Eight, the island green, has a suburban backdrop. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/26/2023

The par-3 ninth green. The tee shot must cross a sizeable pond to find this putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/26/2023

After a long drive, my playing partner pitches safely onto the first green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2022

First hole, again: As seen from its left flank. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2022
-
The tee shot at the 181-yard, par-3 sixth often flirts with the marshy stream to the right of the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2022
-
The Island Green (at eight) presents a classic feel at any time of year. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2022
-
The opening drive at one. Avoid the road on the left; the screen on the right will ‘save’ low tee shots from OOB. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021
-
The first green. It will test your pitching game should you miss left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021
-
Hole two is the number one index. More than hinting at that is its small landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021
-
We saw this skittish deer starting to cross fairway three. For some reason, it chose not to--and turned around. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021
-
At five, a par-five, you’ll need two excellent shots to come even close to this green, pitched back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021
-
Eighth: The island green as seen from its right flank. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

Eight: A trio of geese in the foreground; a trio of golfers at the green, background. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
The first. Architect Geoffrey Cornish designed this stunning, roadside par-4 to get the game underway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
Second Hole: This narrow putting surface is a tight target, even with wedge in hand. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
Fifth: par-5, 483. The tranquil Glastonbury woodland is part of # five’s backdrop. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
Seven: One of the members of my foursome, Mike (aged 16), rehearses his backswing before teeing off. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
Seven. Short but tricky hole that demands two solid shots to hit this bi-level green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/16/2021
-
Photo submitted by Philip6456320 on 04/11/2021

The first: a threesome putts out amid fall foliage. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020
-
Second: If there can be two signature holes among nine, they have to be this and the eighth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020
-
Second green: Green conditions at Minnechaug were ideal today. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020

Green seven. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020

The 8th. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020

The handsome ninth green is a rather small target (seen from left side). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/08/2020
-
An ultra-tight hole—number 2. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020
-
Short but tricky: the par-5 third. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020
-
A bit longer and even more deceptive: number five. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020
-
Six is one of three excellent par-3's here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020
-
The 7th green is tucked behind a massive bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020

It's fairly easy to miss the ninth green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/08/2020

Hole 3: An interesting short par-five, bending left and guarded on that side by a tall, protruding tree. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020
-
Sixth: Great three-par that must carry over this marsh—which also guards green’s left side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020
-
Seventh tee and fairway: hole doglegs right with a huge cloverleaf bunker in the elbow. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020

The island green eighth, located on Island Green and Fairway Crossing Roads. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020
-
The lesser known ninth also features a terrific setting. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020
-
Up in the weeks, I got this pic of one: this massive leftward dropoff dearly penalizes those unfortunate souls who miss here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
From behind two's narrow green we see the tightness of entire tee-to-green experience. How straight can you hit a golf ball? Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
Five: You'll need a 300-yard-drive to be in this zip code; it's another buck-eighty-five to reach the green in the distance. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
From behind six: small green to be hit with a mid-iron; a stream threatens slicers. Fabulous hole! Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
Serene setting at green eight. Serenity is often disrupted, however, by splashing golf balls. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
Nine: This pretty finisher is fronted by huge pond, seen here from the green's left side. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020
-
The 2nd: Best 4-par here; truest test of tee-to-green accuracy. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020
-
The 3rd: Looking back at green complex and fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020
-
Four: Solid driving hole favoring a drawn shot around trees. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020
-
Five: Cleverly positioned tree on left may wreak havoc with second shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020
-
Eight: classically proportioned island green, the first one of its kind in Connecticut. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020

Nine: My son (far right) hitting pitch shot about to collide with flagstick (His ball is airborne). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/04/2020
