Connecticut National Golf Club

Great turf condition! Well maintained. Defense of the course is the fast, undulating greens! Plenty of opportunities to three putt after a GIR!

Great conditions considering there is a drought. Great, difficult greens.

The course was in very good shape for the terrible and rough year that we had weather wise in Connecticut. The greens were in excellent shape and some of the tee boxes were a little bit beat up, but you can see that they had just refilled them and reseeded them so they're definitely making an effort and those should be back within a few weeks. Found a great deal on golfnow.com. Pace of play was surprisingly slow for a Friday afternoon. 5 hours plus, didn't see one ranger and we finished in the dark and there was still 4 groups behind us who definitely didn't finish. I like this course because the fairways are fairly wide and then there's a little bit of room in the rough usually before you get in too much trouble so you can usually find your tee shots, and there is a good amount of bunkering around the green, and some of the greens are a little bit tough but none are unfair. It is a solid course I try to play there every year when I get a chance.

hit good shot you get rewarded, hit it a little off line you got to work for par. fast greens.

2nd time playing Connecticut National. 7:30 tee time from golfnow for $37 cart included. Pace of play was excellent 3:30 for 18. Course layout is a combination of links style & tree lined holes. Course is good condition, with fairways, greens , and rough all very good. Greens are very challenging, featuring a lot of undulation and VERY fast from above the hole. Approach shot placement and chipping/putting are keys for a good score here.

A couple of items to note - The course did not open until 7am. The driving range mats (mats only today) are in terrible condition and need to be replaced. Course did not have drinks / snacks for sale today, bring your own.

The greens and fairways were manicured beautifully. Greens are undulating and crisp.

Slowest play ever. 2 foursomes walking in front of us the entire round. Pace of play terrible. Never saw the cart girl. Called club house and they said she was done for the day. Was highly looking forward to playing this course but now I won’t be back. Only was able to play 15 holes, while having a 3:20PM tee time. Unacceptable.

I had heard good things at my local course in central Connecticut but was still surprised what a beautiful course this is. Conditions were great and the tall blond fescue growing in the rough made it look like a US Open venue. If you expect to score well you better place your approach shots below the hole. The greens are as fast and undulating as any I have ever played. But if you played Augusta would you complain about the greens being too hard to putt?

Let me start off by saying that this course is always in good condition. However, with the drought and the overall conditions of every other course in the area, Connecticut National went above and beyond this time. The greens are perfect. Lightning fast like most of the time I play there. The fairways are in great condition. I didn’t see any super noticeable dead spots or dry spots. The grounds crew here deserve a huge thumbs up for a job well done
