The Vue

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.

The course was in much better condition then last year. The greens were a little slow and traps rocky but overall very good condition.

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.

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.

course was very busy and crowded. good value, but everything else was average. lots of bugs.

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.

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.

Laurel View CC was a very pleasant surprise. My wife was attending an event in Westport so I decided to tag along for the day and play some golf. Laurel View was close so I decided to give it a try. The course has a great layout and is in very good shape. Maintenance guys were very visible maintaining the course; greens, fairways and rough were all well maintained. The guys in the pro shop were very friendly and informative about the course when I checked in. The experience was very enjoyable.

Good news & bad news. Good was the course layout & greens. Bad news was no snack bar and/or bar, bunkers were in terrible condition and the range is one of the worst ever. If you go make sure to pack a lunch. The cart girl was awesome however and had a good selection of beer on ice!

Overall it was not that bad, but if you go into a bunker you would be better off picking up your ball! The bunkers are the worst I have ever seen!!

IT IS A COURSE THAT HAS EACH HOLE HAS IT OWN DIFFCULTY. YOU THINK IT LOOKS EASY THEN IT HAPPENS HIGH SCORE.

Tee to greens the course was well maintained and my foursome all enjoyed the course. Older course that definitely needs some tender loving care. The ball washers on each hole were broken or without water. We only found three holes with distance markers so most shots were a guess as to distance. Sand traps were without sand or had very little. You get what you pay for, a golf course that is a little challenging, good condition for a very reasonable price.

Cart paths are in poor condition but fairways and greens are good. Rough is deep. Back nine is narrow with severe elevation changes. Some holes need a spotter !! Great value for the price.

Liked the course alot and will go again. Got my first hole in one on hole 12 so it's tough to not to like this place. There just a few things that need attention. Some of the ball washers had no water at least half of them. No drinking water on course so bring water. There needs to be better distance markers they were hard to find or spot. The course itself was in great condition and the layout was very nice.

decent condition, greens inconsistent possibly due to Poa.

Fun course with lots of blind tee shots and very "hilly". Fairways and greens are in good shape considering that we are early in the season, BUT the cart paths, buildings, practice range, and grounds off the fairway & greens (yes- I visited these areas) are really beat. Sad because it seems with a little more TLC they could put it all together..

Great course for the money and always in great shape

We arrived 10 minutes early for our tee time only to be told that there were no carts available. We were given a small bucket of balls to take to their range. When we finished at the range 20 minutes later the carts were still not back around. By the time we got to the first tee it was 2:45 and we had a 2:10 tee time. Aside from the late start the only issue I had were the cart paths.

Staff friendly & helpful, course in very good condition for April in CT, clubhouse/restaurant was not open- a disappointment, definitely not a walking course

In comparison to other town owned golf courses, Laurel View is in terrible condition. This is not due to the fact that I played it December 4, it's because the entire facility is run down and needs many capital improvements.
The cart paths are shot. It's like driving in a war zone. Many areas of washed out ruts were all throughout the course. The sand traps have not been maintained for months and are just another eyesore.
As a Hamden taxpayer, I am embarrassed by this facility and would never reccomend it to anyone no matter what the greens fees are. The current management group has been thrown off other courses and should lose this contract. Hamden needs to step up and make needed improvements and bring in a group that will make the needed improvements or sell it to a developer.
