this, and how fast the greens were. Very pretty course, challenging layout, and nice view on the patio after your round.

Worth trying

I played this course with the Safari Club recently. I thought the layout was interesting, and the greens were nice. My major issue with the course were the womens' tee boxes. Many were moved up from the "real tee box" and just randomly planted somewhere. It may make the course shorter for some women, but is a real disadvantage to women who want a "real" tee box. The staff in the bar area were very friendly and efficient.

Scenic course

I played this course with the Safari Club recently. Can't say enough about the physical beauty of the course, conditions, and layout. I did think the restaurant was overpriced and although there wer a lot of waitresses walking by us, it was very confusing to know who would wait on us. All in all, a very nice course to play.

Noticeable improvements

I played this course on May 17th with the Safari group. It was in great condition. Having played it last fall, it was very obvious how much work was done on the course to bring it back to its usual top condition. The greens weren't quite as fast as I remembered, but it had rained quite a bit prior to playing, Nice place for an outing. The staff is very accommodating.

Good value

Recently played this course after having last played it many years ago. I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of the course, given all the bad weather the area had endured. I played in the Safari Club group, which brought 100 players to this course for the opening kick off.
Good conditions, nice layout, and hard/faster greens.
Great course to walk if you are able.

Nice place

Very impressed with the overall condition of this course for the money. Nice fairways, tee boxes, and the green were nice, but not too fast,

Very friendly workers and women golfers that I ran into.

I enjoyed the back nine more, as the wildlife was plentiful, and there only a few condos.
The bunkers were beautiful!!
I would definitely recommended this course and will play it again.
