Gillette Ridge

Greens were in very good shape and fast. Tee boxes were in terrible condition. Some of the fairways were pretty beat up.

Weekend rounds at $105 are far from being a value. We played at $35 each for 18 with a cart. Course is a 6.5/10. Bunkers need slot of work and greens are still healing from early season aeration.

Can’t say enough good things about this course. Great layout, challenging but fair, tee-to-green, it was in fantastic shape.

Used to be so good….

Played many rounds here over the years and this is the first time I was genuinely concerned for the shape the course is in. I get we had some rain the past couple of weeks, but other courses I played were fine so I assumed as such.

But a huge reason why I’m giving this a one star is because I had wrote about my experience in a Facebook group for golfers in CT.

Apparently the manager didn’t take that feedback very well and decided to call me. Sure he was giving me an explanation as to why the conditions were the way they were but then he proceeded on telling me that I can’t write things like that.

Didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to post honest feedback where others can see it.

Where it gets funnier is he assumed because I’m “young” that’s why I did that… but I’m 40 so there goes that.

Honestly, to be hounded like that and told that I can’t write reviews about them where others can see is actually quite ridiculous.

It was also extremely condescending on his part which I don’t appreciate and quite frankly, just inappropriate.

The real kicker is me paying $38 dollars for a “championship course”. Yes the layout is great but if the conditions were near championship level, I would happily pay more than that,

But thankfully between the course being in rough shape and the manager inappropriately calling me to complain about a review I wrote where others agreed with me.

Makes it a lot easier for me never to want to go back.

This surely deserves no stars. In his words “ we don’t need your business” … well feeling is mutual.

I play a lot of different courses and meet up with new people. Someone told me I had to play this course.

Tee to Green a grate course.

Staff was very friendly from the gentleman that load our bags on the cart to the gentleman that cleaned our clubs after the round.

Young man behind the counter when I checked in was very professional and polite.

My wife and I went in to purchase a shirt after the round and the gentleman was very friendly.

We spoke with him for a short time before we left.

Not worth the money with the bunkers being in the condition they’re in.

I booked a T time for 3 of us and another friend booked for himself. We were all locked in to pay $45 when we arrive at the course. 1 showed up a few min before the rest of us. He got the $45 pricing. 1 of the other 3 is a police officer and received a discount at $38 for the total (even though the manager said someone shouldn’t have given him the discount when I spoke with the manager about the pricing). And the final 2 paid $57 each. The manager said the algorithm was based upon what time you showed up. So because we only showed up a few minutes before the teatime, our price was different. Seems like they just charge some people different prices in hopes that you’ll just pay and they make extra.

Golf course was in ok shape considering it was April but the greens were awful. Bunkers were mud like consistency. Not what I expected for that kind of price point.
