Gillette Ridge

Course was in so-so shape and looked a little tired. Course can be very penal if you are not on your game. Overall was dissapointed in the round.

Great course period. Well taken care of, groomed throughout. Cart path is paved around the course. A lot of visible wildlife, Rabbits, Deer, etc. Definitely need to play the course a few times to learn all of the challenges.

The course is tough and has huge potential. The play was slow. No starter. The sand traps were terrible. They need a lot of work. Tee areas were beat up. I think with new ownership this place will become a 5 star.

This course used to be in really nice shape, but this year something is amiss. The tee boxes were in very rough shape and the bunkers were even worse. I like the layout and it's a nice course to play but not when it's in this kind of shape.

Course could be special, conditions holding it back. Hopefully, new ownership will be found that can invest in improving it.......I heard it's currently in foreclosure

Fairways and greens were not maintained. Sand traps were like cement. Glad we got a deal to play the round, I would not be happy if I paid full price.

Fun round of golf. Very difficult approach shots on most greens. I play a lot of local public courses that don't compare to this place. It was much more challenging and taught me a thing or two about course management/strategy.

Great price but putting greens and t boxes were below Gillette standard. Not sure if that is the reason for good rates. Love the course layout but pace of play was slow with no course ranger in site to speed things up. Would play again but not during middle of the day

I reserved as a single for $35+ and was told that morning before I traveled 45 minutes that 3 others would be joining me. Having arrived 30 minutes early for a 10:20AM tee time, I headed to the range and was told that the other 3 were not there, but would meet me there. About 10:10AM, 3 men came to the range and hit balls and I asked if they were the 10:20AM tee time which they said "no". Wondering if my threesome showed, the pro shop said that the were in fact my group. I went to the 1st tee and they declined to let me join them in a matter of fact way. I again went back to the pro shop and waited until a twosome checked in (which only paid $30) so I would have some one to play with. All worked out in the end. My impressions were that having played this course over the last 5 years, it has gone down hill dramatically.. No starter, few people playing the course, tee markers were off to the side instead of set up, the tee boxes were in sad shape and overall, I had the feeling that the course was really hurting. Someone will have to step up to the plate and buy this facility or I see it going under in the near future. It's sad because 75% of the holes are challenging and require some great shot shaping.

This course is really fun. A couple par fives are reachable in 2 and there is one par 4 reachable with a drive. This course is challenging though with narrow fairways on some holes. Overall great course.

Beautiful track but conditions need work - greens bumpy and traps not kept up too well

This course was excellent a few years ago. Fairways have divots everywhere. Greens were in poor shape wit lots of ball marks. In need of some serious maintenance.

Turf in great shape. Greens on the slow side but we have had some rain lately.

Course condition is way down from treats past. Pace of play was very slow, pickled up at 10 as many people left because they weren't going to get done on time.

Not even worth the $35 special I paid for it. The fairways aren't bad, but the greens are terrible. Way too many dead spots which does not allow good rolls for putting. If you are going to play in Bloomfield, then pay the $80 and play Wintonbury Hills instead. It's worth the extra money to play at a quality course.

I was looking forward to playing my first Palmer layout and impressing my buddy who was hosting my family and I for the weekend. The first clue of something amiss was all the broken carts in the abandoned tennis courts... not a good first impression. It wasn't all downhill, the starter was nice and so was the guy in the clubhouse.

The course made us think with all the blind shots and beautiful vistas but the greens were just too frustrating. They were in terrible shape: dead spots like a dalmatian, unrepaired pitch marks, aeration still visible, and the ball just wouldn't stay on a line. The fairways weren't much better: everybody is laying up to 100-120 and it was all chopped up. Drainage seems to be an issue too because there were soggy spots in a lot of areas.

The public courses I play in NYC might not have the pedigree or fancy layout but the greens and fairways are in better shape for far less money.

Course is still a nice layout, challenging but playable for ant handicap. Plenty of everything ( water, canyon bunkers, nasty rough, etc.) course needs some work but mostly from the lack of care of patrons, ball marks on greens, divots and clumps everywhere. This is still a local course that just more tlc. Worth the golf now price.

Played with friends who have played this course many times in the past and while I thought the course was in good to very good condition they said it was not being kept as well as prior years. Overall I enjoyed the day and would play this course again.

Layout is very attractive but condition not good. Traps in bad shape - no sand. Greens in trouble. Must have been a great course at one time. Decent value. Need to play a couple times to know where the trouble is.

The course has matured well since opening. The course condition is good. Bunkers still need work, but playable. I enjoy a tough course, it makes you think. It's a tough track for an average golfer. We had a great deal to play and I think that they should run specials to get more revenue to bring the course condition to great. Get away from the high end course fess and get the people playing some golf.
