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

Decent Day
First—all staff were very nice—people on course were nice—just slow play. Course itself was good. For a high handicapped golfer some of the blind shots and the greens were tough. I did manage one 60 yard hole out on the 17th green for birdie which is a blind shot. We could have used a ranger to help out. The restaurant food was also very good, but also a little slow. Nice day

Nice course in great shape
This course is very nice but priced VERY high.
This makes it difficult to play there.
It would be nice if discounts were given to residents.

Very Slow
Course was decent and the staff were friendly enough but the pace of play was painfully slow, No rangers on the course to try and enforce proper pace

Pace of play is frustrating.
Over all great course with the super Caddy Shack Restaurant.
But the pace of play is infuriating! As all courses are in this post Covid era. Rangers MUST enforce time and hackers.
