Hawk's Landing Country Club

My first time playing and I really liked the layout of the course and the design of the holes but that is pretty much it. Greens had been top dressed the day I played or the day before and it was like putting on the beach. The tee box’s were all beat up which was dissapointing.

Played on 6/19 Juneteenth. After 3-4 holes pace bogged down. A few holes later, the group in front of ours mentioned that course manager had inserted a couple of extra groups in front of our rotation. What nonsense and utter greed. We will never play Hawk's Landing again. Not worth the trip, even if they offered us a mulligan. Ciao,,,

A lot of the greens were covered in needles,. Almost every trap was overgrown with weeds and the rough was extremely high. The tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. The course is short and very tight.

Been there many times in the last few years with no issues , but took me 5 hours to play 18 holes when we teed off early sat morning. I’m sure it affected the whole day . Someone should monitor play and if a group falls 2 -3 holes behind the group ahead of them someone should adress the issue

Some tee boxes not mowed (ankle high grass). Most tee boxes not even close to being level. Greens generally in fair shape with some being in good shape. Fairways generally in fair shape with some being poor. Some bunkers either missing or having a lot of grass growing in them. Very expensive for the course condition.

Unusual layout with some par 4s and par 3's acout the same length. Not your average round. Good scoring opportunities and some real thinking holes.

The course let their superintendent go over the winter and it really shows. The tee boxes were in moderate shape and need work. the Greens were good, but the fairways also showed considerable wear. They were mowing the rough for what appeared to be the first time in about two months as the grass was knee high.

The greens and around greens are in good condition. Some good holes like 11 out of 18 with two long over water par 3s. Bunker are all basically growing weeds in them. Not worth this hot deal price even so many other courses out there for the price or under. I went through golf pay from hawks website for $45 with a cart or $30 walking. I would say worth it for that but should be less for the conditions

I played here on a beautiful early fall afternoon today, when the weather was actually hot. The course’s fairways and roughs, still saturated from the heavy rains of several days ago, gulped golf balls and left them plugged–and I found a couple of lost balls by virtually stepping on them. Conditions suffered from the wetness, as the roughs, tees, greenside areas, and fairways needed mowing, while the bunkers remained essentially washed out. Only the greens were good, but even they had some modest detritus from the recent streams of water that had been running across them.

The layout proved fun to play, once again. After my last few rounds here, one of my favorite holes has become the sixth, a hole that was easy to dislike–initially. But now I see it, after repeated plays, as a challenging but fair driving hole, with a

forced carry over a pond to a fairway that seems just wide enough for comfort. It’s really what lies outside of the fairway borders that will make for a tricky GIR should you fail to find the short grass.

HL is still on my short list of worthwhile Connecticut courses that are enjoyable each time out. A couple of the holes–seven and eight–may seem a bit quirky, but they’re still quite playable given straight tee shots. If you’re game for it, though, seven will up the ante by its infusion of risk-reward into the mix. Just don’t hook it off the tee.
