great setting,staff and conditions

first ones out played as a twosome and we finished in 3 hrs. The staff as a whole was very friendly. Course conditions were excellent. We play many courses in CT and playing Quarry always ends up being a great golf experience.

Great fun! Nice challenge

Have played this course many times, as a twosome, foursome and single. The course staff has cleared the edges this year, making it easier to see and find your ball. It is in the best shape I've seen in 3 years. If you enjoy variety - ups and downs, longs and shorts, and a great view, I highly recommend it. The course pro, John, is a great teacher as well. I highly recommend taking advantage of his services.

Lots of positive changes

I had played this course a long time ago when it was only 9 holes. They have redone the layout (which is very nice) and made the greens very challenging. Fairways were in great condition and with the GolfNow deal it was a great experience.

Course was backed up

Played as a single but joined up with two other guys. Great course and conditioned really well. The only problem was there were 2 extremely slow groups in front of us who were slowing us down. It took our group almost 5 hours to play and we were waiting on every shot. Only recommendation would be to have some marshals roaming the course. Didn't see any the entire round. That might help things move a little faster. Will definitely play here again though

Nice Golf Course

Good round, nice day and great weather. My only complaint: They let singles and twosomes go out and it is pretty disorganized out there. A twosome in front of me refused to allow me to play with them and I had to wait behind them. They should group people up better. Same thing happened last time I played here.

Memorial Day Sunday

Quarry Ridge continues to provide a solid challenge while hosting some of the nicest views in Greater Hartford.

We've previously eaten at the bar / restaurant and the food was very good. My only two complaints were pace of play (over five hours) and early dismissal of staff (beer cart and bar staff.)

Regardless, I would recommend the course to all.

Scenic course and great staff

This course bills itself as the most scenic in CT and it certainly has to be up there. The elevation changes aren't too harsh and the random rock formations make for some challenging situations. It isn't an easy course but it isn't overly difficult either. Greens and fairways were in great shape.
What made it for me was the staff. One of our foursome called out short notice for a pre paid time booked through GolfNow so there wasn't anything the course staff could do....cannot be helped. But when another of our group had to stop through injury after 9 holes and the course pro saw that (we had talked in the shop beforehand) while he was out on the course himself, he was eager to compensate us for our loss, even though Quarry Ridge had done absolutely nothing wrong. Just a fantastic gesture from very personable staff that will be seeing my group and I return to Quarry Ridge without hesitation.

This course is very challenging

Fairways are very narrow, but the course is very well kept and views are amazing. I plan on playing this course a couple times this year.

Bit of a challenge

Not a long course but some holes are tight and challenging. Greens were still growing in from aeration. The course has improved with drainage from past yearsl

Excellent Value and Enjoyable Ride

I booked through Golf Now so got a discounted tee time. WHAT A BARGAIN!!! Beautiful course and really nice people.

The course was in great shape this early in the season, and offers as much challenge as you'd like. I played from the blue tees and had my hands full. I play to a 7 handicap, but not as long as I once was. There were a couple of forced carries from the blacks that wouldn't have reached the fairway.

The course is very fair. A few blind tee shots and approach shots make the game interesting, but overall what you see is what you get.

. The views are outstanding. Can't wait to play in the fall.

Overall, a great experience. Looking forward to returning.

Great condition early in the season

From the tee to the green I found the course to be in excellent condition and even though we have been experiencing rainy conditions. The drainage must be good considering the course was not nearly as wet as some others I have played in the same weather.

Nice course to play

Lots of slopes and hills but a beautiful course to play. A few holes are blind tee shots but no big surprises. A few of the pin placements were a bit annoying (on top of or on the edge of a ridge) but overall a very enjoyable course to play.

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.

greens

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