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
Golfer Reviews
Good course. Good value
The course was in decent shape. I have been playing it for a long time as I live in town.
The new improvements with the restaurant and the outside patio are real assets to this establishment.
