Driving Range Danger

The danger from balls flying over the net at the range is absolutely ridiculous and negligent. There need to be more employees watching to make sure they’re not endangering other people’s lives. Management, you clearly make more than enough money so do a better job. And just saying play at your own risk isn’t good enough.

Nice course, good condition.

First time playing this course and was very impressed. The layout is very tight with all the holes right on top of each other so be prepared for wayward shots to come near you. Course is very well maintained and greens were in great shape. Would recommend to anyone to try at least once.

Golfer hit in the head from driving range ball

I am only giving 1 star because of the blatant danger of the holes surrounding the driving range. I witnessed a golfer get hit in the head by a ball that was on-the-fly from the driving range. He was down on the ground for five minutes.

We called the driving range and told them that they should kick the person off the range that was continuously hitting balls onto 9 tee and 10 green.

Lo and behold, when my group was on 9 tee another ball landed on-the-fly on our tee box.

When I spoke with the employees at the driving range afterwards, they said there were people that were laughing about hitting it over the net. But, they did not throw them out for some reason. Perhaps they do not feel empowered to do so by management. I'm not sure.

One thing is for certain. Sterling Farms needs to enforce their driving range rules more, and make it explicitly clear that the liability for injuring or killing someone on the golf course is entirely the fault of the person hitting the ball.

There are a ton of driving range balls around the 6th and 8th green, the 9th tee, and the 7th fairway. Clearly, this is an ongoing issue, and one day there will be a tremendous lawsuit when someone is killed.

The man today was fortunately hit on the side of his skull, but away from his temple. It was a matter of inches that saved him from death.

Sterling Farms, the course is beautiful, but it is not worth someone's life. Empower your employees to warn golfers on the range that are blasting it over the net, and if they choose to continue to do so then kick them off the property. There are people on the other side of that net, and there is no warning when a ball flies in from the sky.

Best public course in Fairfield county

By far the best pubic course in Fairfield County. Very well maintained course, excellent driving range (mats) and a decent putting and chipping area. Times are hard to get (understandably). Having played $$$$ courses around the world, and a lot of the local courses in the county, can say with confidence this sets the right bar for quality for a public course at affordable prices.

First Class

Played the course for the first time today. Interesting layout, wi5 the only issue being that a couple of Par 3s are 190 off the White Tees, which is a bit long for my taste. The course is beautifully maintained and is one of the best munis I’ve ever played. Staff is well granites and very hospitable. I will be back!
