Wintonbury Hills Golf Course

1st and foremost, this is a "BEAUTIFUL COURSE". Course has 4 sets of tee boxes. Black's- Green's- White's-Yellow's. With no Red's one would think the Yellow's were for the women. I played the whites. Course designed not to have the cart paths interfere with play. Just, don't play this course on a cart path only day. This left longs walks up and down hills (did I say up & down hills) to your ball (IN THE FAIRWAYS). This killed my hips and knees. Back side: If you only drive the ball 185-205 average, like I do, this left for long irons shots or fairway woods into the greens (most 170+). It's hard to get a fairway wood or 3-4 iron to hold the greens. Front side was nice, averaging, 135-140 into the greens. Maybe I should have played the Yellow tees on the back side. But how do you switch in the middle of a round? Courses of this caliber usually have a Tee Box for the Seniors as not to leaving them hanging or playing 100 yard par 3’s and 300 yards or less par 4’s. Still got a little life left in me. Maybe if it wasn’t still wet from the rain the night before I would have gotten more of a roll on the drives. Bottom line the course was “GREAT” people were even “BETTER”. Will try to play again when it’ dry.

Driving range is down the road and you need to buy tokens at the course pro shop. Other than that, everything was well organzied. Fairly open front side, in very good condition, GPS on carts so you could see the entire hole and get a sense of distances. A few holes on the back side were tree lined but generally tough to get in too much trouble and fairways and greens were in great shape. A few dollars more than most of the nearby courses but well worth it.

Fun course, challenging greens, you have to keep it in play to score. GPS on carts helps a bit with distance but I preferred a range finder for more accurate distance on par 3's.

Played Sunday August 18th for the first time and had a positive experience. Nobody there to set up our clubs on a cart upon arrival so we helped ourselves to the nearest one. Very good condition all in all and the greens were very fast. Many ball marks on the greens but they rolled true. Pace of play was great and overall enjoyable. Need to bring your putting game for this course............

Very well maintained but you do have to pay for that maintenance. The good news is that it is well worth it. GPS on the carts, difficult yet not overbearing, fast greens, great fairways, beautiful views.

This is a great course! We tee'd off at 7:30am and were finished just before 11:00am - great pace of play and the course was in excellent condition! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I hadn't played Wintonbury this early in the morning before, but I highly recommend it!

Course was in great shape. Great value. Would definitely play again and would definitely recommend others play here.

Everything was awsome, a great day as usual for this course. Only complaint is that players need to repair their divots and scuff marks on the greens. Not the courses fault, but too many feel that divot repair is someone else's job like raking bunkers!

My favorite course in CT, great deal for $45 if you tee off early. Course is in great shape, even with the hot weather this summer. Well maintained, challenging, and greens putt fast and true. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

My first time playing the course. Beautiful scenery. Fairways are perfect as well as the tee boxes. Loved the layout. The only complaint my playing partners and I had was that the greens were average. They were slightly faster than regular public courses but rolled well. They had an incredible amount of unrepaired ball marks which we found surprising for a course of this quality. We paid 38 dollars each for a twilight rate which is an incredible bargain for a course of this quality.

Tees, fairways in very good condition, greens looked well used but rolled true and fast.

Played this course for the second time and loved it once again. Course is maintained beautifully. Fast greens make for a challenging round with careful consideration of approach shots and putts. Course plays very naturally with holes laid out well. Highly recommend this course.

Excellent course - highly recomend this course. very good shape, Fast greens

Very friendly staff...course was in great shape!!The greens were in great shape and the views were very nice.I wouldn't pay the full 80 dollars that the course charges but with the golf now rate of 43 bucks that was well worth it!!

Played an early morning round after a Tropical Storm blew through over the previous 24 hrs. Our worries that the course would be unplayable we're unfounded. We went off at 6:50am and there was barely a puddle to be seen. Greens were in great shape and actually rolled pretty quick. Well designed and maintained. Bunkers were even free of pools after 2" or more of rain the night before. Wonderful layout with challenging, but not overly punative holes. Great value, as I've played lesser courses for twice the price or more. Just booked another round for next week.

The course itself was in great shape, nice fairways and nice greens. when I play a course that cost more than average, I expect more than average. When we reached the first green the starter informed us that the pace of play was 4 hours. he went on to say that if we went over that pace we would be warned over and over again. We felt rushed immediately. The starter then came down and warned us of slow play on the first hole. Talk about being extremely pushy. We finished our round in less than 4 hours, but will never return because of the start.

Nice starting hole. Degree of difficulty increases. Back 9 more difficult than the front. The course was in good shape for this time of year. Some greens tough to read adding to the intrigue. A great golfing experience overall.

The course is a great track.. The front is wide open link style while the back is tree lined. Many elevation changes and challenging greens. The course is in beautiful condition with fast even rolling greens. Worth the trip and the rate.

This is a beautiful Pete Dye layout and always fun to play.
My only complaint is regarding the annoying governors on the carts, which totally shut the cart down if you go off the mandated grid on any hole.
Be prepared to push your cart back to where it will run again.

Nice outdoor seating area and good practise green.

Great golf course... lot of fun playing it!!!
Great views also...
