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

Seventeen: a classic uphill par-3 situated among the serene woodlands of Laurel View. 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

5 hr round Tuesday come on
5 hr round for a Tuesday day is unacceptable!!!! Running an afternoon tournment so jammed in guys with like 5min difference in tee times and just waiting on every shot
Great course
I had a nice experience when I played. They had an outing that morning but honored my teatime I booked online and let me out ahead of the groups.
Very nice staff and the clubhouse looks amazing. I plan on playing there again when I travel back to Connecticut.
From a course that I never wanted to go back to, to a course that I’m willing to drive an hour and a half to play.
Played here on a whim to meet some friends from Connecticut, haven’t played since prior to the remodeling, and was totally turned off by unfriendly and negative staff previously…
BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THAT THEY HAVE HANDS DOWN THE NICEST STAFF SINCE POST REMODELING, this course is a gem I’LL SAY IT AGAIN. THE STAFF IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.!!!!! They hustle and bust them even short staffed right now as people go back to school, I guess, but everyone from the guy that was checking in and also acting as a starter, to the girl behind the bar, that was also running orders out on the golf course, the staff make this place a hitting gym. They did a great job remodeling. But the staff absolutely makes this place.!!! Tip your bartender as well. Say please and thank you you and you will not have a bad round here.
Poor course management
The pace of play was terrible everyone was up each other’s A- - .
The cart paths were pretty bad too . I might come back but definitely not for a while.
Challenging but very fun
Super fun course, got a deal on a tee time and got out right away however on the turn hit a jam with a league however the jam fixed itself fairly quick. Will be back.
Everything was great until....
We got to the turn and discovered they let groups off the back who we, as 18 hole ticket holders, had to wait behind. Completely unacceptable. Other than that, the course is mostly in great shape. Greens and tee boxes are excellent. Fairways sitting up nicely, rough was not overwhelming. If they can overcome their greed and not send groups off the back while I make the turn, I wpuld definitely go back
5 star transformation...
Amazing course. Both views, course conditions, staff, amenities...but it's the course that has transformed into one of the best courses around that area. Matt the owner, transformed this course into something special. And when we were there recently, course was backed up because of a drunkathon event that delayed tee times by almost an hour. But Matt the owner / CEO showed up to reassure that things will move on and pace of play will be restored in which they did. That speaks volumes, to show up and put concerns forefront. Both Matt and Jesse made every attempt to reassure folks that this was a one off situation and will better themselves for next scenario. I have played many courses through out the country and The Vue is poised to be THE golf destination in this area. This review was posted by Jeff from Jersey...
Upgrades
I hadn’t played this course in a couple years and expectations were not set very high. I was pleasantly surprised and look forward to when all the changes and upgrades are complete
The staff is incredibly welcoming - course is a bit tough
Course needs some
Maintenance. Lots of blind spots tough for first time player. I would give this course a year to get in better shape. Greens are super fast and no breaks anywhere. Love the promontory to tee off from. Great and welcoming staff.
What a change!
Haven’t been to this course in many, many years as used to play it regularly on a league. Was shocked at the VUE! So many trees had been taken down, incredible views of new haven, east rock etc. The layout has been reworked yet some holes remain the same. Had to go off back 9 due to a shotgun tournament on the front. Looking forward to going again to check out the front. It’s still a work in progress course but their future is very promising.
Credit to play a round there again would be nice
