Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane

We had a great day, course staff are great, very welcoming and to get you all set up. Very good convenient practice areas with putting greens, chipping and driving range. The course layout is good with fair but difficult green (nice and fast). I would recommend to anyone.

Oak lane is the best public course in the state. They have the best staff, best greens and work the hardest I’ve seen to keep play moving out there. If you haven’t played, check it out

I really wanted to like this course but we will not be

coming back. I liked the front nine but holes 12 through 16 are pretty beat up. The sand traps are horrendous.

I was surprised to find such a nice course within 15 minutes driving distance from New Haven. The course is as described “holes are mostly straightforward with a few tricky doglegs...confronted with the occasional water hole.” It has wide fairways and appears deceptively straightforward, yet it tests accuracy in long drives and short-game skills. The greens are fast and you are advised to place the ball before rather than after the pin for putting ease. It is a pleasure to play amidst nature setting with melodious call of different birds. The carts are equipped gps so the screen display distances accurately. The staff is very friendly and helpful with refreshments being served on the course. Overall it is worth many visits.

Great deal. Fair but challenging course. Very fast greens with lots of slope.

Very nice course. Driving range and practice area was also nice. Greens were very fast which made it hard for the average player.

Very nice course especially if you never played it. Would recommend.

I play this course fairly regularly, so I am very familiar generally with the course conditions over the years. Traditions at Oak Lane is usually in excellent condition; however, because of the above average rain this Spring 2019, the grounds crew has not been able to keep the course in great condition. The bunkers had tons of water still in them during my round, the fairways were pretty soaked -- and this definitely reduced my enjoyment . Still, I will give the management another chance to get it right. The price, however, should reflect these conditions -- so paying $55 for a wet, cart path-only round wasn't ideal.

Our foursome completed our round in four hours and ten minutes. The pace of play was good. The greens were the best of any course we played this year. The greens rolled like tour greens and the layout is great except for the first hole which is the starting hole and also the toughest to play and took the longest time to play.The fairways were cut down low and the rough was just a little thick. The staff is very friendly and we stopped in the clubhouse for a bite to eat and a drink.The course has nice ammenities which include a grass driving range,large putting green and a chipping and sand trap practice area. There is even a food and beverage cart girl making several rounds while you play. I would recommend this course to other players and our group will be coming back to play it again.

The course is doing very well, especially the greens. Got a great deal and due to the weather, no one was on the course that early. They won't let you walk before 2pm which is why I won't go back.

Excellent Staff, Greens, driving range.... course is in great shape with on going improvements!

I played here Saturday afternoon, it was a beautiful weather day, the course was packed and the greens are unbelievable! We played at a great pace and even saw the Ranger moving groups along. This place is awesome, GPS on the carts and a grass driving range. This will be my new home course.
