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

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

Golfer Reviews
Get a cart
We started off the back nine walking and I couldn't believe how hilly this course was ! The front 9 is definitely more flat and walkable but I WILL take a cart from now on. The layout is beautiful but they need a lot of money to fix the bunkers. I shot 40 on the hilly back and 46 on the easier flatter front, typical !!! This was my first time playing this course and I would come back. This round was played right in the middle of the Corona Virus restricted rule limitations so I think I would have scored better if the cones in the holes didn't keep my balls from falling in. We were betting so we were all playing with the same rules, no gimmies...
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Chris. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. @LaurelViewCountryClub thanks you!

Corona golf
I only chose the course due to its availability during the shutdown of all other courses, but I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived to find a nice course layout and friendly staff. I will definitely take the two hour trip to play this course again soon. Week worth it

Place is an absolute joke
Owner good guy, employees atrocious. Been going here 20 years and place is completely run down to basically an open field. Hot deal said cart included, dude charged me extra 25$ to get cart after calling golf now confirming I was right. Will literally never go here again please don’t contribute to this joke of a golf course.
Hello, Jay. We appreciate you reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for any confusion regarding the purchase of your round. We always want to make sure our golfers are clear about their purchase before checking out. We ask that you contact GolfNow customer service at 1 (800) 767-3574 for clarity. Please have your confirmation number handy. Thank you for playing Laurel View Country Club.
What potential
This course has a ton of potential. 2 par fours on the front over 450 into the wind, 250 yard par 3. Legit length but condition is pretty poor. Literally no carts at the course. Tough walk as is very hilly but this place has a lot of potential if someone put some $$ into it
Hi. Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back at Laurel View Country Club!
Save your money, go somewhere else
Course is poorly taken care of. Not even good enough to be charging 25 for 9 more like 15 for 9 would be fair based on the current conditions. Never going here again unless it’s free. Not worth your money
Give me a refund and do not sell when it is close
I booked tee time 1104 DEC 23 for two players.
When I got to the golf club, it is close.
Then I met a staff and he said to me that he doesn't understand
why golfnow sold tee time even though Laurel View asked golfnow not to sell tee times.
So, anyhow get me a refund, and it's so disapointing and annoying.
Why did you rate the course condition and everything else as poor if you didn’t even play the course? Now the course will get a lower aggregate rating from someone who was merely the victim of a technical glitch. That’s why it’s hard to rely on reviews, too many grumps out there...
Hello. We appreciate you reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the experience you had with your booking. We understand a refund has been issued so we're glad the situation was resolved; however, if you have additional questions, we ask that you contact GolfNow customer service at 1 (800) 767-3574. Please have your confirmation number handy. Thank you for choosing Laurel View Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
SLOW PLAY
Sadly it's mid November,colder for sure. Had to deal with horribly slow play. It's winter rules,no need for 4 practice swings. Grip it and rip it. Have respect for players behind you.
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Laurel View Country Club.

The Rookie
My first time here and the weather was cold and raining. This is autumn, a lot of leaves. I thought the layout was good. I still had a great time. I will definitely be back. The pictures of the course don’t do it justice.

We work hard to provide an exceptional experience, and it's very satisfying to hear from golfers like you who appreciate our efforts.

The rookie
This is autumn so there were leaves all over the course that’s to be expected. I thought it was a good layout and I’ll go back. The weather was cloudy and light rain. Welcome to Connecticut

Good value for the money
We played on a nice fall weekday. Able to take our time as the course was not crowed. Course was in good condition. The greens were a little slow but of course you could adjust. Only complaint was the grill was not open when we finished. Would have like a light meal after the great 18 holes we played. But I am sure that there were not enough players there to justify opening it. I will play here again
Good day on a nice track but traps are a no play
Pro was wonderful, carts are new and great. Don't call the traps sand traps. They are boulder, rock and stone traps. Hit out of two lifted the other two. Had to move literally 8 inch boulder to hit one of my trap shots. Clay traps not sand. Rebuilding traps as some have white sand. I didn't hit into any of those so I can't comment on them. About 20% of traps have been rebuilt. First cut around greens is burnt and baked in too many places. Greens are good with a good roll and good speed. Worth the $'s but lift out of traps. Cart paths are going to destroy the new carts.
Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the sand traps is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. As you mentioned, we have a project to tile the bunkers and restore them. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can continue to make improvements, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Laurel View Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed from your round with us. Thanks for choosing @LaurelViewCountryClub!

Good course, great value
I’ve been a regular at this course for years and enjoyed many wonderful rounds here with my girlfriend and friends. Course has a great layout with many fun holes. Front 9 is long and wide, back 9 is shorter and narrow with obstacles making it a very fun and somewhat challenging course for an intermediate golfer. Though the course has never been in top-notch shape (mostly the bunkers, but hey, you shouldn’t be in the sand anyway), the conditions are good enough to be unbothered and they have been working hard to fix up the place. Staff is very friendly and the new golf pro is a great guy who is very respectful, along with his awesome dog! Best part about this course is the excellent value. The course is also quite empty if you go at the right times, allowing you to cruise through a round with ease. Love this place, and I will continue to play here for years to come!
Hello, and thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the price of our course is important to us. We always want to make sure we are offering golfers a competitive price for their round. It is our goal to give visitors the best chance to get out and play more. Thank you for playing @LaurelViewCountryClub. We hope to see you again soon.

Talk about perfect
I've been coming to Laurel View for the past few years regularly. First of all, for the price, no one should ever complain. Laurel View probably has some of the best deals in all of Connecticut. The course has gradually been getting nicer over the years and you can tell the staff is doing all they can to improve conditions. Making these changes on the golf course (fixing up cart paths, bunkers, greens) obviously will take some time. If you complain about wanting them done so bad, how about you donate a million bucks and hire more grounds crew yourself. For people who have been there regularly and say they need more water coolers...the time will come, for now just BRING YOUR OWN WATERS...they will not yell at you. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating (having the dog Stanley around is an added bonus). Course can get crowded at times but that's just like anywhere else. The staff will be nice enough to send you off the back 9 if they know the front is packed. There's other days that the course is wide open and you can breeze through it. I can't say enough good things about this course, staff and what they're doing to improve it. It's a challenging course for a beginner but once you get used to it, you learn how to attack and play every hole in no time. This course will fore-ever be my golf home and I can't wait to see continuous improvements for years to come.
Hello, and thank you for your kind words! We are happy to be your golf home, and we hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing @LaurelViewCountryClub.
