Gillette Ridge

Love this course. It is a lot of fun. Greens were terrific, nice and fast. Fairways nice. Course always makes you think.

Tough to see the ball this time of year. If it goes out of play, don't expect to find it. Too many leaves.

As the sun sets, pace of play slows to a crawl. Expect a backup on the back nine as groups stack up. I feel you have a later tee time, consider getting there early- but don't always expect them to let you out...

Fun time, not the cheapest deal around, but very enjoyable course.

I just started picking up golf this year due to Covid and the closing of my regular gym. Chris, the starter guy who also runs the outside operations has been extremely helpful, encouraging, and considerate. With a big smile he greets everyone and always brings with him a positive attitude.

I have since got two of my friends joined this course as members under Chris encouragement. We all play here often and enjoy it very much. Thanks Chris.

Very nice tract. Like a soft carpet from tee to green. Staff visible removing leaves. Other courses do not make the same effort, and good luck finding your ball if your not in the fairway..

the November weather was chilly and very windy. the course is in good shape they do a good job clearing the leaves off the fairways. the sand traps this time of year were like hitting off a cart path according to my friend. I would avoid the traps if i were you. the greens were OK. I found it disturbing that it appears most golfers DO NOT REPAIR FAIRWAY DIVOTS AND BALL MARKS ON THE GREEN on this course. A beautiful course like this the golfers should repair any damaged they cause if possible.

Next to Wintonburry Hills; this course us in immaculate condition: staff are very friendly. Finished my round in 4hrs exactly on a cold fall morning. Definitely coming back

More challenging than most Palmer courses. Some lengthy forced carries, and the usual Palmer course green-side safety bailout areas not as apparent. But very rewarding to overcome the front-of-green obstacles (bunkers, mounds, collection areas) and look at a birdie putt. Need to be “on your game” to score well. But you can have a great time in any case. I’d play it again. Worth a trip if you haven’t played it.

Slowest round I have ever played. Took a little over 5 1/2 hrs to get around. Just terrible for a Wednesday morning tee time. Other than that, the course got an excellent layout, and it's still in decent shape for this time of the year.

I recommend this course with a warning: make sure to give yourself plenty of time to play this course. It's going to take a long time.

This course is fantastic. We had a perfect day to play and the course was perfect. Greens were fast, tees were plush and the fairways were perfect. I would play this course everyday and never complain. Even pace of play was good.

Teaching pro, played Gillette for the first time. CT has been in a drought state for weeks and the course was still in very good condition. Few dry spots here and there but almost all away from main play areas. Greens were cut short and fast for such a water state. Overall a very good layout with tricky and difficult greens. Played the back tees and it provides a difficult but very fair layout. Some blind tee shots but with GPS or local player not a big issue. Tremendous value compared to other premium layouts, and look forward to returning.

This is a solid course. The greens are fast the layout is fun and challenging and the staff are so nice. The par 5’s are not easy birdie holes but do reward great shots. Favorite hole is the par 5 11th just cause of the view and is a great risk reward type of course. Overall definitely recommend this place

Overall, the course was in a great shape. There were a couple of greens a few spots dried out, but the pin position was way far from those, so it did not interfere the putting. All greens were fast.

The course was not in good condition, but playable. Green tee boxes were mostly non existent,,,they were spots in fairways, skimpy grass, lots of divots unfilled with sand. Green were fast, but many ball marks that other players failed to fix. No more red tee boxes and women's yardage reduced a lot. Why are drop zones put on the green side of hazards? Drop zones were not well marked or manicured. Will I play here again? Probably not. Maybe you can blame it on the pandemic that the course was in not so good condition>>>>hmmmm.

Nicest course we played in the Hartford area. Extremely good conditions. Stopped after for food at the clubhouse and had some great wings.
