Richter Park Golf Course

It’s summer. It’s hot. It’s the golfer’s responsibility to bring water…

However, it was nearly a 100 heat index yesterday and the beverage cart came by one time. The food/bev shack was closed when we made the turn at 5:07, and there was zero water available on the course.

If you’re not going to allow coolers, please provide the basic essentials necessary to stay hydrated or at the very least, alert potential customers that they are on their own for water.

We drive up from Long Island to Richter whenever we can. People are so nice and course is in great shape.

First time playing the course in 15 years. What a nice layout! Played with two golfers who play the course regularly. This helped big time, because there are a ton of blind shots, funky, sloping fairways and large greens. Played okay, but feel like not really remembering the course cost me more than a few shots. Will book again in the fall when the foliage begins to change. So picturesque and they do a great job involving the bodies of water in the layout. Wonderful and inviting staff!

The staff is super nice, range is in great shape and the course is fantastic. Worth the 75 minutes from Long Island.

Had a good day. Course was dry and ground was hard - if you missed the green your ball could be gone. And why are all par 3 over water - at least it seemed that way.

This is my home course and I love it! It is one of the best in Connecticut, but there are a few things that can be easily remedied to make it great. Mostly that involves filling the divots on the T each time the T markers are moved. The new T on 13 is already looking shabby because that has not been done. There are also several fairways where Carts cannot access and people forget to bring their Divot bottles with them. Those fairways are in desperate need of a concentrated divot-fill regimen. Great work on the sight lines/tree removal (don’t forget the choking vines climbing up the trunks!) and the green repairs. We’re proud of our course!

We played two different courses in the area within 30 miles) on consecutive days. The experiences could not have been more different. Both courses were challenging. Richter Park was challenging, but fun and fair. The staff at Richter Park could not have been better. (that was the biggest differnce between the two courses). Everyone at Richter Park, from the starter, to the pro shop staff, and the wait staff both on and off the course, was extremely friendly and accomodating. It was out first time and we could not have had a better experience. Thank you. We look forward to coming back.

Great setting. Teed off at 720 am and was done in 3.5 hours. Played white tees, not that difficult. Some quirky holes but overall a nice, gentle layout. Don’t need driver on most of the par 4s. Conditions were very decent especially given amount of play. A tier 1 muni but not sure it’s in the elite muni category.

Poor up-keep overall. Over-grown, very slow and bumpy greens, quite a few greens with severe bare areas. Very firm and compacted bunkers - bunker edges in terrible shape. Cart paths badly eroded in places.

One of the best municipal golf courses north of NYC. Great layout with views of reservoir. Friendly, helpful staff.
