My golf partner and I squeezed this nice little course in while on vacation. Quick paced round. Small but with some challenges. Fair amount of water.

This course in that there are multiple places to lose your ball. The water is a factor in plenty of shots so play smarter. I had a good time on s crisp fall morning and it was beyond my expectations.

Fun 9 hole course. Got to keep it straight. Lots of water hazards. Great value for your dollar.

This is a nice little 9 hole golf course. Keep in mind you’re paying about $20 for 9 holes…so don’t expect great conditions. Tee boxes and fairways are rough…greens are slow but other than some ball marks well maintained. That said, for a high to mid handicap for the $ it’s a great layout to work on accuracy. Almost every hole has OB, water or trees in interesting places that protect greens - so it’s a real game improvement type course.

Wish it was 18 holes. Greens and rough we’ll taken care of. Tees were a little banged up. Golfers need to learn how to notice divots on greens and repair them. Reminder of it being a public course with all of the marks on the green.

We’ll be back. Was a fun course.

This is a nice little 9 hole course, easy to walk and easy to navigate. The greens were on the slow side and there were a lot of ball marks that people did not repair. The tee boxes and fairways must have taken a beating during the dry spring because they were just coming back from the July rain. Overall I would play it again, but not one I would go out of my way to book.

I always liked to play this course. It's got a quirky layout and was usually in good condition. Now it's not nearly as good...the fairways are bad...you have to move your ball around to find a decent lie. The greens are rough...not fun to putt on. Hopefully it makes a comeback.

On the positive side, this layout is solid, even though it is diminished by conditions (e.g., your ball may sometimes roll too much because of lack of grass and end up in a bad spot). I had fun working the ball today–mainly with my stock draw–and found that this was effective on most of the holes, although not all favor that ball-flight. The toughest holes on this nine are seven and eight, but most are still quite challenging–and may well add extra strokes to your card–when a mistake is made. Pomperaug is essentially a ‘target’ course where avoidance of the numerous water hazards may be, for those who want to score their best, the number one priority.

When I played here two months ago, conditions had improved over last fall–and they were about average. Unfortunately, they’re weak overall now, since the fairways and tees have degraded in different ways (the roughs were okay). Greens were somewhat pockmarked but smooth enough that they did not hamper my putting all that much. I’m not sure what the root cause of the conditioning issues may be, but it likely has something to do with the operation of the watering system, as three other western Connecticut courses I’ve just played are all in at least good condition.

Service in the pro shop is excellent: friendly and accommodating in every respect. The course was quite busy today, as it seemingly always is.

I’d played here a long time ago but not in the last 15 years. Conditions seem much worse than I recall. Friendly pro shop but the course conditions are currently very poor. Many areas just off the fairways and greens are patchy with sparse coverage and considerable dirt surface. Greens are horribly potmarked and show large areas with mixed grass varieties and rough bumpy surfaces. There didn’t seem to be many clear yardage makers on the fairways either. The layout is interesting and reasonably challenging with a fair amount of water and sand trap complexity. Very hot day when we played yet none of the water stations on the course had coolers in them, no water to be had. It also appears they have a makeshift sort of snack area, not a true clubhouse but we didn’t stick around to check it out more closely. Not a great experience.

The golf course was in excellent condition, the course was nice and wide so I didn't feel compact like some other 9 holes courses I played at before. The staff was great and very friendly and helpful. My friends and I will be going back again to this course.

Slow pace do to senior ladies league preceding us. Course could use some TLC.

Of the 4some, 2 were new golfers - ranger came around to 'keep pace'. Not much we can do. As is they picked up their ball a few times. Conditions were horrid, on & off the green. Challenging layout. Would be helpful if scorecards had the layout printed on them. 4 tee boxes set up, but only 3 listed on cards. Will play again, but conditions need to improve. Staff a pleasure.
