The third, a dogleg left of 376, typifies most of the holes on this course: not long, but challenging in other ways. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Seven ( # 3 index) seems like one of the best par-4’s in Connecticut. This photo doesn’t reveal just how tough it is to make a par here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Eleven is another great hole, its protected green seen here in the shadows. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Twelve, another challenging par-5, plays downhill and through the woods. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Green six is fronted by a daunting, frontal bunker with a high lip. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The tenth hole’s green is set fairly close to, but below, New London Turnpike. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

This sprawling bunker flanking the right side of hole 11 is typical of the challenges abounding on these eighteen. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The fourteenth green, at 560 yards, will take two Herculean shots to reach in two, but anything less may find its way into the small brook before it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

Short but Very Challenging
Played here 3 or 4 days in a row. Loved it. Short course - I played irons off the tee except for a few par 5s. Be careful of bombing it past where you can see. Some hidden creeks and drop offs. Rough was TOUGH. Easy to lose a ball that you thought was in play. Greens were fast with some very difficult pin positions. The greens were hard to hold approach shots from mid or long irons so you really have to think about every shot.
Great Course and Layout.. Pace of Play Issues
Great course and layout. Only issue was pace of play. Id suggest long hitters off the tee stay away from this track. Short 4 pars hold up play as there were multiple times i had to club down off the tee just to move things along instead of waiting for the group in front of us to hit their 3rd or 4th shot to clear the fairway or front of the green.
I am all for having a place "anyone" can come and play but pace of play needs to be enforced.
Plan for a 4.5-5 hr round.
RI Neighbor
Course has an interesting with many blind shots. Tee boxes could be in better shape. Pace was good but it was Mother's day. Food excellent.
Second time
A bit slow but not too bad. Greens and fairways were in great shape. I’d come back and would recommend this course to others. I’d recommend a cart as its hilly and walking would be tough for 18.
No narrow here
Too narrow a course for my game and very unforgiving. Couple that with extremely slow play, and you have a less than desirable experience. Staff was great however, as was the restaurant/bar. We were happy to finish and sit down with an adult beverage after this round.
Very Enjoyable
Fairways and greens were quite good. Pace of play was amazing. No waiting and not pressured from behind. Some of the cart paths need a lot of work. A bit of a rough ride in spots.
