Type Public/Municipal
Par 71
Length 6547 yards
Slope 135
Rating 72.3

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.

Very nice, almost pristine.

Greens, tee boxes and fairways are just spectacular.

Not a beginners course. It's quite challenging.

Golf now confusion on tee times

We turned up for a Golf now reservation

Richter had cancelled the tee times and had two shot gun events

Not sure who to blame on communication breakdown

That said. Richter staff did their best and got us on the course and we played 16 holes

Solid Choice

Always been a big fan of Richter Park GC!

Long time local resident and one of our go to courses. Great value for your outing, with a bucket to warm up with. 3:45pm tee time on Mothers Day and the course wasn't jammed up. Starter had us tee off early and with a standard pace of play, we didn't have anyone knocking at our back door for the 18.

Pro shop is stocked and has a better selection than most. Everyone that we encountered working there was helpful and very accommodating

The Course was in great condition. Greens were a tad bumpy, but they must have been aerated a few days prior. I can let that slide as they got to get worked on sometime or another.

All in all, a great value and a great course. Looking forward to playing here a few more times this season.

And hit them straight. The course will reward you for staying on the fairway. Hurt you with water if you are not looking.

Do it....

Richter Park has always been great, And it is constantly getting better! New tee boxes last year. This year brings new stone walls on some of the spectacular water holes. All of the employees friendly and helpful. Rangers on point on a couple of blind holes.
