At this excellent par-4, the third fairway curves around a large pond, a threat to both drive and approach shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/13/2022

The fifth is a long par-4 that plays downhill from a high tee, then on towards this sprawling green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/13/2022

Seven, a long par-3, is easily one of the course’s hardest holes–partly because it is so well protected by greenside bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/13/2022

Looking downhill over the long par-5 eighth, which may provide a birdie opportunity if you strike it well from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/13/2022

Laurel View looks wintry on this early-December day; behind green nine, few leaves hang from the boughs of the skeletal trees. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 12/13/2022

Short but testing, the par-4 third curves gently around a pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/17/2021

The immense and carefully sculpted double-green shared by holes seven and nine. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/17/2021

Ten: This par-4 is a terrific ‘target’ styled hole that culminates on a plateau green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/17/2021

Fourteen: Par-5, 480. An outstanding risk-reward proposition whose green can be hit in two. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/17/2021

One. 354-yard par four. The 13-index opens things up somewhat gently, yet the green is well-bunkered. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

Three, par-4, 423. The hole plays downhill but to a tight landing zone guarded by the pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

The 492-yard, par-5 fifth is tempting for big hitters. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

Seven, par-3, 249. It’s easy to see why this is the toughest three-par on the golf course. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

Eighth. This long 5-par (579) is open enough for swinging away from the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

Sixteen will require your best drive to this tight, dog-legging fairway. The second shot is no picnic, either. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/29/2021

Heading in the right direction
Turning out to be a great spot. Rough around the edges but they’re renovating and it looks promising
Thanks so much for the great review, carlosumana98. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Laurel View Country Club.
Laurel View is on the way back
I have played this course multiple times over the last 10 years. This is the first season in a number of years where the conditions were almost ideal. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent shape. Bunkers are still poorly maintained. Had a perfect day of weather during my round, and pace of play was great for a Sat. morning round. For the price, well worth a trip to Hamden.
Thank you for your review and feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the excellent conditions of the tee boxes, fairways, and greens during your recent visit. We apologize for the poor maintenance of the bunkers and appreciate your understanding. We value your patronage and hope to see you again soon in Hamden. Thanks for choosing The VUE.
Hi, Brian4529107. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Laurel View Country Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Off my golf list
They charge us $50 per outdated cart, because I got t-time on GolfNow. Never will go there again.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused during your visit regarding the pricing of the carts. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future improvements. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Hello, u314163372696. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Laurel View Country Club.
Well groomed
Very nice course. Greens and fairways were in great condition. Well managed. Many hills on course. Good layout and challenging but not narrow enough to be too aggressive. Well worth the price. Nice carts as well.
Your feedback is important to us, u983457774. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Laurel View Country Club.

Hi, millerg44. We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Laurel View Country Club!
Course needs work
Primary complaint is the condition of the cart paths. Very difficult to drive on. Played with person with bad back and he was not happy. Front nine holes are too tight together. And back very hilly.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the condition of our cart paths and the layout of the course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our facilities. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
To earn a fifth star the club should finish the clubhouse and bathrooms, pave all the cart path, and provide gold tee markers consistently.

Very impressive!
This was the first time playing Laurel View in nearly two years. The last time I played it, they were in the early stages of making renovations, which were badly needed. This course had been neglected and in disarray for years. When I drove up there this past Friday, I was blown away! Major tree work was done! It was totally unrecognizable and looked like a brand new course. The clubhouse has been upgraded and they were in the final stages of putting in a brand new driving range. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape. Many of the sand traps were redone. Absolutely loved what they did!!! Unfortunately, I only got to play 13 holes, as heavy rain, wind and thunder made it impossible to play the final five holes. I was impressed with what I saw so far. They are still doing a lot of work, so don’t expect it to be visually pristine just quite yet. By next year at this time, I can guarantee this will be the “Hidden Gem of CT.” Very happy for everyone involved with the revitalization project of Laurel View. Great job and I definitely look forward to playing this course again this year.
Thank you for your review, Jojiman. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Laurel View Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
This was my first time visiting the VUE but I had a fantastic experience! The course is well kept and equally challenging. I would recommend this course to any and all golfers!

The course was beautiful and amazing experience!
The course has changed so much over the past couple of years and it is an amazing experience! Pace of play was smooth and the staff was friendly and helpful! Anyone looking to play a challenging course and have a great time I would highly encourage checking out the VUE.

Greatly improved in recent years
Course was in excellent condition except for bunkers. No sand. All hard packed with rocks and gravel throughout. Pace of play wasn’t great. No rangers out keeping slower groups moving. Overall was well maintained and greens and tee boxes were pristine.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, John127. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Laurel View Country Club thanks you!
Needs work.
A goog track undergoing lots of change. Construction is everywhere. No rakes for sand traps. Should be good in 2 years.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing changes and construction at our golf course. We are working to improve the facilities, and we hope that you will visit us again in the future when the upgrades are complete. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Well maintained, great scenery awful pace of play, very crammed holes
Pace of play was just awful, there was about a pile up of 5 groups all moving slow as can be and the holes are all so close together there were people all over the place it was hard to breathe
