Great Course & Excellent Value

My buddy and I play here frequently. The staff is very friendly, they keep the schedule well, and the pace of play is excellent. We played in the morning and finished in just over 2 hours. The course gets it's fair share of play but it is in really nice shape with excellent greens. If you haven't played here, you are missing out on a 9-hole hidden gem.

Woodhaven neighborhood treasure

Don’t let the smaller clubhouse fool your impression of the 9 holes of 2 challenging Par5’s; undulating greens; blind hots; sloping greens that challenge the most stiffmeter ready putter; the entire property is welcoming, secluded, and overall a great value for the Walter or rider!

Plan ahead to ensure not playing behind tournaments and leagues!

Told we were too slow and when we said it is only our 5 th time golfing . He said we should not be on course . We should be practicing hitting balls .. Course marshal was rude and condescending. There was no one behind us waiting . We always let people go ahead of us rather than wait for us .. He came twice for us to speed up and split 2 and 3 instead of 3 and 2 . We had two parties and 2 tee times .. .. He stressed my husband so he didn’t even play - wasted $30 .. . . Though second court marshal who took his place was very nice and even took time to show me how to hold club ….. Told us we should take no more than 10 swings each and then move along … He was very sweet . Different approach and attitude goes a long way … Though my husband still didn’t play … This was the second time we golfed at this course and the last time ….The first court marshal yelled at us the first time also…… We have no problem at Milford Golf Course …

Dew chaser

Had the first tee time on Father’s Day. (6am)

We were there 20 mins before tee time and the staff showed up at tee time. The course is a great layout with fluffy bunkers and slippery greens.

Gotta play below the hole on half the holes because the greens are tricky to say the least.

A six ft putt can past the hole 20 ft on down hill putts. Aside from that frustration it is a hidden gem.

Hidden gem & great value!

Woodhaven is a very unassuming place, hidden in the backwoods of Bethany - with probably some of the best kept, toughest greens in CT. No issues with booking a Sunday tee-time, not crowded and no issues walking. Plenty of variety in the holes and layout, and IMO better kept greens than some high-end courses. I walked with my son, and we finished in just over 2 hours - lots of up and down, good workout.

Pace of play

While I understand it’s busy on a beautiful Sunday afternoon you should still have a marshal out there monitoring pace of play. There were several gaps and play was extremely slow.

I have been playing this course for at least 10 years the previous owner had someone there making sure people kept up with the group in front of them.

Challenging 9-hole Course with Excellent Greens

This was a last-minute booking to squeeze in 9 holes on a Sunday afternoon - good deal for the course, $25 with a cart yet I decided to walk and get some exercise. Nice layout, plenty of variety for average golfers like me. Greens were spotless, better than some higher-end courses in the area.
