Reviewer Photos
-
The 1st, par-5, 474 yards, index 1. The tough opener demands, ideally, a shot over this pond–leading to a wedge for the third shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Two, par-4, 371. Terrific par-4, its driving zone rolling, its green canted back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Three, par-4, 355. Short but tricky four-par that finishes on this slightly raised and small green. (The hog’s back fourth fairway lies in background). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Six, par-5, 490. Almost the opposite of the opening par-5, this doglegs right and plays to a relatively flat green fronted by a bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Eight, par-4, 402. An outstanding, tough dogleg playing to a well-protected green. Great driving hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
Nine, par-4, 329. Short but lethal: tight fairway; dogleg right; raised and sloping green. A hard finisher from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/08/2023
-
The drive is hardly a piece of cake at Hop Brook’s first, but each shot may seem tougher than the previous one. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
A cross hazard–this pond–makes for a risk/reward situation at #1. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Fairway two includes a pronounced swale on the way to the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Behind the third green is an unpleasant drop-off that makes a pitch back onto the putting surface difficult. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Seven, a mid-length par-3, is well protected by flanking bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
Eight is my favorite hole on the course, a rigorous par-4 of 402. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/07/2022
-
1st hole: Par-5, 474. A stream crosses the second-shot landing zone. A risk-reward proposition. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
3rd hole: Par-4, 355. A pair of golfers moves toward the landing spots of their drives. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The fifth: Par-3, 153. Classic tee shot from on high, much higher than when I played HB as a teenager. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
Six: An outstanding par-5 of 490. Dogleg right. If you want to make it a two-shotter, you’ll need to miss this bunker. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The sixth hole from behind, showing the course’s pleasant parkland style. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021
-
The beautiful 8th hole, a par-4 of 402. Though not seen well in this shot, the fairway ripples nicely. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/23/2021

First timer
Pro shop looked like it was about to collapse, but was usable. Parking was a bit awkward. I did not go into the restaurant. The greens, fairways and bunkers were in very good condition except for hole 9, which was being plugged, so was awkward. I accomplished to knock off another item on my bucket list by playing there. Now I've played over 120 courses in CT!!!!

Great course, sloooooow play
Love playing this little course. The staff is always great and it’s usually in good shape. I have noticed the pace of play is painfully slow. They really need a ranger to push people along. Other than that it’s a great time. The restaurant in the same parking lot is great

One of my favorite 9 holes course
We travel about 35 mins to come play hop Brook. The course is in very good conditions considering the summer we’ve had this year.

Relaxed Environment
The course has seen better days. The rough grass is equivalent to my backyard grass, and there are dead patches on the fairways. but was a cute little course with small fast greens. No one was rushing you to finish, even though we finished the 9 in sub 2 hours. A good course for beginners, as there were a lot of high handicap golfers out there.

9 hole public golf in great condition
Considering most of Connecticut is in a drought, Hop Brook is in excellent condition. The fairways, tee boxes, greens and rough are lush green. The sand traps were up above average for where I normally play. This course has 9 unique holes that are enjoyable to play.
