Gillette Ridge

Very difficult course to play, recommend playing from the white for your first time. Lots of hazards from the blue. Conditions were not great but due to the amount of rain from the previous 3 days. Will definitely play again.

I was part of a threesome. There were about 3 groups on the course. We were behind the slowest foursome. There needs to be a ranger to move things along. It was 100 degrees out. Too hot to be waiting 10 minutes on a tee.

Played the front 9. Staff was great, course was beautiful. Hope to play the full 18 next time! Price was extremely fair as well

Paid $31 on tee-off which is outstanding. Course had some dead patches on the fairways and on some greens. Greens were slow and very hilly. Pace of play was 4 3/4 hours with an 11 am start. No rangers seen on course for help.

The greens were slow, which was surprising and had a lot of dead spots in them. There was no grass at all in parts of the greens and many of the fairways had tons of divot spots.

We saw a ranger a lot on the front nine but once we got to the back nine, he was nowhere to be seen. The group in front of us made sure to putt out all putts and took forever. They were not playing ready golf and standing over each putt like it was to win The Masters.

There are too many better courses for better value in the area to play this course ever again.

only problem was they need a marshal all the time to manage people that are playing slow

Had been looking to play this course for years on Golf Now. It’s a haul for me about 100 miles. Price was great and the course was in great shape. I played in the early afternoon and breezed through the first few holes. After that ran into lots of people. Was told they are very busy in afternoon.

Loved the course! Not overly long unless you go all the way back. Every hole was interesting and challenging. Have to play it a few times to figure it out. Greens were in good shape and although not heavily bunkered had lots of roll offs where creative chipping was necessary. Wouk

It was a typical CT. summer day with high heat and humidity with afternoon thunder storms forming. With a pre booked reservation a week in advance the 4 of us were faced with a 1:00 pm tee time and these thunderstorms slated right in the middle of our round. I called the course first thing in in am and explained our concerns and asked if we could tee off any earlier. Without hesitation our request was granted we teed off 3 hours earlier than our scheduled time. Finished our round, had lunch at the course scampered to our cars in the mist of a noisy thunder storm. Thank you Gillette Ridge Pro shop you made our "DAY"

For the past 3 years I’ve been a member of gilette ridge. This was the first year I decided to cancel it. The past 2 years I’ve enjoyed the challenging and fun course and good conditions. The pace of play was normal about 4 hours for 18 give or take. This year the course has declined. The pace of play is horrible. I’ve been out at 6 am all the way until late afternoon and it’s taken way too long. They seem to pack people into the course. In all honestly it’s not worth $70+. You can go somewhere else with that amount and hopefully get a better pace of play. It was 95 degrees out and it took 4 hours to play 9. There were multiple occurrences with groups waiting on the tee box. One or two times it was 4 groups on the tee including us. We called the pro shop atleast 3 times and they said a ranger would be out. Didn’t see 1. This is a beautiful challenging course. It’s sad to see the management letting it get out of hand.
