Richter Park Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated at the heart of Fairfield County, Richter Park Golf Course is situated along the West Lake Reservoir. The course has been ranked among not only the top ten golf courses in Connecticut but also as one of the top 25 public courses in the country. The course sprawls across more than 180 acres of gently rolling hills. Water has a prominent presence throughout, with the Reservoir bordering seven holes on the front nine and water hazards coming into play on a total of 14 holes. In addition to the water, there are a variety of elevation changes ranging from subtle to dramatic, which can make it a tough golf course to play your first time. Be prepared for a few blind shots. Richter Park's signature hole, the par-5 12th, is bordered by Boggs Pond. Your third shot will be over water to a bunkered green.

Great course
Course is challenging but fun. Really nice layout. Greens were in good shape.
Pricey - worth it
$100 round for non resident still worth it. In beautiful condition fun layout friendly staff. Has everything you want out of a round.
Excellent and Challenging Course
Awesome challenging course with unique and picturesque holes. Always a favorite and they continue to improve the course!
Beautiful and challenging course. Love to play this course anytime.
Good Value
Good quality and conditions for the money. Greens are true. A lot of tight tee shots that take driver out of the hand of longer hitters. Overall a tough test of golf
