3rd, par-4, 374 (blues): The fairway plays a bit uphill to this well guarded green. Water, hidden from view here, is to the left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022

4th, par-4, 435: Outstanding Al Zikorus-designed hole, featuring a rolling fairway and a green set upon a knoll. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022

6th, par-5, 570. A long 5-par. It will be a three-shotter for almost everyone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022
-
7th: par-4, 370. Woodhaven is a strong test of driving. Here, the downhill tee shot is tight, the approach more routine. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022
-
8th: par-3, 180. A tough tee shot faces you on this mid-range 3-par. Long is generally not good; left is worse. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022
-
9th, par-4, 400. The finisher favors a tee shot aimed down the left-hand side of this fairway, which tilts a bit left-to-right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/29/2022

Golfer Reviews
A hidden gem
You might pass by this course on the road and think it is just another driveway. It's a nice, compact layout, well maintained, with VERY TRICKY GREENS! Staff is most friendly and cooperative as any you could imagine. Good value for the money; well worth the trip. Rustic, and beautiful.
Great course, great game
Overall great place to play and enjoy the game. However my game was disturbed every time by the gnats flying all over my face constantly. Happy to come back and play again
Nice layout
Nice layout, narrow fairways, good greens, could do with some landscaping but that's the kind of course it is -- old and worn but with character.
Nice 9 hole course
Enjoyed the course. Decent variety of layout. Fair challenges. Greens in good condition. Need accurate drives on most holes. This day unfortunately had a lot nats on the greens only. Might of been a hatch or humidity
Hidden Gem
When you have time for a drive to the country, but not enough time for 18 holes, this si the course you should play. And any other time too!
This course has a challenging layout with tight fairways and sloping greens, and water. Fairways and greens are well maintained, pace of play is usually good. Great course.
If you like glitzy restaurants and beverage carts, and high-end pro shops, Woodhaven might not rate high on your assessment. If you want to play a fun, challenging, well maintained course, play Woodhaven!
great place
I enjoy playing Woodhaven. It is always in good shape. Most of the greens are very challenging. I can't really find a thing I would change except for the sand traps. Sometimes they are not raked well and if it has rained a good deal they can be hard and packed. The staff is always friendly. Always a good experience.
Going down hill fast
I play this course a lot it was a good bang for your buck but the last 2x I went the staff was awful! And not for nothing I come from Monroe Easton area I booked a one person tee time and they wanted to pair me with a few older guys the course wasn't busy at all maybe 9-11 cars and just a 2 some on the first tee box I refused to golf with them and offered to wait but the staff said they were so busy I couldn't play alone I sat in my car for 25 mins to see how many people showed up after the 2 some teeed off not one person the lady who was running it that day should stick to her regular Job of flipping hotdogs!!!!!!! So now I refuse to golf there! I booked a tee time @ Orange Hills in my car for 1 golfer I pulled up there and the parking lot was packed both lots were full but some how they got me out all by myself I'll be golfing there from now on sorry Wood Haven I know your struggling and could use all the business Paul you should deff keep the hotdog lady cooking the hotdogs not steering away business!!!!!!!!
Great Day
Best 9 hole course around, start off whit the white tees 1st 9 and Blue tees 2nd 9. you will be very happy with the course. Has a lot of character and the greens are the real deal. the condition, lay out and atmosphere feels like your on a private course. Be careful in using a Driver on a few holes but by using your irons off the tees puts you in good position for the green , the greens are true and putting into the grain you will have to hit them firm and they will stick on the approach shots.
Great 9 Hole Course - Don't Miss
I booked this on GolfNow for two players. I had never played here before and we went out right on time. The staff were tremendous from the very start and even offered to bring us bottled water on the course (which we accepted) because it was so hot out. The pace of play the entire round was perfect and we never had to wait on any holes. This is a challenging course and you need to keep your drives in the fairway. The greens were in very good condition just make sure to stay below the pin. My favorite hole was the 7th which offered a raised tee box for a downhill drive into the fairway with water on the left. Very scenic hole. Overall this was an absolutely great day and I will definitely be playing there again.. Tremendous value for a 9 hole course. Paul and staff are doing a great job. Thanks again for a great day out. Don't miss this hidden gem in Bethany.
I remember why I have been avoiding playing in the summer at Woodhaven. There is no place were the bugs will not eat you alive. And if they are not biting, they are in your ears, nose....... not just few here or there but swarms. One would think they will spend little money and spray. Not an enjoyable experience
A classic!
I travel from Pennsylvania every year to play with my brother in law on my birthday. This course is what golf is all about. It's a meat and potatoes course from the pro shop to the greens. A place to have a can of beer and a dog when you're through your round.The greens are wicked and true. Don't get caught above the hole! Trust me. Extremely challenging for any level player. The staff is super friendly and the ranger always keeps an eye on pace of play.
Not expecting such a challenge
This place has a great friendly staff. They have a small driving range - irons only. It reminds me of a course I would see on Shell Wonderful World of Golf back in the 60s & 70s. It is does not have very modern facilities but it does have one of the most challenging 9 hole courses I have every played and I have played many. The greens on this course are probably the toughest in the state of CT and the Northeast. They are in great shape and require the most concentration I have ever needed to make par once on in regulation. The tees are tough too with blind shots and shoots that challenge your course management skills. It you make the right choice off the tee you could have a good round. You have to keep your focus when approaching these greens. This course does not care if you are a long or short hitter, it does care if you have great course management and green reading skills. Stay focused.
Nice people
All the people were great...We had a great price on the first nine with Golf Now...When we went in to play another nine we were told it was $20 because we got such a deal on the first nine...I really don't think that's fair, the course is the one that gives times to all of these forums, that's on them...The course itself was ok...The course was in good basic shape...We thought the course needed an all around cutting...Nice layout overall...Sorry, but even with a $14.00 Hot Deal on the first nine, I feel $34 for 18 is steep on this course...
$20 is standard golfnow rate for 9. The $14 for first 9 is a great deal for this course! 18 holes runs $40 on golfnow so they did give you a discount on 2nd 9. I suggest next time booking 18 in order to get the best rate. Sorry if you feel $34 is steep but most who play this course would disagree.
The Friendliest Golf Course in CT
You know that experience when you arrive at a new golf course and the staff gives you that 'you're not a regular here, are ya?' kind of look? Well, you'll never get that at Woodhaven. The folks that run this place always seem appreciative and grateful that you're there. Although this is only a 9-hole course, it's a perfect location to get a short round in while simultaneously experiencing every form of golf challenge: doglegs left and right, uphill and downhill greens, and even a couple of blind tee shots. But of course Woodhaven is known for its challenging greens formations.
The place is great ! The bugs are definitely an issue... On the green especially... Still will play here but maybe it's time to be addressed...
