Connecticut National Golf Club

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

It helped that the weather was perfect and I was paired with a bunch of fun golfers. The condition of the course was very good and the greens were outstanding. This is a really nice course and a great value.

This was my first time playing this course, probably due to the hour and fifteen minute drive to get there.It was worth it. The course is well kept and green. Speaking of green, the greens are quick, and if not careful it was easy to go right off the green .It seemed like a long course when playing it. The fairways are fairly wide and the trees are groomed so you can find an occasional errant hit. Some of the tee boxes reminded me what mountain courses are like, with scenic views that make you want to just look for a moment before teeing off. I am planning to take the drive again in the near future back to this gem in the woods. Try it; you will like it.

The course was in a great shape. The greens were firm and fast. Hole position of several holes were difficult. Fairways were well maintained. Overall, the course was good.

Had a great time playing this course. The fairways and tee boxes were in good condition with just a few burnt spots due to the weather. The greens make this course. They are fast and slope left to right and front to back. Recommend spending 20 minutes on the practice green to get used to the speed. If you don't 3-putt at least once or twice on this course I would be surprised. The course layout is hard but fair. The car girl came around often. My only problem with this course was the pace of play. 5 hours to play 18 holes on a Friday morning. There was no starter or Ranger on the course,really should have had a ranger as the twosome in front of us couldn't keep up with the group ahead and hadnt the courtesy to let us play through. That said I would recommend anyone to play here and hope you have a hot putter as you will need it.

The greens were extremely hard and nothing would stay. A good shot to the green would roll off, very frustrating. To add to the frustrations, we waited on every hole, one of our foursome left before finishing...waiting was ruining his game. They should space out tee times more to make up for newcomers to the game that take extra time for every shot etc.
