Wintonbury Hills Golf Course

Love the track. Love the conditions. Greens were fantastic. Only problems for me, it's completely overpriced and staff are unfriendly. They whack you $25 each for a cart when you get there and this is not a course that you will walk.

Considering how dry it is the course was in good shape and fair. Excellent course layout. Staff at the course was Wonderful and contributed to a very good experience for our foursome. We will be back again.

Let me start by saying I LOVE Wintonbury Hills. Me and my friends drive 2 hours to play this course and will in the future. That being said, the fairways were horrendous today. Absolutely terrible. Greens were terrific, tee boxes terrific, staff terrific. When I asked, I was told they hadn't had rain in 8 weeks. Sprinklers? I have played 30 rounds this summer and no courses were like what I saw today.

I thought I saw sprinkler heads but maybe there was drought restrictions. Whatever, I am sorry for the course. I am sure you will return to your glory and we will see you next year. I also must add what a previous review said about the GPS on the carts. We had to push a cart numerous times. No warning, just shutdown.

This is a fun golf course but man the conditions aren’t that great. For 50 bucks I’m hoping the fairways Are actually good. Greens are deceiving and really have either a lot of break or no break at all

Regulars who play think they own the course. Some are rude and indicating your pace Is too slow when it isn’t.

Paid 44 each x2 to play 18 and got there and they charged us an additional $60 for the cart

My reservation does not day walking! Rip off

Then at end could not use facilities to go to the bathroom at 6:30 they closed it

It took 4 of us to push the cart backwards up the hill because there was no one to come help us. Also paid and got to course and they said what we paid did not include the carts. I’m done playing there!!!

Very little friendliness from the staff unless they know you. Don't expect a Pete Dye golf course and you will probably enjoy it more.

Wintonbury Hills is a fantastic course. This Pete Dye design holds up beautifully. A challenging course with stunning views. We love to play here. Walking is a great workout too.

Fun layout, different from a lot of the typical New England courses in that it is more links style then anything else. Strong gusts all afternoon forced a lot of conservative approach shots. Course is not overly penalizing off the tee but it does test all facets of your game. Definitely would recommend playing it if you get an opportunity!

I had been at the coarse years ago & enjoyed it. This time was a different story.

It was a HOT day so we rented a cart. They have new carts with all the bells & whistles but on the first hole, the cart allowed us on the fairway, but then it said you were in a restricted area...so it shut down. Putting it into reverse was slower than a turtle in quicksand. Very frustrating.

It only allowed cart path. Walking from cart path to the ball in the heat, guessing your distance from the cart path - took all the fun out of the game.

There was a single player we let through on the front 9. On the back 9 - we caught up. He said there was a foursome not offering to let him through. From there we had to wait at every hole.

Pace of play was horrific. No ranger to move golfers.

Looked as if too many tee times were sold to pack the course.

Highly recommended. Par 70 6300 yards from the green tees. Nice layout w/ a good variety of holes, Course is in good condition after a dry, hot summer. Greens have a good bit of undulation making for tricky reads & few straight putts. Fairways are generous, lined by either fescue or trees. Nits - Bunkers were in pretty tough condition due to no rakes & players not smoothing foot prints, a couple of pin locations had been overused creating many pitch marks near the pins.

The course is a combination of a links course and a mountain course. Conditions were good and greens relatively fast. ( I play mostly private clubs so my standards may be biased) pace of play was good. The controlled golf carts that at limited You to the fairways were somewhat annoying. Overall it was an enjoyable golf experience.

I had played this course a few years ago & enjoyed it. But today was a different story.

Everyone who wants a cart pays $15. At first I was impressed with the new carts they had. That was until I got on the golf course. It was a hot day & on the first hole, a par 4, the monitor said cart path only.

The week before at a different course it rained so that made sense, but on a sunny day having to walk across the fairway with your clubs made it frustrating. .

A couple times I tested it & either it wouldn’t tell you until you tried to leave or it shutdown going there. At which point you had to put it in reverse, or the cart shut down Entirely (twice on me) & it didn’t function either way.

For the two of us it made our round of golf un enjoyable.

Wintonbury Hills definitely a top course in Connecticut. Unfortunately cannot say the same for the staff in the Pro Shop. Dismissive and unprofessional. Course was in good shape considering the heat of this summer. Greens were more receptive then than in previous seasons.

Despite the excellent course conditions, I had been backed up since the second hole. The waiting continued til the 18th hole. At the 5th hole, 4 groups were waiting for their tee off. A marshal needs to patrol to keep up the pace of play.
