The game at Hawk’s landing begins with a downhill, driveable par-4, along with some vivid spring colors to the right of the tee box. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
On the inward half, you begin with the course’s most difficult hole: 410 yards; a very tight tee shot to an awkward landing zone; an elevated green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
The eleventh, a beautiful short par-4, is also a fine drive and pitch hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
A view of the strongly undulating 14th green. A Par-4 of 400 yards through the trees. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
Fifteen is a tight par-5–where both the tee ball and second shot are demanding. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
With several great holes at HLGC, it’s hard to pick which one as its “signature.” In my opinion, it is the par-5 seventeenth–as seen here from behind its tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/29/2025
-
At this par-3 of 180 yards, the second green is well protected. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/10/2024
-
Four is a short par-4 that plays slightly uphill. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/10/2024
-
The par-4 seventh may be driven in one shot, provided you hit a near-perfect tee ball. A view from its fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/10/2024
-
Nine is a classic and lengthy three-par. Your tee shot needs to traverse a pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/10/2024
-
The fourth is straightforward from the tee to this contoured and tricky-to-read putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
Five is simply a classic downhill four-par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
In the late-afternoon shadows, the seventh hole looks inviting though its fairway is narrow. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
Among the toughest par-3s in the state, the ninth is a Frankenstein’s monster of a golf hole. This view comes from fairway eight. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
Twelve is a simple but good par-three that plays slightly uphill and over a small stream. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
This snapping turtle, which I found situated near the stream alongside hole five, was not aggressive. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/05/2023
-
Framed by Connecticut woodland, the longish, par-3 second hole demands a good tee shot for a GIR. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
The well-groomed fourth fairway glides uphill to a slightly-pitched green, which is guarded by a pair of flanking bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
Five, my favorite hole on the front side, ends on a green complex that allows for run-up shots. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
At the challenging dogleg-right sixth hole, part of the green’s backdrop are a pond and a pair of attractive homes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
Another view across the sixth green, with the first green and fairway behind. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
The par-3 eighteenth may be non-traditional for a finishing hole, yet in its own right is a classic. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/04/2023
-
The 3rd fairway at HLGC wends its way past woods, a marshy depression, bunkers and clusters of tall trees–a short but feisty par-5. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
Hole five plays downhill to a broad but still well-protected fairway that punishes errant drives. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
This pond–fronting the sixth green–may seem to be owned by this pair of graceful swans. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
Seven, a short and driveable four-par, plays steeply uphill to its fortified green complex. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
Architect Geoffrey Cornish designed the ninth to be a brutal four-par that takes no prisoners: a watery grave awaits shots that fall short of its plateau green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
A view of hole eleven, a drive-and-pitch affair yet one of my favorite holes at Hawk’s Landing. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/25/2023
-
Risk-reward holes, such as the driveable par-4 seventh, add an extra dimension to Hawk’s Landing. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
View from behind the par-3 twelfth green, which sits on a small terrace above the small strip of fairway prefacing its putting surface. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
Fourteen, a 400 yard par-4, should be a strategic proposition from tee to green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
I met the course’s genial starter, Mr. Jack Fager, out on the fifteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
In the vicinity of green seventeen are plenty of hazards. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
Eighteen, par-3, 190. The uphill closer has a lone bunker (not in view here) sitting short and right of its green. But it hardly needs it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/16/2022
-
The first: Driveable, short par-4 with a well protected green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022
-
In late May, a pleasant, sunny view down the third fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022

A tall tee at the fifth hole affords a clear view of the landing zone below. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022

The seventh tee and fairway, viewed from behind. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022
-
Seven again, ascending upward to its plateau green, where a foursome is putting out. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022
-
The par-three ninth will demand one of your best tee shots of the day. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/25/2022
-
HL’s fourth is a nice looking, short four-par that plays uphill all the way to the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022
-
The fifth’s tee shot is dramatic–and the entire hole an excellent par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022
-
A pond is set at the crook of the dogleg at hole six, a 354-yard challenger. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022
-
Seven is one of the best short four-pars I can think of in Connecticut. It’s risk-reward if you dare try to drive the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022
-
The tee shot at nine (par-3, 235 from blues) must traverse a large pond and land upon a plateau green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022
-
At 18, you’re charged with another tough, long tee shot to an elevated green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 04/15/2022

Need work
Quite a few greens were in bad shape. Quite a few tee box need fixing. The cart paths are in rough shape. Since the last storm , they had a lot of tree damage.
I'll wait till next year to play this course again.

The worst
Conditions were not good. Tee boxes had long grass and were uneven. Fairways were too furry.
Staff was rude and demeaning.

Storm Damage
Course had a lot of damage after 7/4 storm. Still piles of debris scattered around and . Number 3 is now a par 3 until a net comes in to keep balls off the highway. Tee boxes were pretty beat up. Still a great course to play

Don't let your Hawk lamd in the rough
For a 9 hole coirse, this was honestly one of the most fun courses I've played in a long time. I played the red tees first, then the blues. That gave me the biggest yardage gap and it made it so much fun. As the title indicated, the rough was deep and thick. Your best option is to do everything possible to stay on the fairways. Lay up and don't be a hero. There was quite a bit of elevation changes on some holes as well. It was a shorter course but very challenging. The staff was friendly and helpful. What more can I say? It was a fun day.

Salute to a great turn around.
First let me say that the customer service at Hawks landing is second to none. And this has been this way for years no matter what transition they have gone through.
The course is in great shape and it feels good to play and see the visible improvements
The greens are rolling like glass and this is early in the season so I can just imagine what's to come.
Again salute to Hawks landing in the 2026 season looking forward to it.
