Take a little pride in cleaning up the course

I understand it was still winter in Connecticut when I played the course, so just to get out and play is sort of a bonus. It had also rained hard about 5 days before I played. However, there were literally over 10,000 pine cones out there and plenty of branches all over the place. Even if it is still too wet to send any large equipment out there, don't tell me you can't send 1 or 2 guys out there with a backpack blower and a rake and a utility cart to pick them up.

Happily surprised

Between the snow melting and the rain that followed for the previous week straight, I was happy to see the course was even open. There were definitely some wet spots, but the greens were in good shape. I was just happy to be out on a beautiful day in March. Thank you.

Lazy day in the sun

Got mixed up on a couple holes but the locals were quick to help with directions. Fun little course with few obstacles.

Horrible prices horrible pace horrible overall condition of course and no one seems to care

This is one of the worst courses I’ve ever paid and they have the audacity to change 60-75 a round with a cart, the carts were terrible they barely ran the pace of play was the absolute slowest I’ve ever experienced I had to skip two holes to pass some extremely slow players and another group had 3 carts and 5 people in their group, the place is not cared for and it shows DO NOT GOLF HERE UNLESS YOU GET A DEAL IT IS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME OR MONEY

Good Course, Great Value

For the price, this course is hard to beat. Course overall was in good condition aside from the bunkers and a few waterlogged spots along the course due to all the rain recently. Holes are on top of each other so keep your head on a swivel for offline drives.

Staff is very friendly. I've never seen the beer cart come around so frequently - a huge plus.

Greens were fast and in very good condition.

Easily walkable for 18 holes. Overall a good course at a hard to beat price.
