Richter Park Golf Course

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.

Absolutely a beautiful public track. Front nine crisscrosses over lakes with spectacular views. Back nine is more hilly and wooded. Staff is always friendly and willing to accommodate if possible. My town course seems to have lots of people who can't play, take forever, and hit at you fairly often mostly because they have no idea where the ball is going. The cliental at Richter are more polite and golf savvy which makes for a nice round of golf.

The pace of play was very poor. It took us nearly three hours to play nine holes. My son and I were in a cart and placed with a third person who was walking. There was a group of eight players together two groups ahead of us. The groups were stacked on top of each other with not enough time between tee times. The play was not regulated appropriately.

This is a very nice course and well maintained. It is normally a fun course to play, but was very frustrating to have sat more than played during our round. We payed to play 18 and barely got the 9 holes in before dark.
