Good value, good conditions

I have played here before, so no surprises. The course was in good shape. The greens putted faster than some other courses at this time of year (a good thing) and there was no one out there. We played the round in just over 3 hours. Great value through golf now versus making a tee time through the pro shop

Under slopped

Course in good shape for late April. Very scenic, pretty course with what I image are spectacular views in late autumn. Challenging greens and approaches. Don't miss the greens! Do not understand how they have determined a slope of 119 from the blue tees. Course is much more difficult for the average golfer then the slope indicates.

Didn't like the greens. Most were too severely sloped back to front which made some holes difficult to play.

Excellent value

Playing early in the season, you're never sure how the conditions will be. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the overall conditions of the fairways & greens were, at Quarry Ridge. The greens were smooth & consistent & the fairways were in great shape too. For the money, one of the better courses in the area.

This course has everything

Quarry Ridge has been one of my favorite courses in CT because it is picturesque and always well maintained. The elevation changes are quite spectacular. Although many holes offer even the single digit handicap a challenge by their uneven lies and well placed traps, it is a course you can score well on if your short game is good. Putting is consistent
and the greens are also in good condition. It's just a fun course with a nice staff and a solid restaurant and bar.

Worker in Pro Shop very unprofessional and rude

I played on 11/20 and enjoyed the course thoroughly. However, I will never return and I will make sure none of my golfing friends play there. Upon arrival, I checked in without my golf shoes on or my clubs out of my car. I told the guy in the pro shop I booked it on golfnow and he checked for my name. The man in front of me was about to tee off but he held him up so I could hop on the cart with him. That was not the problem. The problem was his rationale behind it. He told me that I could not have my own cart because I had paid on GolfNow, a much cheaper price than if I had paid at the pro shop. He made me feel like a second-class customer. This is not Augusta National. You should treat the 6 people willing to pay to play golf in late November like gold. I suggest playing Portland Golf Course right next door, as their staff could not be nicer. I would hope GolfNow would cut their ties with this course because they are not treating the GolfNow customer right.

Wonderful Late November Day

Course is in "GREAT" shape. Fairways were all clear of leaves. Greens had a few but you could tell they had gotten there doing the day. Even the rough around the Greens was clear of leaves. Course is tight. White tees make it easier for high handicappers. But it is a course you need to bring your A-Game. You will hear "FORE" a few time thru out the day. Course could of been marked better. Two holes you have to wait for the group in front of you to Tee Off - then you have to drive by them to get to the tees.
I usually play from the White Tees but the Gentleman running the Pro Shop said the White tees we very short and the Blue Tees were the old White Tees. So I gave them a go and I am so glad I did.
I will play again! With a round of "88" from the "Blue Tees"
Breath taking view as we finished. Full moon coming up in the East - Beautiful Sunset to the West. Perfect ending to a wondeful November round of Golf.

Fun course, must hit the ball straight

Greens were firm and rolled very well. Fairways very narrow but still room to find errant shots. Beautiful views and an interesting layout. Tee boxes need leveling.

Course and weather made for a fantastic day of golf !!!

Played an afternoon round at QRidge, hadn't played there in a couple of years. Place was in great shape, greens were fast but true. We played from the tips [first time doing that], the course was challenging and a lot of fun. The course has tremendous elevation changes with great views all around. We got a great "HOT DEAL" from Golf Now. We would surely do it again.

Best public course in CT

Well maintained. I usually play at a club with fast greens, so I like their greens (also fast) a lot. Interesting layout with several dog legs. Generous fairways. Great restaurant. They give you five dollar voucher included with greens fee.

This course offers a challenge

We are not excellent golfers. We found the course challenging. There are hills,out croppings of rocks, trees and water. When you tee off, you cannot always see where your balls lands because of the hills and bends on the fairway. Some fairways change from a hill to a valley and back to a hill. But is was a great experience and we played 2 days in a row.

A great course built into the ridgeline in Portland

Quarry Ridge is a course that I play at least a couple times a year. The layout is both practical as well as a challenging. You can really test your skills from the TIPS or play a relaxing game from the whites (played blues). The course was in great condition. Greens rolled true (little slow) even though I played midday. Fairways were very well groomed as were the tee boxes. Traps were raked as they should be. Had a great deal from Golf Now which made it all the better.

The course had some of the best vistas in the state! Would love to play in the fall with all of the leaves turning different colors

Two of my friends played here for the first time and were very impressed with the layout, condition and beautiful. We played the black tees which were about 6,400 and played all of that. If you don't keep the ball in the fairways, it could be a long day. The course is fair and not tricked-up. Also, considering the amount of rain we have had this year which has burnt-out most courses, this one has not. Kudos to the superintendent! I would recommend this course to any of my golf buddies who like a challenge on a course that is in fantastic condition.

The course had great views and was fun to play.

We enjoyed our round at Quarry Ridge. Play was slow, but still a great place to be on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
