The Vue

Got paired up with 3 nice guys. The course is in good shape and we played in 4 hrs. The greens are the best I have played on so far this year.

This was my home course for 2 golf seasons, as I lived in town. I played fHad short shot and realized after hitting my ball was nestled up on tip of a rock, resulting in damage to my 9 iron. Hole number 11 should be closed or demolished. There will be a major cart accident much sooner than later.. As for difficulty, I paid one over tow the right and then hit a beebee all way over on right. Ended up finding ball on cartpath on right. Got par there but lucky. If you played by rules, a 10 might be average score. Enough here. Too many accident traps. Track could be outstanding, but if offered free golf for year, I would not go. Matt ((pro) was engaging and did his job. This course needs work because it could be a gem.

This was my first time back to laurel view in 6 years and I must say aside from the bunkers being full of large rocks and no sand the conditions were fair. Greens roll true and fairways in good shape. It was humid and almost 90 degrees and amazingly the course had no water coolers and no beverage cart. I can't imagine how much money the course lost not selling snacks or beverages on course! Tough walk on back nine made worse by lack of water. Do not recommend walking 18.

Laurel View this time of year offers a fair deal and price at this time of yea(April).

Walked 18 on friday and my only issue was with the fact I had to walk. Hopefully they can get the carts back soon, the rumors about the carts are kinda scary, I played with 3 residents who were not happy with the courses situation. Now I have all the gossip

the course is in good shape considering the winter past. Greens were not bad even wth them having small arieation holes, speed compared to others that i have played this early season. Easy walk on the front but considerably harder on the back.

Greens and fairways were in very good shape for the time of year. I play this course all the time and there are a few things that REALLY need to be improved. 1) the bunkers: There is no playing out of them even at the height of the season. They are more pebbles and packed dirt than sand. 2) The ladies tees are never in very good shape. At least not all of them. Not on flat ground. Some have deep ruts in them. 3) The locker/restrooms could use some updating. Not a huge deal but I would feel more comfortable using it if it were freshly painted and appeared to be cleaned more frequently. For example: the entrance to the ladies facilities from the practice area has "Ladies Locker Room" handwritten on the door in Sharpie.

I like the course. It's convenient and reasonable priced. The staff is polite, though the pro shop could use some updated merchandise.

This is a. Great course for the price at golf now, no clue on the summer rates. The person at the front desk is very friendly and they also make sure no one jumps ahead of you when ur making the turn toward the 10th. Overal a nice layout.

Enjoy the course. Well designed and in decent shape for the fall

I enjoy the course but it needs work. Where is the F&B service? Sand traps should be called stone traps, cart paths are a mess, It's a 5 minute ride from my home so this is why I play here but when I ask my friends to join me they decline because the overall upkeep has gone downhill and there are many other local courses that offer a better experience. Hopefully in 2015 we see some improvmement

a must play, will improve your game. sand traps need some work

This is the cheapest golf in the area and therefor you get a number of players who are beginners or non-players. This slows things up and can wreck your scoring...and to make matters worse there were no rangers for the Sat afternoon we playe. It was evident some had purposely damaged the greens (bashede it with their club). Overall though the course was in good shape and it's an interesting track to play. The staff were nice but they just need more help.

Pace of play was on the slower side, but the day made it worth while. Rather open. Only played nine.

Course was in acceptable shape due to recent rain (and watering?) assisting fairway growth. Had played few weeks earlier and ground was bone dry and lacking grass in many fairways. The greens were in decent shape....appears they have been watered on more regular basis. The traps are atrocious with barely anything close to 'sand' in them, with rocks/pebbles to contend with. Appears course is lacking maintenance. No food or drinks service available. Hope something is done for next season as I doubt we'll be back. We'll keep checking postings for improvement and make decision.

Played 18 for $24 with cart. Great value for that money. Greens were in good shape. Tee boxes were soft needed work. I will play again usually has best deals out there.

We have played this course many times in the past. This was the first time this year we played Laurel View this year. We have played many other Connecticut courses this year and their fairways were excellent due to the rain this year. Although the weather was very good, the course is in dire need of maintenance and daily care. There are many dead and dry spots in the fairways and the ground is extremely hard and in need or aeration. The bunkers are full of rocks and have virtually no sand. One shot into the bunker actually bounced about 12 feet high and back into play due to lack of sand. Also daily maintenance is lacking. When we did encounter ball wash station most did not have any water and none had any towels.

To be fair the green were in terrific shape, the staff was great and the bacon cheeseburgers on the outdoor grill were excellent. They could use a better selection of beer.

This course has great potential and can be quite challenging. I hope with some maintenance the fairways and bunkers can be restored. I will not play here again this year and I will visit the course in the future and view the conditions before I make reservations to play.

It's was a hot humid day, so there was practically no one playing. With that said we played 18 (2 some) in 3:17 minutes. I've played here before and overall conditions are about the same. Fairways were good, greens were hit and miss, but a lot of it is from players not fixing their ball marks.

My biggest criticism is the "sand". Being a municipal course I think they use left over road sand in the bunkers. I only saw one trap that was groomed (of course I wasn't in that one). Hard packed with small pebbles.

I like the layout of the course.

Staff was great as was speed of play. Fairways were hard and good tee shots ended up in rough or OB. Cart paths were hard and bumpy to point where clubs fell off. Greens were hard, did not hold or roll true; course needs LOTS OF WATER. Good challenging layout, but course needs to be maintained better.

Greens and tee boxes in great shape fairways looking sparse with too many bare areas and thin grass. Cart paths are falling apart or missing entirely. Bunkers are a complete disaster all season. All pebbles & stones, no softness anywhere. Bring an old SW don't ruin good clubs. Entire place needs attention and investment. Nice layout and challenge, but neglected.

water course needs lot of water

sand traps were also in very poor condition
