What are the top public golf courses in Connecticut?

It depends who you ask. In the case of GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists, you are the expert, along with thousands of your fellow golfers.

We compile our annual Golfers' Choice lists by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least three reviews in 2023 to be eligible for this year's list. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

The course is in great shape for this time of year with the leaves under control and everything still green! I don't care what your age is the greens are in great shape, (please) take the time to fix your ball mark. I always fix lazy people's marks as I'm waiting to putt!" - GolfPass reviewer
