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

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

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 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

Challenging and Casual
Sometimes you come to a 9 hole course not taking it very seriously and if you do that here, you’re in for a rough game.
The holes were challenging and there are some unforgiving green lies. There’s lots of thick woods and water to swallow up golf balls. Tight fairways and abundant sand traps will have you second guessing your club choices.
Gorgeous suburban Glastonbury as a backdrop to so much woods, trees, and water make spending time chasing your ball down relaxing and serene.
