The 5th. Par-4, 333. Classic drive-and-pitch hole, reflecting the links flavor of many Wintonbury holes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/14/2021
-
7th. Par-3, 255. As seen from tee eight, a threesome engaged in play around the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/14/2021
-
11. Par-4, 433. A brute that takes no prisoners, and straight uphill from tee to green. Well, you can enjoy the fall scenery, anyway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/14/2021
-
The twelfth, a downhill par-3 of 168, gives you a slight breather on a back nine that supplies little respite. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/14/2021

Henry sets up for his tee shot at 14. An avid and fine golfer, he hit it down the middle on this hauntingly beautiful golf hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/14/2021

Wintonbury’s toughness quickly becomes apparent by the time you’ve reached green two. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

Five is a short but strategic four-par of 333. Beautiful vistas abound on this course. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

The downhill 7th, a three-par of 255. Dye believed that long three-pars were the only holes to induce low-handicappers to hit long irons. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

The Reverse Redan 9th, a 190-yard par-three, features a well-fortified green complex. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

Conclusion to an uphill five-par of 551: the thirteenth green. A Bloomfield reservoir lies below. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

The fourteenth looks amazing even at twilight, but it’s an unforgiving par-4 of 455. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2020

I Recommend This Course
Always a good round
The course is in an amazing condition right now. Greens are fast and in great shape. Don’t miss the fairway, the rough will get you in trouble even if you miss by a yard or two. Staff is always friendly and keep things moving. My only complaint is they are understaffed which took away some enjoyment and they really missed out on revenue not having a cart girl out there on a hot Friday afternoon. Also only one girl working the bar and obviously was overwhelmed. Hopefully they will get that together as the season moves on. Will be back.

great course but slow
Course was in very good condition, but with the rain we have been getting the rough was a little thick. Unfortunately the groups in front of us were slow even though tee times are spaced at ten minutes. Could be that people just had some difficulty and it backed people up, and the course does not have rangers to keep things moving.

First time
First time playing the course, early spring conditions, but I loved the location of the course and probably is beautiful in the fall, great early season conditions, and looks like it’s a phenomenal place to continue golfing when it grows in.

Aeration !!!
I’m so tired of golf courses omitting the fact that they have aerated the greens or fairways this would have made my mind up to have played somewhere else I do love playing wintonberry it’s a great golf course and normally in good shape but at least have the decency to let people know when it’s not in the best of condition,
I understand this is necessary but a bit of honesty goes a long way the greens were impossible to putt on !!!!
