Blackledge Country Club - Anderson's Glen

I've golfed Blackledge several times and really enjoy the golf course. The conditions are well kept and the greens are in better shape than most. I also play in a league on Wed nights at Blackledge. The biggest problem this course faces is the constant slow play. I know it's a problem during its league play, but I was very discouraged about the 5+ hours of play yesterday. Management has been notified several times about the slow play over the year and they consistently do nothing about it. They seem to only care about the money coming in and not the etiquette part of the game of golf. If Blackledge management can get their act together and address this significant issue, my overall rating and outlook for this course will increase significantly.

Good course, challenging from the tips, fairways and greens well kept, few bare spots in the rough. Overall worth playing. I will go back...

One of my favorites in CT. Great value.
#12 on Gilead is a little bit a target golf.
Overall, this course has a lot of character and always has great greens and fairways.

Always a pleasure to golf at Blackledge. The course is in great shape and the pace of play was excellent.

As greens fees are costing more and more this with the help of golf now was a very good deal.

Loved it here, except for the slow play. Group in front of us was slow, but we jumped them at the turn with no issue.

This course is very poorly managed and maintained. I played this course on 08/12/13 which was 3 days after a rain storm. Several buckers still contained standing water. The course was crowded and the pace of play was very very slow. It took 4 hours and 35 minutes to play 15 holes at which time I left. I called to Pro Shop at the 3rd tee and they sent a ranger to investigate. His response was that there was no problem. ARE YOU JOKING? The first 5 greens had 5 very different speeds and degree of smoothness. They watered the fairway while we were attempting to play the hole. We even got sprayed with the high pressure sprinkler while the maintenance man just looked on. The tee times are booked too close together which the average golfer is unable to main that pace. Be prepared to walk miles and miles on this course even if you rent a golf cart. This course is a joke and I will NEVER play it again.

This was the best course I have played at in the Hartford area. The condition of the greens were remarkable and the fairways and tee boxes were just as good. The course was really green and the clubhouse staff was very easy going and friendly.

Course is in good shape and was a great value. Would definitely do again.

If you are looking for varying degrees of holes; this course is for you. Elevation changes, tee boxes set back, a chance to score low. I enjoyed every aspect of this tract.

Great layout and good test of golf skills, but the fairways hadn't been mowed for I dont know how long. Fairways were like the rough at most courses. Rough was longer and snarly, which is fine to me. Greens slow, but pretty good shape. Most courses are struggling with upkeep, since nobody plays golf anymore.

Ranger made frequent trips around course, but didn't do anything to speed up slow play.

Snack bar was not well stocked (not enough hot dog buns, didn't take credit cards, etc.) and this was on a Sunday

course was in very good condition however pace of play was way to slow, just under 5 hours

I play there often, the crews do a great job on the course and there is rarely any significant condition problems

I found the staff very friendly and flexible. I arrived early and was able to tee off sooner than expected The course was in great shape and well manicured. I would definitely recommend this course to others.

First time playing. They include complimentary yardage books which is an nice touch.

Course is in nice cndition. Greens were excellent. Staff was great. Will definitely be back.

Although Anderson's Glen would never make your top 10 it qualifies as a very good practice course. Over the course of your round you'll hit all the shots. Alot of trees, sand and water give you ample opportunity to hit all the shots. Most fairways are ample, so if you are on your game you should be able to score. I was not and thus I did not! A good afternoon in 95 degree heat but with much shade. Will return to take revenge.

Always a slow day on either course at Blackledge, which is a shame since they are both nice tracts. No rangers or course management causes the play to get unbearably slow. The course needs to hire some rangers and enforce pace of play. I may just give up on this one and play elsewhere...

This course is currently in excellent condition. All the recent rain has everything very lush. This course is a great training course, offering a variety of shots and holes that range from very easy to challenging. Greens are always well kept, and putt consistently.
