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

very dry course
water course needs lot of water
sand traps were also in very poor condition
Going down hill
The condition of the course seems to have gone down hill. Played this course many times, but this is the worst I've ever seen it. Would I play the course again? Yes, but needs to be a very good price. Would I recommend the course? probably, but I would be clear about what they're getting themselves into.

hard as a rock
Greens in great shape rest of course bone dry and rock hard bunkers not groomed

Concrete fairways
The last time I played this course (1988), I recall it being in good shape with green fairways, etc. However, the fairways were as hard as the roads I drove on to get to the course! Ironically enough, the greens were in very nice shape. Both my friend and I decided to have some fun with the conditions; we hit some drives that were well over 300 yards and actually putted from 100 yards out that made the greens!!! It was fun but I won't go back anytime soon. If they put some money into the fairways, it is a very nice golf course. Too bad...
Glad you and your friend had some fun during your round. Our apologies for some of the conditions of the fairways so please contact me directly for a make up promo code at carlyteetimes@gmail.com
Wasted Potential
A nice New England layout, plenty of elevation changes and interesting shots, especially off the tees.
The course Maintainance was very poor...greens were slow and bumpy, tees were placed in areas of the boxes that had been destroyed by heavy play, lots of small rocks on greens and quarter sized rocks in bunkers.
If a little work is put in, this can be a good layout, but I won't be back. Very disappointing.
Glad you enjoyed the layout of the course during your round. We are working on some of the course conditions so please contact me directly for a make up promo code at carlyteetimes@gmail.com
Great layout
Nice to get started on time, no waiting.The course needs some TLC but I love this course. Tee boxes were good. The fairways were O.K. but need more water. Stay on the fairway, the side rough off the fairway, 50% was dry, hard, bare spots, just starting to burnout. Greens were in good shape but a little slow. Bunkers were terrible, lots of stones and minimal sand. Cart paths need work. Carts were nice and brand new. Overall, played at my pace, no obstructions.

Potential for Improvement
I found a decent deal on golfnow and looked forward to trying out a new course. Upon my arrival the starter was very friendly and had me off right away. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. The rough wasn't in great shape and the cart paths were a mess but I could handle that. People were shouting all over the front nine and I believe someone on the course even had an air horn at one point. Numerous holes we were dodging sprinklers and two greens we had to pick up because they were very soggy as three different sprinklers continued to drench them. Also, players couldn't even be bothered to throw away water cups around coolers as they littered several tee boxes. I will not be playing here anytime soon.
Our apologies for some of the conditions of the course during your round. unfortunately we can not control how other golfers conduct themselves during their round. Please contact me directly for a make up promo code at carlyteetimes@gmail.com
Great time.
The course was in good shape. The greens were true and fast. The bunkers could use some attention. It is like chipping off of dirt if you end up in a bunker.
Glad you had a great time during your round. Hope to see you back at Laurel View CC soon!
Laurel View
Great bang for your buck especially through golf now. Have played 18 a few times in the past couple weeks, no complaints other than the greens being a bit slow and the fact that the traps will literally ruin your club due to the excessive amount of rocks in them.
Glad you have enjoyed playing at Laurel View CC. Cant wait to see you back soon!
Slow Play
Nice course, but really slow, not a good place to go if you are a more experienced player-a lot of new guys playing here really slowed down the pace of play....
Glad you enjoyed the course but our apologies for the pace of play you experienced during your round. Please contact me directly for a make up promo code at carlyteetimes@gmail.com
Good course and challenging
The course was in good condition and challenging! The greens were in great shape! I look forward to my return visit to Hamden. My booking through Golf now was easy and painless. The pace was pretty good though we had a slow foursome in front of us.
Glad you enjoyed your round at Laurel View CC during your trip and hope to see you back on your next trip.
not women friendly
Wonderful course .Always liked playing there except for maintanance akways ongoing during women play times and when women are on a hole. Lawn mowing never halted while approaching greens or putting. Mowing continued while teeing off or right behind us on fairway. The cutters pulled up when men were on the holes. Too bad.. Head Pro Edward Grant a great guy. But Matt Manchetti's the real Boss. Too bad. The 2 rds back to back this week only reinforced what I had known for years and why we stopped playing there. Too bad its a gem..

Challanging but fair
Course was in nice condition. Some blind shots, some sand and water that comes into play. Overall a fair course that will let you use most clubs in your bag
Glad to hear you enjoyed your round at Laurel View CC catberm. Hope to see you back soon!
Nice course
This was my first time playing here and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Fairways were nice and challenging and the greens were debrie clean. Only issue was the cart paths were in some disrepair with crumbly asphalt through out the course made for a bumpy ride. I would still definitely recommend this course to others.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your first round at Laurel View CC. I'm sure this means we should be seeing you again! Thanks for the review
Much improvement
The course was in much better condition then last year. The greens were a little slow and traps rocky but overall very good condition.
Thanks for the review brucer1960. Hope to see you back at Laurel View CC soon!
Great vaue and a very nice course.
The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating!
For some reason they had no record of my tee time or confirmation for a foursome at 7:24 on Saturday morning.
After I showed them the email that was on my phone, they made some adjustments in the tee sheet to get us out.
We had a short wait and had to play the back 9 first.
Louis and the other staff member were great, and gave us each a small bucket of range balls so we could practice during the short wait before our new tee time.
Not sure where the mix up was - but these guys were very professional and the course was in terrific shape.
Glad to hear you got great customer service during your round! Hope to see you back at Laurel View CC soon!
Do not waste your money
The course was in very poor run down condition. Greens were ok but everywhere else on the course was almost burned out. Clover everywhere. I even saw some in the fairway. Nothing to eat or drink at the turn and we teed off at noon except in the pro shop which had a few bottles of water for sale. Lack of rakes in the bunkers however you really did not need them since it was like hitting out a rocky cart path. No one in my foursome will be going back. At the end of the round the lounge was open however all they had in there were fans since the air conditioning was not working.

Not a great experience
Walked in with my printout of my partially-prepaid reservation. Handed it to the guy at the counter. He said, "What, no hello or hi or I've got a tee time..." Uh, OK. "Here's my sheet showing my tee time," I said. And "Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations of me." I was a bit aggravated. Perhaps the guy behind the counter should have welcomed me a bit better, don't you think?
But the worst part was waiting literally 25 minutes for a cart. We arrived 20 minutes before our tee time. No carts were available. The starter told me they were supposed to have some repaired before the weekend, but that hadn't happened. So, we started about 30 minutes late.
Greens are nice and most of the course is well kept, except for the traps, which are just awful. Like hitting out of concrete. And full of stones.
It was a deathly slow round. After 4.5 hours we still had three holes left to play. And we were waiting for every shot. We gave up after #15 and went home.
Never again, no matter what the price. I would not recommend this place.

OK I Guess
Overall the course wasin OK shape. The greens appeared to be in good shape but when putting the ball would tend to hop along. The "sand" traps were horrible as they were not sand at all. Mostly clay with a lot of stones.
