Connecticut National Golf Club

This course has so many different style of holes, tee to green is rather simple, greens are tricky, below average golfers can struggle with the undulations and breaks. Definitely a course where you can’t wait to play again !!

Traveled 1:45 minutes to get there. Was worth every mile driven. Course conditions all around are great . The one thing that was difficult was the greens. Very very tough . Didn’t like the pin placements.really unfair and borderline impossible without 3 putting. I am a10-11 handicap and the course itself was pretty standard, the greens were a little over the top that made my final score a bit high. Although I do recommend this course and you venture out to play this course , you. Will see I’m not aggregating the difficulty of the greens. It’s still worth the trip. Good. Luck..

Overall, this course is in terrific shape and has some very fun holes within the 18. Not an overall tough course, but there are some pitfalls along the way that you can easily avoid after you learn where they are. Two par fours are drivable for single handicappers. Three of the par fives are reachable in 2. Whole number one is a par five and whole number 18 as a part five. Greens are in terrific shape, although could be faster. The restaurant is not really big but looks like they recently did a renovation and the menu is a full dinner menu versus a typical golf club with a few selections. Pro shop is basically a cashier with just a few items not a place you would go to buy golf gear.

The biggest drawback for me was this courses location. Unless you live somewhere on 395 getting there from the west is a long tedious and a boring ride. It’s a good 40 minutes once you get off route 84 E, and you’ll be on no less than six different roads. Many of the roads are 25 mph and very curvy. Having said that, I like the course enough to say I’ll live with the long ride to play it again. $75 w/cart.

The course is in great shape and is pretty challenging (for reference I’m a 7 handicap who plays from the tips). The greens are the most difficult I’ve played so far. You have to pay attention to where you want to put the ball on the green when chipping, otherwise you’re going to be off the green.

You get unlimited range balls, which is awesome if you’re like me and play courses that make you pay $10+ for a few dozen.

The only knock on this place is that after I played my round I wanted a beer and burger and when I went to the clubhouse pub I was completely ignored until no one else was in the bar area. I get that I’m not a local and I was the only person the bartender didn’t know on a first name basis, but I’ve been in the industry for over a decade and that’s just unacceptable. So instead I drove somewhere else for dinner. I know the $30ish I would’ve spent isn’t going to bankrupt the place but I can’t help but wonder how many people this happens to and how much business the course loses.

Anyway, great course, was just a little disappointed to be utterly ignored when all I wanted to do was throw back a few beers and stuff my face.

Beautiful course that was so... disappointing! Thought this would be a great place to meet halfway- Boston- Fairfield only to be frustrated beyond belief! The pin placements were done by someone who must have "hated" golfers! On slanted greens, 2 feet from the back of the green, etc. There was NO WATER to drink, ball washers, pictures of holes anywhere. Restaurant was closed too. So many other better places to play and won't be recommending or going back.

If you havent made it to this course it is a must.Great from tee to green.Nice layout ,well maintained

This is heaven on earth. Don’t forget to bring ya putter you’re gonna need it. Don’t know why anyone would wanna go anywhere else. 80$ for 18w/cart on weekends? It’s just downright unbeatable. Best golf in all of CT

This course can be unforgiving but a 5:15 round for a Monday mid morning tee time? Just Brutal.

Course condition - Greens A, Fairways & rough B+, Bunkers D (hard packed sand), Tee boxes B+

This course exceeded my expectations. It was a fair price for a well manicured, beautiful layout. I’d definitely play this course again.

Challenging course. Play from the proper tee box according to your ability not you ego. You’ll enjoy it.

Who knew this course even existed? Luckily I was gomping (golf/camping) in the area and saw it on golf now. Awesome layout and conditions, green very tricky but fun. Go play it!

Always in great shape. Always run perfectly. Best in state

I play this course a few times every year. I've never had a bad experience at this course. Highly recommend

The greens were electric. Course in great shape. Wonderful day. I enjoyed the dog-leg right holes. Knowing the slope of greens and pin placement would have been valuable info.

Always a fantastic day at CT National only complaint was the greens were very sandy. That being said they still rolled fairly true and were speedy as always. Just a pain having your ball and putter covered after every stroke. Will definitely be back in the future the rest of the course was pristine
