Great value. Course was challenging, but enjoyable. Will definitely come back to play here again!

Course was in excellent condition and although a bit challenging to play, it was very enjoyable. Staff was courteous and friendly. I definitely plan on coming back again to play.

Golf course was in good shape and fun to play. The Pro Shop, driving range & restaurant.....a total disaster.
This facility can and should be a top place.

the course has some interesting holes

The course had very good greens for a Municipal course . They were fast and true but firm. The overall layout is a challenging one from any of the tees.

First Time Playing

To call it a country club is very misleading...

$50 for 18 holes on a muni course with golf cart is reasonable and why I rated it 2 stars. The conditions are in dire need of attention. The cart paths are like a dried up stream bed or the BQE. The greens were the slowest i've ever played on - however it had rained for 2 days previously and they 'couldnt remember' when it was last cut. The traps are a mix of hardpan, dirt/clay and loaded with debris - either bring a old wedge or forego them. Tee boxes are lumpy. The grasses looked like a mix of whatever was on sale that year at home depot. And the pace of play was frustratingly glacial. We had to wait to tee off on the 7th hole for 30 minutes at which point I called them and asked if they had a Ranger...

The course has a nice tract of land and has potential if the city would invest in it. That being said: You can do a lot better for the same price elsewhere.

Course Good, Non-Course Not So Good

Golf on a good course, at a good price without much else. The clubhouse, grounds and pro shop need some TLC. The driving range is a war zone and should be closed or fixed. The cart paths are what I imagine the Ho Che Min Trail was like. That said, tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good shape and make this a fun playable course. So much potential but not bad now.

Greens were in very good shape (appearance & speed) for early in the season

Pace of play was the biggest issue. It was slower than normal. The pro shop was very accomodating when I showed up late for my tee time. I ran into a traffic problem, so they squeezed me in shortly after I arrived.

Average. Rolling hills. Fast greens. Nice views.

Played before, Will replay.

Couple of drivable Par fours for big hitters.

Cart paths in bad shape, but drivable.

Poor driving range, good practice putting green.

Not a "prissy" venue.

December golf in CT

Great to have a course that stays open all winter. Good design with open front and tight back. Only complaint is slow play on weekends but you get what you pay for!

Save your money.

Horribly managed and maintained course, tee boxes stink, cart paths are a joke, fairways and bunkers are afterthoughts. Forget this place, they're not serious about you and your round.

Very nice course... challenging yet very friendly for the novice, too.

Beautiful course... very well-maintained. Challenging mixture of driver and iron use. Each hole is unique; you don't see the same conditions on the other holes. Good workout. Most holes are forgiving for the novice golfer and yet challenging for the advanced player.

Course was in the midst or aeration and sanding when I played, so conditions were a little rough. I have played the course at other times and the maintenance was excellent!

This place blows. Clearly you were drinking and don't remember anything about your round.

Interesting course

The course has a slope rating of 131 however prior to making the turn, you may wonder what specifically about the front 9 makes it difficult. Then you tee off on the back nine and quickly understand why. While the front 9 makes for a fairly simple layout with a few ponds to avoid, the fairways narrow down in the back nine with blind tee boxes, lots of uphill and downhill and sideway shots. The course is maintained fairly well - other benefits is the free water coolers spread out at various holes in the summer to allow for a cool down. It's a fun course if you don't get discouraged. The only thing is that a sloped range finder will do a lot for your game in the back 9 - what appears to be a 160yd shot can be either 190 or 130 depending on where you're standing.
