Indian Springs Golf Club in Middlefield has been owned and operated by the same family since it first opened in 1964. With a terrain of rolling, tree-covered hills, the course is as scenic as it is fun to play. The nine-hole layout is player friendly enough to appeal to players of all skill levels and there is an alternate set of tees to play an 18-hole round. Though many of the fairways are wide and forgiving, there are a few tricky blind shots that will test your accuracy. The par-5 second hole is one of the most memorable. It leads you uphill before plummeting downhill to a green protected by three sand traps. Indian Springs Golf Club's second par 5, the tree-lined fifth hole, is also notably tricky. The fairway edges along mature forests, leading to a sharp dogleg right downhill to the green, which is surrounded by trees.

More Than Playable in Late Fall

—Nothing all that new to add to my last review of September 3rd. As for course conditions today, they were relatively good for late fall, with very good greens and greenside areas, decent fairways, and good tees. Service was excellent at the front desk–very polite, friendly, and attentive.

Great course

Great course here! Absolutely beautiful surroundings and scenery!

Great course for the value . At times it can be slow bc it’s popular in this area but totally worth a try.

Both Par 5s are the best. Hard but a lot of fun. Hole 5 especially! Owners are super friendly, most of the staff are too.

A little gem in Middlefield!

Indian Springs Sept 15

Second time playing the course. Nice 9 hole course but can be a little difficult to walk because of hills. Greens were well cared for and rolled true. First time walking it was 92F. Thought it would be much easier in 73F but still tough for my wife. Will be back but with a cart.

A Course to Bank On

I find myself returning regularly to Indian Springs, as not only is this a very well-conditioned nine-hole layout, but also offered is just about all you might expect for challenge. And that despite the fact that this isn’t a long track. What creates the better part of that challenge, simply, are two major factors: the often large elevation changes from tee to green along with the slick and highly contoured greens themselves. The putting surfaces themselves may be the fastest on any nine-holer among the twenty or so that exist in Connecticut.

Course conditions were good today, although they fell short of the usual excellent standard I’ve seen here most times. The fringes needed cutting–which was the only thing that I found to truly affect scoring–and both the fairways and greens seemed slightly worn, mostly likely due to heavy summer play. This, of course, happens to many public tracks during June through August, so it’s not terribly surprising. Service was slow at the front desk, although friendly. It is Labor Day weekend.

Still, I would call it another very good day of golf at this enjoyable course, whose value is pretty much unbeatable.
