Player at Lyman Orchards Golf Club

We were warned that it was a tough golf course to walk in though we heated the warning we found it OK just that some of the walks in between holes was pretty long. T
The only other drawback is that a lot of the roofs were extremely tall and long and much too challenging for the average golfer.
The course was in great shape and we definitely would come back and play it again in the near future

Played my last round at Lyman. What a disaster! Whoever manages this course should be fired. No driving range on a Tuesday because they do "work on it". Another employee tells us "the ball dispensing machine doesn't work". We then have the same issue on an extraordinarily busy saturday. STILL no driving range.

And let's just make playing there EVEN worse....

I get having cart-path-only after some rain. But by 1 pm, 90% of the holes on the Player course were easily drivable. And the carts are all updated via some wifi to restrict their access to the course. Maybe lazy manager/superintendent guy can drive the course to open up most of the holes so we don't have to endure a 5 hour and 30 minute round. PLUS they let the rough grow so long that all the players hitting into the rough on the other side from the cart path have to walk across, then walk up and down looking for their ball wasting even more time.

This course is so poorly managed. There are far better places to play in CT.

The cart paths are becoming downright dangerous and need to be re-paved throughout. Also, someone should trim back the branches and foliage overhanging on the paths. The tee boxes also need some serious attention. Its not worth $75-85 per round in its current state.

Not quite worth the price paid. 2/3's of the course are blind shots. I'm talking tee shots AND second shots from the middle of the fairway on par 4's. The course wasn't in great condition. Not even close in comparison with the Jones course on the same facility.

Good course with a couple really screwy holes, #8 is pathetic from blue and black tees. Course in Good shape but greens too slow for my liking. Played on Saturday afternoon 3pm not very busy and pace of play was excellent. Good fun!

The routing on this course is suspect. So many blind shots on the first nine and criss-crossing all around to get from 2 to 3, 5 to 6, 13 to 14, makes your head spin. If you like “Quirky” then, this course is for you. The greens were excellent and the fairways in good condition. The staff were awesome, the pro shop and restaurant were good.

Fairways and greens were very good, Tee boxes were not good at all.

To all those who are complaining about the rough……stop hitting your ball in there. Brilliant!

Great round with two nice guys. Fun day and we will be back for another round soon.

First time playing this course. Many blind holes that made this a challenge. Fun course to try again. Greens are in nice shape.

Third time out, great track, great staff, a few “unfair” holes but fun

Love the layout . Greens very slow . rough was ridiculous thick and like that on most holes . Couldn’t even see the ball . The holes with Rough cut had way too many grass clippings . Realize we had a lot of rain but never seen the course in this bad shape in a long time . Also the cart paths need work . So much potential .

Never seen rough so long. 0 chance of finding your ball unless you hit the tiny fairways. Would not recommend this course unless your hitting the fairway every time. Otherwise greens were in good shape and pretty challenging course

Good conditions especially the greens but they should be a lot faster. What is the deal with hole #8, pathetic design, need to shave hill on the entire right side so balls roll back to fairway. Best comment I heard on golf course design was "Gary Player screwed up a perfectly good apple orchard!"

The Player's course is not for the golfer who can't control his shots. Shot placement is crucial. The greens are very fast and the pin placements are often difficult to reach. If you enjoy a challenge this course is for you.

It was not cart path only when I booked the tee time! When we arrived we were not made aware of the conditions until we teed off.It was very difficult to walk on the hills especially considering I have knee issues . It’s a fairly difficult course with a lot of blind tee shots even without the cart only conditions. The rough was very long because of the recent wet weather and next to impossible to get out of. I quit after 9 which was over 2 1/2 hours. The views, however, were beautiful!
