Richter Park Golf Course

This course used to be better but it can no longer justify its current high ratings. Sure there are some nice views with the water but it's not that great of a layout. All the doglegs go left to right. Conditions have declined over the years and several greens still show signs of damage from trouble a couple of years ago. Greens were long and slow. Course does not drain well and there was a lot of standing water to slosh through. As a non resident I can think of many other places I would rather play in season price for that price. Very limited practice areas still.

Richter Park is always one of the best public courses in the NY, CT area. Fantastic layout, water, elevation changes, you name it. Course is always in great shape but can get backed up at times. Look for deals as there are usually cheaper rates at certain times. If you're a Danbury resident its dirt cheap.

Course was in decent shape seemed to be one of the first rounds of the new season and we had taken a lot of rain the week prior so all in all I was quite pleased with the shape of the course and the staff was excellent

Always a great experience. Staff is terrific and the restaurant is also excellent.

course was in good shape, pace of play was good and they have rangers on the course working to keep things moving.

Always love going and playing and the restaurant is excellent too!

Played yesterday with my buddy. The groups in front of us were slow and we ended up finishing in about 5 hours. We played last year and we had the ranger coming around every now and then. We finished in 4h20m last year. Back to yesterday: The course conditions were good. Some greens were a little beat up, but they were rolling true. The course could use some upkeep and someone to come around and blow some leaves like at other courses (Centennial). Other than that, I will definitely make the journey at least once a year in the fall for the foliage alone.

Great layout, challenging course, greens so-so, need aereation. Trouble was no rangers, so it was slow because a twosome in front of our foursome had the lady play 2 balls and she was not that fast.

Please enforce prompt play !

Our foursome agrees that Richter Park was possibly the bargain on the summer. Even at the regular rate, the course is a good value. Conditions were very good. Elevation changes and water water everywhere offered sufficient challenges without being gimicky. The pace of play was very good -- I was thinking I'd play 9 and managed to squeeze in 14 (had to run to a meeting). Confession snacks was very reasonably priced which is always a bonus. My only regret is I live three hours away or else I'd play all the time!

Even though we followed an outing, pace of play wasn't that bad, 4 1/2 hrs. Fairways were good, the greens are little banged up. For the lack of rain this year, overall conditions were very good.

Slick, large greens present an additional challenge to a course that requires all the clubs in your bag.

Course was in great shape and the staff was very friendly. Decently challenging course with lots of blind tee shots and position holes. Only complaint is that if the course is even slightly busy, they try to pair everyone up as foursomes.

Very happy I looked at golfnow to find a reasonable tee time at a great price for Richter. The 2 other players we got paired up with paid twice what I did. Hope to find again!!

We played mid morning on a sunday and there was at least 4 rangers helping on the blind holes to let you know when it was fine to hit. Love the layout and greens are solid and just a fun place to play. Drove up from westchester to play and one of my favorite places to play public golf.

Love the many water holes !!!

great day out with my sons. SOOO much better than work

Played Richter on July 3 for the first time in 3 years. It was always one of my favorite courses and did not disappoint! Course is in excellent condition, greens are fast and true, fairways are lush. Definitely worth a visit!
