The third, a dogleg left of 376, typifies most of the holes on this course: not long, but challenging in other ways. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022
-
Seven ( # 3 index) seems like one of the best par-4’s in Connecticut. This photo doesn’t reveal just how tough it is to make a par here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Eleven is another great hole, its protected green seen here in the shadows. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

Twelve, another challenging par-5, plays downhill and through the woods. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/13/2022

A closer look at the back of the clubhouse, with the third’s fairway (doglegging left) in the foreground. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

Green six is fronted by a daunting, frontal bunker with a high lip. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The tenth hole’s green is set fairly close to, but below, New London Turnpike. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

This sprawling bunker flanking the right side of hole 11 is typical of the challenges abounding on these eighteen. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

The fourteenth green, at 560 yards, will take two Herculean shots to reach in two, but anything less may find its way into the small brook before it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/22/2020

Nice Day, Slow play
Expected faster play once we got started but that didn't happen. Early morning frost delayed start time but we still finished over 5 hours. Long waits between holes!

“Pace Off”
Public courses are perfect for all caliber of players but there should be a course ranger monitoring the course rules (no coolers, trap and green repair, lost ball time, etc.) and especially pace of play. My wife and I played 18 holes in 5 hours and waited on EVERY HOLE!!! Ugh!!!

Very good condition
The course was in very good condition considering the extreme heat and dry weather we have been having. The course was laid out well and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our round which we finished well under 4 hours. The front 9 was far easier than the back 9 which has two very challenging par 5's on it. I would recommend this course.
