Oak Hills Park Golf Course

We had a tee time of 4:45 we were out on time. The fairways were in nice shape however if you missed them you were challenged in finding your ball there was no fairway buffer it went right to rough and that was at least 31/2 to 4 inches high and loaded with grass clumps. The greens were in good shape. There is a lot of blind tee shots as well, we were only able to get 14 of 18 in. For what it cost us to play we felt it was a little high.

I'm originally from the Fairfield county area and have moved to the Hartford area, so maybe I have gotten spoiled by the beautiful well manicured courses and reasonably priced greens fees in the west Hartford and farmington area; but, I had been looking forward to playing the oak hills course given it's proximity and convenience to my home town. When I checked out the website and saw the cost of the course I assumed the course would have been excellent -- I couldn't have been more wrong!! Let's put it this way, when the highlight of your round is the unreal hot dog you have at the snack shop, there's a problem-- but seriously though the hot dog was ridiculously good. To start with we were greeted by the pro in the golf shop who had an pretty nasty attitude, couldn't have been anymore cold --not looking for a hoorah welcome but at least be cordial.

The course itself looked like a backyard that hadn't been cared for in about three seasons...brown spots galore, pebbles and rocks were scattered around the fringes, the rough was so long a ball 18 inches off the fairway took minutes to locate, not to mention the ranger that called me "pal" when I accidentally drove my cart into an area that was "marked" by ropes...ie not marked at all. To be fair greens were in ok condition, certainly not great.

Overall, this course turned out to be a horrible experience!! For around 70 bucks for a round of golf, I certainly expect at the very least a well manicured course, I can deal with the attitudes but at least take care of the most important thing. If you feel like paying through your nose for a below mediocre golf course in Fairfield county, dealing with employees that have some bad attitudes then this is the place for you, but hey at least you can load up on some good hot dogs!

greens in championship condition!! also the best electric carts!!

You won't need your driver much on this short municipal track, but the fairways are tight (opens up on the back 9) and you have to be accurate with your shot placement. All the greens were sanded heavily for end-of-season maintenance, and there was no posted warning. But we enjoyed our round because we like to play fast, and most courses in this part of the country seem to play very slowly. Lots of elevation changes, blind shots and doglegs. While visiting the area, we also played Maple Moor and Lake Isle Country Club in Westchester (NY) County.Maple Moor had the best course conditions by far and they were more accommodating to players when it comes to sanding the greens -- they announced at the beginning that two holes were being sanded for the day.

The greens were fast, pure and receptive. Couldn't ask for better greens on the golf course. That being said the fairways could use a little attention. They are redoing several tee boxes. Wish this facility had a practice range. The setup is a little short for my liking maxing out around 6500. Overall not a bad experience.

Greens were smooth as silk and really ran out nicely. Because it was my first time playing here (out of towner), I played D off the tee on a few holes where it would have been advisable not to. They give you a very nice book that outlines each hole, with tips on the tee ball, but unless you can drive up and see the entire fairway it still can be inadequate, especially on the front.

All in all, though, a really good course, very well maintained. A little steep in price, though, as I missed the hot deal from Golfnow and had to settle for almost standard fees.

The greens are excellent. The tee boxes and fairways are average.

Played mid day last Sunday and finished 18 holes in 4 hours.

played yesterday with our usual traveling foresome, great deal on GolfNow.
if your palying just for fun, i'd recomend preferred lie rules in fairways, ( some people just dont fix divots )... otherwise this course is in great shape... thx to staff

Nice mix of wide-open (3 straight par 5's) and tight (some par 4's had blind tee shots). Greens were in great shape. Tried it because I got a really good rate, but I'd love to play it again.

Staff was very friendly and the starter got us out quick. It was on a weekday so the pace was excellent. However, it was the day after heavy rain and course was pretty wet. Fun course and would love to play there again.

A wonderful place I enjoy it I can't way to go back and try the restaurant.

Front 9 had a bunch of tricked out holes. Blind doglegs with crazy elevations. Back 9 flat, long and boring....
Don't bother unless you're a Norwalk resident. They don't entice out of towners at all!

The course begins with the 1st 7 Fairways and greens challenging, blind spots, dog legs and sloped areas. The next 11 Greens are not as challenging as far as golf is concerned, but the limited signage to get to each hole is scarce, entering and exiting through the parking lot is odd. After completing the front 9 you must use the cart path which is at the end of the tee box of the 10th hole. All in all beautiful day, which made it more enjoyable

Well designed, and somewhat wide opened course with few blind dogleg holes. iF you are first timer, you will get lost after hole six to go to hole seven.
Greens are reasonably fast and readable.

I only paid $19.00 to play and for that price it was worth it but it was very slow playing and the course was a bit unfair at times. Some great holes however as well.

I used to play Oak Hills years ago before I joined a private club. I played it again recently and found it had deteriorated badly. The fairways are full of weeds and bare patches, the traps are in sad shape, and the greens are slow and uneven. And the starter acts like he's doing you a favor to answer a question.

Most every hole required careful club selection before teeing off. Greens were in great shape and played very fast.

typical muni with great bones, I go every year at least once
