Great value on a hot deal

For the most part it was a great round. Some tee boxes need a lot of love. Greens in good condition.

Whitney Farms, getting better every year.

I played in mid July, the weather was hot and sticky. The course was in great shape, an estimate to their new golf super. They've put a lot of time and effort into getting this course in great condition and aside for the tee boxes, hammered from over play, and some course tree removal, the round was very enjoyable. Pace of play was as expected for this part of CT. round took just over 4.5 hrs. The off course amenities, restaurant and bar has a fantastic menu for a golf facility

and a great selection of adult beverages, although the service was a little slow for my liking.

All in all, I will play there again and hope they continue to improve the course.

Pricing Question

I thought the price I paid included cart rental.

The course charged me a fee. Please clarify.

Slow. But fun course.

Pace of play was simply brutal at 5:00 on a Sunday. Course was in great shape.

Greens have all kinds of Undulations. Few blind shots, so it helps to have a gps. Like the Grint or something.

Great shape for summer

Always like this track, especially when the pace is good. Greens in great shape and tricky. Fairways in good condition, tee boxes not so much. Every hole is interesting.

Jobsworth of a steward

The worst course I’ve ever played. The “ranger” has a serious problem, I’m not sure if it was a bad day for him but for the final 4 holes we was following us complaining about the speed despite the group in front being the ones who were slowing us down! I’d happily pay for him to receive some sort of therapy, I’d say it’s definitely needed.

I guess if I was working on a Saturday night I’d be equally as much of a knob. And especially if I looked liked that bloke.

Swore at us left right and centre called us all the names under the sun.

If you want a nice place to play golf then Whitney farms is most certainly not the one

Decent Value

Conditions and pace of play were adequate…not great but not bad. There are some quirky design flaws like an unseen bunker off the first tee, and a chopped up #8 hole. That said, for the money it’s a worthy choice.
