Richter Park Golf Course

The course was green and well maintained. Very nice experience overall

I’ll start by saying this is an amazing public facility, the front nine was stunning and magnificent with most holes bordering the lake on that side of the road, once you cross the road into the woods the course clearly has some issues with drainage, 3 fairways were in bad shape but I don’t know if there’s anything they can do they are low lying and collecting water and recieve limited sunlight. Dont let this stop you going there, people were amazing, from

The starter Frank to the cart girl Brianna it’s a great place to golf and they had rangers out and we played in 4 hours on a holiday weekend

Great layout. I’m originally from Danbury and am in my 50’s so I was around when Richers was pristine.

In recent years I’ve heard some negativity but had no negative experiences this time. I don’t play there often as I’ve moved away but the last two times past two years has been fine.

Fantastic layout, best around, scenic, etc. Although last time I was unimpressed with the attitude of the Bossman informing the Pro shop how there were no rain checks. I understand the policy, but interpersonal behavior should be a higher priority in my view.

None of that this time but only dealt with teen in pro shop and starter. Both very pleasant.

Good to see rangers on the course as well.

The fro n t nine is in excellent shape and pace of play was terrific. We finished in 4.15 hours.

The back nine has three holes that need serious attention and it takes away from the entire experience.

However, the staff listened and we will certainly return to play again.

Have not played here since 2020, course is challenging with lots of elevation changes and hazards. Many fairways are in real bad shape, worse than the rough. Pace of play was really slow. They squeezed in a small practice range next to no 10,.. have to careful, got hit by a practice ball goin up to 10th green although they put up a net. Practice ball all over 18th fairway too. Many fairways like 11,14,16 are basically swamps, cart paths only. Some greens are in pretty bad shape too.

The layout is fantastic and it must be very scenic with foliage. The conditions were generally good, with the exception of standing water in a couple of low lying fairways adjacent to the humus bogs. We had significant rainfall the night before so we weren’t surprised, but either better drainage or elevating these fairways would be an improvement. The remaining course was very good considering the rain and we’ll definitely be returning.

Great course. The starter was very rude and disrespectful.

Read about it on golf now and played for first time , had fun day , course was in good shape , greens , tees and fairways all good here, overall would play if I lived closer otherwise wouldn’t drive when can play same closer

ranger needs to do a much better job of moving groups along. 5 hours to play 18 holes is ridiculous, you can’t get any rhythm going.

Richter was a convenient location for the foursome, who all came in from different directions. I've played here 4 or 5 times, and this will be the last. I forgot how goofy the layout was. I forgot how painfully slow the greens were. I forgot how lazy the pace was.

Two of the 4some are single digit players who hit a long ball. We played the white tees to keep the vibe with the other 2 fun. It's no fun hitting 3 woods and hybrids of the tees. Holes 6,7,8, on the front are poorly designed. You'll need a seeing eye cart to deal with the blind shots. 12 is a par 5 where a straight 250 drive can wind up in the left woods. 15 is a mushy fairway and yet another hybrid of iron off the tee. The worst of the holes is 18. A 180 yard tee shot to to the center of this sharp dog leg right (driving range OB just beyond) leave 220 in. Ridiculous.

Food and beers were great.

First time at Richter and was impressed with the layout, staff and amenities. Unfortunately though course conditions were disappointing especially tee boxes and many fairways on the back nine which were very poor.

Course is probably worth a look for locals but not to drive over an hour as we did given the current course conditions.

If you love a challenge, this is the coarse for you. Although the fairways were not in the best condition, likely from past weather conditions, the greens were in good shape.

The staff was very friendly and professional and pace of play was pretty good. Looking forward to playing here again.
