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

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

Slow day
Not a bad golf course.Staff inside the clubhouse and the starter were friendly.Practice green was in good shape.Layout is good and the fairways and greens are in good shape.
The only bad part of the day was getting stuck behind a foursome who would not let us play through.We caught them on the second hole and were stuck waiting for them to hit their second,third-and sometimes fourth shot before we could tee off.
Absolutely baffles me that a lot of so call golfers have no golf etiquette or even good manners.Repair your divots and ball marks and don’t take your frustrations out on the course.
The bunkers lack a lot of sand but this course is still well worth playing
Dry after rain
Although we had over 8 in of rain was only one hole that was affected at all The greens were still firm and rolled good the courses in the excellent shape considering the rain we got you can't even hardly tell except for the second hole keep up the good work
Challenge accepted
Love coming here to play, just wish they had a ranger to watch pace of play sometimes
Nice course but slow greens.
Course conditions were good overall. The greens were very slow and tough to read. It is not a woman friendly course because there are many elevated greens adding to the distance to the holes.
No starter or Ranger
Pace of play has slowed considerably the last two times playing the course. Tee times spaced 10 minutes apart are too frequent for a public course with a wide level of skill levels on the course. Lack of starter results in twosomes not being paired up, which slows play further. No ranger on course to monitor and help speed up the pace of play leaves faster groups no options other than to wait for slow groups ahead, which results in rounds 5-6 hours long, or skipping holes to avoid rounds longer than five hours.
need to do something about pace of play
took over 5 hours - course backed up on every hole - seemed like a few foursomes were way too slow
Decent course but terrible pace
First time here, conditions were fair..little damp but that’s due to weather. Tee’d off around 1130 and literally waited on line to tee off on holes 8-10. There was a group of 7 and another of 6 backing everyone up. Multiple groups including mine left before playing all 18. Decent place, but that was absurd.
No ranger
The best thing know which golf course could do to make it a better experience is to have a ranger on the course to keep people from ball hawking and looking for balls 20 minutes every hole a lot of people don't play golf because the five six hour rounds it takes to play they need to keep people moving and have them keep up with the group in front of them without a ranger that is impossible
Awful pace
Overall I enjoy this course and play it often, however lately the pace of play has been extremely bad. I've had multiple rounds over 4.5 hours. Today I started at 345 and finished at 9, struggling to see our drives on the last 3 holes. We saw a group of 8 people teeing off at one point. Needs more active rangers to keep pace up.
