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

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

Maddening pace of place
I understand the Covid golf Craze that is happening. But this is ridiculous !
There is NO Marshell out on the course leaving You high and dry with patrons who DO NOT belong on a course like this.
A group of hackers with 3 holes open in front of them, held the entire course hostage.
We had to call it QUITS after 14 holes, for fear I would take my own life if I had to wait another 20 minutes before I hit my next shot.
Management HAS to get this under control!

Unfathomably Slow
I’ve never seen a slower course in my life. It took us 3+ hours to play 9.
I paid for 18 and bowed out after 9, that’s how bad it was. I told the rangers what a joke it was and they said “that’s how it is”. Unbearable.

disapponting
I have pla They can do better at Norwichyed this course many times. This time the rough has been left very long. I was told it was due to the excessive heat that the rough was as long as it was. But this case it was very punitive. It was so long and thick you could not find your ball in the rough. It was a very long round due to so many players unable to find their ball.
I did not plan to play under U S Open conditions.

Slow hackers
Course is always in great shape. But pace of play make you want to drive the cart into a wall. I guess this may be the new norm as everytime we play its slow going.
