Jones at Lyman Orchards Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Lyman Orchards in Middlefield is a favorite spot for families because of the nearly 100 varieties of pick-your-own fruit, but it's popular with golfers as well, boasting both a Robert Trent Jones-designed course and one designed by Gary Player. There is also the Apple Nine Course. Situated along the banks of the Connecticut River, the orchards provide the perfect setting for a round of golf. The Jones Course has a diverse terrain, offering dramatically rolling hills on the front nine and a back nine that is routed through woodlands and wetlands. Water comes into play on a total of seven holes on the back and there are more than 40 bunkers strategically placed along the severely sloped greens. Accurate drives and irons will be generously rewarded but it's not overly punishing for high handicappers.

Great November round
Can’t complain too much when you are golfing in CT on November 29! Wet, 2.5 hour frost delay, cart paths only, it was awesome!!’ LOL. Great staff, Restaurant so so, no driving range (closed), refreshment cart, not so good. Course is a nice layout and well maintained.
Great November Day at Lyman --- But Cold....
Lyman Jones Course-- 2nd time playing it.... nice layout.....very good shape for a cold November day in the 40's. Green pretty quick considering they were soft and punched a few weeks back. Staff is very courteous....Got out before our booked tee time--- finished the round on a Sunday in 4 Hours and 15 mins
Course is always in good condition
Snow/Frost delay. This after the rainy couple of days last week. Cart Path only, not a surprise and was not an issue. Pace of play was good even with cart path only, just glad we could get out given the weather the days leading up to Saturday.
Staff is always very friendly.
Thank you for playing and thank you for your review! Hope to see you back again soon.

Fairways and Greens
The fairways were very nice today and so we’re the green. The greens looked like are playing fast but not the case. I like the openness for driving but good to stay within the fairways. Challenging at the same time. Good things is if you get in trouble use your irons. I think it’s key to this course. Enjoyed my experience today!
Thank you for playing and thank you for your review! We are glad you enjoyed your experience and we hope to see you soon.

Hi, Thank you for playing and thank you for your feedback. The maintenance crew has done a great job this year. We really do apologize for the beverage cart, that is unacceptable and will be dealt with. Lastly, on the forward tees, you are correct, the rating for the ladies tee is from the Gold. We do have the rating for the forward tees but they aren't on the scorecards until 2021. We have seen great enjoyment out of our new golfers from the forward tees this year.
Not in great shape
Course was a little burnt in spots and a few tees were in bad condition- have not played the Jones course in a lionh time-used to be immaculate
Hi, thank you for playing and thank you for your review. It's been a tough summer and we've been in desperate need of some rain. We finally got enough rain to refill the ponds and hopefully will be able to being our full watering program again. In another week or so, the course should be green again. Hope to see you back again soon.
Best value
The Jones course is in great shape- greens are beautiful. No sign the lack of rain has affected anything. Pace was great even though our group lost some balls. 2 notes: The cart girl literally was texting of on her phone as she drove right by us without looking up- not once, but twice. The Red tees are ridiculously close- actually on the fairway. If you usually play reds and want to be fair to your hc, play the golds- which appear to be where the reds are rated from.
Thank you for playing and thank you for your review. We are glad you found the course in great shape. Unacceptable from the beverage staff, we have already addressed the situation. Thank you again for playing and we hope to see you soon.
Diabolical pin placements!
Played the day before a tropical storm was due. Very warm, but breezy conditions. The course was in excellent shape, especially with the hot and dry conditions so far this year.
Whoever placed the pins on this particular day must have been a disciple of the Marquis de Sade. Pins were mostly tucked in corners behind bunkers, or put on or near the false front on several greens. Made for some interesting putts, since the greens were running pretty fast.
Thank you for playing and thank you for the review. Sorry that the pins were so difficult. Glad to hear you still had fun. Thank you!
Thank you for playing and thank you for the review! Hope to see you back again soon.
