The Vue

I remember playing here in the 90s. A lot has changed for the worse.

Attendant locks entrance door to get carts. Searched for entry way having to pass through locker room exit.

We were informed there was a Womans league off at 9AM starting on 1 and 7. We had to find and start off at 6th hole with no course map on card. Behind group of 4 that were noisy who were eventually joined by another 2 some. Quite a bother following a 6some!

No course rangers to manage pace of play.

Although I have enjoyed playing here in the past, the lack of water combined with the shotty mowing has burnt out many places in the fairways. The greens are hard and not in very good shape. The roughs have poor grass causing the ball to not stop rolling and bouncing when it's off the fairway. The sand traps are like concrete and the cart paths are in such disrepair you can't drive on them in many places. Pease water this course! It uaee to be nice!

No on course amenities. No drinking water cart paths are brutally beat up and tee boxes have beat up old ball washers that don’t work.

Good course but upkeep is lagging. Amenities such as water on the course, ball washers, and sand in the traps were notably missing. Hope the mgmt can get it together, otherwise LV is going down.

I read a lot of reviews lately that the course was in awful shape. How untrue those reviews are. Greens were fast and true. The ball sat up nice in the fairway. Yes the bunkers do need work and the cart paths could also use some but overall the course is in pretty good shape. I wish the restaurant was open but it probably does not pay to open it on a slow Tuesday. I will be returning.

I was sad to return to Laurel View and find the course in such condition. The cart paths are rutted gullies, as if bombed. Bunkers have not been maintained, being no more than packed sand. Fairways and greens are OK.

Each of the last 5-6 years this course is declining . Greens are heavily diseased and the sand traps well aren’t sand! To bad there’s a lack care for this course it could be a really nice track.

Leaves covered most of the course. Lost 3 balls on the 1st 4 holes and 3 of my drives were on the fairway. I’ll go back in the spring and Summer but never again in the Fall.....

Great Challenge

If you play the Blue or Black tees and shoot a good score, you can play anywhere. Upkeep is that of a course struggling financially in these difficult golf times. Traps not racked, no pro shop to speak of, limited staff, etc.

A Great course to get a quality challenge(or beat up) and not break the bank. Original layout is wonderful. Long holes, tough dog legs with risk/reward, trouble everywhere off the fairway....This course will test you, but well worth the $$$$.....As soon as you finish you will want to play it again.

Where’s the starter?? Bunkers have grass and weeds in them. Rock hard bunkers also. Cart paths need desperate repairs. Is there a refreshment cart , I think not. No water to drink on the course on a warm day. Empty ball washers. Tattered flags need replacement. Tee boxes were grizzly. DON’T BOTHER PLAYING THERE, EVEN IF GOLFNOW HAS CHEAP RATES. YOU WILL REGRET IT!!!

The fairways and greens were in great shape with great views. All the ball washers were broken and there was no drinking water available on the course. Its wert playing at a discount price just bring your own beverages.

There are no drinking water for the entire course and over charges.

Live in Hamden so this is a easy stop for me to get in a round. Was charged 45 once without a golf now reservation where you pay 35 so keep that in mind for a "discount". Course has gone downhill over the years due to rumors of a bad golf pro running the place so I hear, but in 2017 I find the course to be in good shape for the most part. Cart paths do need work, sand traps are not sand, but fairways are OK and for the most part the greens look great. I see signs for "mickeys grill" on some of the holes but never see a restaurant open and the pro shop has nothing in it for sale. Anyway, I still like coming here and will continue. Hope they turn it around over the next few years.
