Great course in Western CT

There are some great tracks in western Connecticut and Candlewood Valley one of them. A challenging course design and less expensive than other 18 hole courses nearby. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Pace of play is great on the weekdays much busier and slower on the weekends. Greens are in great condition and challenging. There are some tree line holes and fairways that will challenge your golf abilities and other holes that are wider and allow you to bomb away if you do choose. Sometimes the course is windy and very challenging to make par or bogey. But that’s golf.

First Time Playing

Better Gem Than The Neighboring Town

First time playing here. Have lived in Danbury for 4 years and am so mad I am just now getting to this course. Had a huge rain the night before and the water really only sat on the cart paths. Greens, fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Will play here again ASAP

Staff was not friendly

Father was told he would get the senior rate and was charged full price. Also was paired with one random which i never mind but had league players behind us and never once held them up or where they waiting in the tee box for us but was advised 3 times through out the round to speed up when never once was it needed. Finished under 4hrs. Club house were rude, ranger was rude. Any more then $50 course is not worth it. Not the first time i have had a bad experience their

Terrible conditions.

We played Candlewood Valley today and the course was empty - and for a reason! The conditions were terrible, water everywhere, washed out cart paths, no leaf removal, etc. it was unplayable to the point it should be closed for the season.

Course conditions

Course has a severe problem with water.It affected many holes. The rough couldn't be cut and finding your ball was a big problem

You had to be right ontop of it to see it. Not a lot of fun. Greens were excellent. Nice course to play under the right conditions. I understand that it was closed for 4 days and had to open it sometime.

Late summer round

This course had a tough impact from recent heavy rain storm but the groundskeeper and crew are doing good job to get it back in shape. Expect a few holes to be subpar.

Pace of play is quite slow so be prepared and expect slow round. No rangers on course that move play along.

Difficulty of some holes remain so not for the beginning golfer. Enjoyable if you like to walk!

With some TLC hopefully fairways will return! Still worth playing a round here
