Player at Lyman Orchards Golf Club
Played On 03/26/2023Cart path only
The course was in good condition but soft so they had cart path only rule. Most of their cart paths are a good distance from fairways so play time increases. They heavily overbooked course and ran out of carts. Poor planning!

Babcock National
Played On 08/13/2021Beautiful course
The course is beautiful, the property around the course is still under development but didn’t disrupt our play at all. Very friendly staff.

The course was in great shape with very little standing water or muddy areas. We had a great round.
Farmingbury Hills Golf Club
Played On 05/25/2020Poor judgement by the owner
Generally when a group is playing slow they are politely asked to pick up the pace. This was not the case. We didn’t even finish our 2nd hole when the 2some behind us became irate. What they neglected to see was the 4some in front of us struggling. The 4some skips the 3rd hole trying to pick up their pace -and the owner came screaming at us about throwing us off the course. Clearly he new the regulars behind us. We had my son and yes he is learning but my rule is .. hit one and pick up and drop with me. Hit again and pick up so we don’t hold up the play.
No respect, no asking what happen .. just all out craziness! Maybe a player gets wild .. but the owner .. clearly he thinks his $39 round is the quality of a country club! If your locals are scratch golfers and you want to favor them, then don’t be public or block time for them. Very poor judgement and completely uncalled for actions on his part.
Too bad since I golf often and many of my friends play this course. We will play Portland or Hop Brook instead.
Crestbrook Park Golf Course
Played On 07/03/2019Nice course with some poor conditions
Course has a number of fairways that are very uneven due to things like drainage ditches and sinkholes. Greens were in very good shape on this trip and it looks like they have improved the bunkers. Quiet day so the pace was perfect. Guys mowing seemed to follow us to each hole. Fee should be reduced if we are expected to play around the maintenance crews all day. This is a $45 course. Anything over $50 starts to get pricey.
Portland Golf Course
Played On 05/01/2018Not for the average golfer
This course is designed for club selection and accuracy. Great course with tough layout makes this course enjoyable in a country setting.
The Tradition Golf Club At Wallingford
Played On 11/24/2017Great course but not for a novice
We enjoy this course every time we play. It is a public course so beware of the less educated golfer! Staff is always great and when the beverage cart comes around see if you can get the egg sandwich! OMG Deliciousness...
Portland Golf Course
Played On 10/27/2017Great opportunities to use all the clubs in your bag
This course is filled with hills and valleys. Not an easy course for a novice player. We truly enjoyed it. We will play this course again
I couldn’t believe coming across this comment. I still continue to tell this story today. Middle of a pandemic, and Farmingbury was one of very few golf courses still following safety guidelines to remain open. The tee sheet for the day didn’t have a single tee time open. You’re talking every time taken, from 7:00am-7:pm, on the nicest weather Sunday we’d seen for Spring. Gentlemen waiting on hole 2 says, “There’s a guy giving lessons to another player on every one of his 10 shots for the hole.” At that moment, we’re not just going based off that. This argument between players on hole 2 continues, when we see this man with his teenage sons start to charge the old man from a distance. Yes, he starts to charge, while screaming at the top of his lungs. Now wait, before we continue any further with this, we look down to holes 3, and the tee box on 4, and there’s not a group to be seen. The group in front didn’t “skip a hole” because there was nowhere to go, nowhere to skip to. The times were back to back as stated. So with all other factors aside, this man decided an early Sunday afternoon, on the busiest day I’d ever seen at a golf course, was best time to teach other players. The foursome that was “holding them up” was playing almost 2 full holes ahead, and everyone after them was at a complete standstill. So with complete context and all actual factors left out by original commenter now being known. When he began to aggressively charge the old man from a distance, it was time someone intervened. The worker that approached the aggressor and writer of this comment, was also met with the same amount of aggression, even more so. Screaming at the top of his lungs and a brief charge once again. This man with his sons was so out of line and irate, I had pulled my phone out to call the police if needed. I couldn’t believe seeing any of this, and kept thinking to myself, “Wow, this is the example this guy is setting for his teenage sons.” I was expecting any rational person to respond, “yeah, sorry. I understand it’s a Sunday, on a day so busy there isn’t a single open tee time for the entire day. We’ll make sure we keep to the group in front of us, slower or not.” No understanding, the course to a halt, and he should’ve been asked to leave the course the minute he showed that amount aggression, and let the struggling foursome in front of him get almost 2 holes ahead. The only reason he wasn’t asked to leave is because everyone around was certain this man would’ve turned things physical and violent when someone asked him to leave. I literally couldn’t believe coming across this comment. Leave out all the factors in your comment that shed you of any responsibility or what actually happened that day.
