Pomperaug Golf Club / Southbury Ct

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Course fairways and rough well maintained. Greens were fair and a little slow but this was expected after heavy rains had just passed. Course had its challenges between tree placements on doglegs, water hazards that needed to be carried, and pin placements that challenged approach shots.
Very enjoyable

Good time

Caught some slower players after a few holes. Didn’t pick up after that but the course was in great shape.

Meh

Midday pace was easy. Mostly senior citizens so no one pushing you. I'm a senior by the way.
Course wide open with few difficult holes.
This is a no frills course. No starter. Riding paths in bad shape but greens good considering.
Terrible signage. 9th hole had no board so you don't know anything about the hole.

Great staff, great value

This 9 hole course can be hard to find because it is behind a hotel but drive around the hotel to the right and it will be worth it for an inexpensive round. The greens were excellent, the fairways well maintained and the design provided a good test of every shot and every club.

Are you kidding me?

As a Southbury resident, I play this course fairly frequently, when I want to get out for a quick nine and not have to drive a distance. On the good side, the owner/pro Dave Cook is a nice guy. But the course is poorly designed and maintained - people suggesting it’s one of the best nines in the state have lost there minds. Turf conditions are poor, there’s goose poop everywhere, and often pace of play is horrendous. It attracts the casual golfer due to price and being flat and easy to walk. There’s pond everywhere and shots often run off slopes into the pond because of poor grading.

At one point, Dave had the golf maintenance from the adjacent Heritage Hills course taking care of it. But they were too expensive, so the maintenance is done on a shoestring budget. If you play there, go with very low expectations.

Nice track overall

It's flat with lots of water and somewhat short, but worth playing 9 holes. If you go around twice you will be rewarded with knowing what not to do!
