Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane
Rating Snapshot
About
Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane is situated in the quiet town of Woodbridge, just 20 minutes from New Haven. Formerly known as Oak Lane County Club, the course was both renamed and renovated when it was acquired by the management team at The Tradition Golf Club at Wallingford. Many of the holes were updated but the golf course retained its challenging but playable nature. Though the course is player friendly enough to appeal to players of all skill levels, there are still several challenges in store. Numerous strategically placed bunkers lurk along the greens and towering trees also frame most of the holes. The holes are mostly straightforward with a few tricky doglegs to keep you on your toes. You'll also be confronted with the occasional water hole. Both your accuracy and short-game skills will be tested at Tradition Golf Club at Oak Lane.

Converted private course
More interesting and diverse than most public courses since it was previously private. Played several times this season and always in good condition.
The best option among the golf courses in a 10 miles radius from downtown New Haven, CT
The layout is pleasant, the greens properly maintained (compared to other courses in the area) and the staff very accommodating.
Last but not least, the club house ambiance is live, and there is a reasonably large choice of drinks and food.
Great layout!
Roughs are left way too long. Mgt still working with course maintenance after recent conversion from private to public.
Good Variety
The Tradition at Oak Lane is a well-maintained course that offers a variety of holes that work every club in your bag. They have Par 3"s from 120-180 yds, par 4"s from 300-445 yds and par 5's from 450 -545 yds. Doglegs, uphills, downhills.
Greens are in good condition and fast.
Fun to play.
Too stacked up on the first tee, long rounds
They don't have enough time between tee times for the first hole which is the hardest hole on the course and a par five. Even the second hole is very hard with difficult pins that everyone 3 putts. Bad start, swap the nines. Great layout, good golf if they could maintain a good pace.
Best value in New Haven County
Oak Lane provides an extrodinary golf experience for the experienced duffer considering the course was on the brink of extinction a few years ago. The layout is challanging and fair. Most of the greens are sloped back to front allowing aggresive approoaches and all are in excellent shape, even this late in the season. The bunkers are where they should be and have a consistant granular feel. Pick your clubs carefully off the tee, many holes require position over distance to score effectively.
I tried Oak Lane once and have not missed a week since.
Also, the food in the clubhouse is excellent and the bar is great.
A complete and highly satisfying golf oasis. Not to be missed

A well maintained challenging course
I was very surprised to find this local gem. It is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. A nice layout and not crowded. Truly a secret to share only with your closest friends.
enjoy playing here
If I rate it poorly will it continue to be less crowded?
Never had a bad experience here
