At the par-5 eleventh, the pond that guards the green may not seem all that threatening from this view. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

…But most players will experience a heightened concern for the water hazard as they hit approaches toward the narrow putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

A huge pond looms large over much of hole fifteen. On the approach lies a landing zone, however, for those who want to run the ball onto the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

A line of reeds suggests the presence of water prior to green seventeen at this beauty of a par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

Here is the pond and the green–a tough target for your approach at Tallwood’s 17th. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/11/2024

Tallwood’s second hole, a mere 302 yards, plays as a tight and tricky par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023
-
The par-4 fifth hole doglegs right and plays uphill to this enormous green, tilted strongly from back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023
-
Bold, long-hitting golfers might want to take a crack at reaching green 11 in two shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

Twelve is a classic, uphill par-4 of 384. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

A group prepares to tee off at twelve (as seen across green thirteen). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

Although it can bring misery, the par-4 fifteenth is still fair enough. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/22/2023

Four: One of my playing partners approaches the green, where his approach landed tight to the flag. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

The fifth is a beastly but still quite playable four-par, its fairway rising uphill all the way to this large, contoured green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

Seven: The first task is to miss the fairway bunkers; the second to fly the greenside pair. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

Eight: At this par-4 (index 3), I’ve heard a few expletives muttered—including my own—on many occasions. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/17/2020

Great day
Course is always in great shape. Great layout with just enough hills to make it interesting. No blind shots make it easier to play.
I’ve been playing here since 1974. The course conditions were a little rough back then but they have been great for the last 25+ years.

Overall excellentl course
When we arrived after driving an hour, we were told the house was walking only. They said they had sent me a text but I never received one. I’m 78 years old and nursing plantar faccitis so walking the course was horrible to say the least. The course was in beautiful condition but understandably the greens were dead slow which made for some interesting commentary.

Nice Not Great
You can only expect so much this early in the season. But having a Marshal keeping pace of play should not be seasonal.

Great course for the price
Friendly staff. The greens were awful aerated dressed and unhealed but nothing is growing so can’t be helped on 12/31. Leaves were gone and the staff was great. They have all the amenities. Putting green pitching green with sand traps and a range. Regardless of the conditions which were out of their control it’s great to have a place of this quality to play in the Connecticut winter. I’ve played here a few times during the spring and summer and it’s always a good experience
