The Vue

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

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.

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

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...

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.

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.
