Black at D. Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course

Played the Black Course today. This track has gone from a rock to a gem in a few years time. Greens were in great shape. The fairways cut nicely giving good roll to any drives you put in the center. Course has a lot of character especially the back 9. Really enjoyed the lay out.

Nothing better than the 18th hole at the wheel.

Great course for the money. Greens were awful

The black course is very challenging you have to position your ball on certain parts of the fairway or you can end up in trouble. the course is very hilly if you don't hit your ball where your aiming you can easily lose 20-50 yards. so if your up to a good challenge this is the course for you.

It was a beautiful day on one of the first weekends the course was open. Greens were in pretty good shape and so were the fairways. With the winter we had, I was pleasantly surprised.

My buddy & I played the Black Course (there's also a Red Course) & the walking rate was $15 for 18 holes. It is December after all, so the course was definitely in winter conditions with temperature around low 40's, but definitely warm enough if you layer up (I had a turtleneck, windshirt, sleeveless light fleece & my FJ raincoat & pants...plenty warm). Course is a little hilly on the back more than the front (I was cruising on the front, but slowed down a little on the hillier back since I usually take a care a cart, but walked due to temperature...my buddy who walks a lot had a much easier time of it). All in all, a great workout. Holes were fairly long from the white tees (about 6279 yards with a par 71) making it feel really challenging when you add the temp, wind & elevation. My buddy beat me 3 ways so I'm probably being a little critical, butI really enjoyed the course & would definitely go back again. An interesting fact is that it is located in Fairfield, but is owned by the city of Bridgeport.

Some really tough holes and some easy holes...overall a good challenge and finished the round in under 4 hours

Nice layout and good conditions for this time of the season. It was not too crowded so it was a very enjoyable round.

Great Place......Course was in very good condition...
Will definitely return

All in all I would play this course again greens where good course was in good shape

The price was very good and that's probably the only reason I played here

Course couls have been better on the greens, but overall not bad.

Classic course that is in much better condition than a few years ago, but still has a way to go. Greens are slow and the area around the greens are very spotty, thick grass , thin areas, rocks etc make " getting up and down a :crapshoot"
We started late in the day and the back nine we had 2 groups on each tee, for no reason.
The personnel at this course, are hands down the grumpiest and most non friendly people you can encounter. Almost like they are told to be angry and mean.

this course is not bad. fairway condition was not good. they need to maintain fairway condition.

great condition and good time on the course and in the 19th hole

The only caveat was the speed of the greens, a little slow, otherwise we had a great day of golf!

Got a great rate, plus after the rain we were an early group going out. 18 holes in less than 3 hours is a rarity these days

This place has come a long way. I would recommend it to anyone now.

The staff was very nice and helpful. The course was in great condition except for a few patchy spots. All in all a fund golfing experience.

Should of read the fine print,this was a walking rate which was only six dollars less than the courses rate with a cart,not a deal

Played here Sat with my brother. Pace of play was really good..4 hrs and 15 mins. Course was in good condition and staff was very nice
