Gillette Ridge

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.

Played after a big tournament there so the pin placements were very challenging and tees were deep fun time

I have played other Arnold Palmer courses, for example his courses in Myrtle Beach and this course is not in the same league as his others. The building surrounding and the loads of people strangely milling about make for a noisy and odd round. Work trucks in play on hole or do not make for a glorious hole one.There are a few beautiful holes. Specifically number 16, but not enough to draw me back. The rate seems fair at 42 with cart though. They had trouble with taking Payment and gave zero directions on what to do to start. Odd place.

Friendly greeting by cart staff. Organized and friendly pro shop. Out to the starter who made it his life’s mission to convince me how much he loves this course, his job, experience of his customers. Says if you’re golfing solo come see him before you go in and ask the pro shop and he can get you in quicker. This guy is the man. Loves his job and very enthusiastic. The course is beautiful and well maintained. Summer 2020 has been very dry and even the best of courses look like crap. Not Gillette Ridge. This place is green, beautiful, scenic, well maintained. Very cool and interesting course. Challenging and very fun. Play the back 9 too, front 9 brought me back to play 18. At cart return these guys are always asking their customers how the experience was. They know their golf course is well run and they’re expecting a good response. New favorite course, highly recommend
