Pomperaug Golf Club

I had not played this course in a couple of years, and frankly I was shocked at how bad it has become. It appears the only part of the course receiving any water are the greens. I had played this course numerous times in the past during dry seasons and had never seen it like this. Every hole had some portion of it with brown, dormant grass - and some were completely brown. Additionally, many of the fairways have now become infested with weeds. Also, there are essentially no services available at this course, so take note of that. I do not recommend playing this any time soon. I listed the weather conditions as 'wet" because I played just after an afternoon shower had passed thru the area.

Have played this course for several years. It's easy to book a tee time. Last 2 years the pace has been super slow. Group ahead of us were on 3rd when we teed off. Caught up to them on 5th.
The drought has really hit this course in a bad way too. Lots of dirt spots on the fairways.

This was my second time playing this course. The layout is beautiful. Lots of water. Tee boxes and fairways are in fair condition. Lots of shredding. Could use some upkeep. The staff was very friendly but the pace of play was slow. Some people walking while some riding. Overall, I would play again for a practice session but it won’t be my first choice.

Should there be a three-group back up on the tee box of a par 5?
Should a 9 hole round take 2hr 40 minutes?
Should three groups tee off within 12 minutes?

If you answered no to any of these questions I think you should pass. Really one of the more frustrating rounds in recent memory - clearly overbooked.

Could be a fun course to play otherwise.

The staff was very friendly and loved the layout of the course. Very challenging ! Will definitely return again , Thanks!

Nice challenging course, got teamed up with two members at T time and they made this morning alot of fun. Cant wait to play here again

I dont like giving negative reviews but I just felt like I had to here. Couldnt tell where the fairways were. Dead short grass everywhere. Teeboxes were in very poor shape. On a good note everything around the greens was well kept and watered. I will not be returning

We always have fun at this course as it is easy access for us. They do provide last minute tee times to try to get you in if possible. Friendly people up front. Green stay in great condition. RL

Was able to play 9 holes with friend and my 78 year old Mom. It was enjoyable. People on course were patient and courteous. Course was a bit hard due to dry weather and heat but it helped get some distance for those “rollers”. Nice layout. Would play again and recommend it for a casual game.

Course was in very poor shape. The first green is also the green for the 5th or 6th hole and it totally throws you off. Grass was all dead.

Not bad on a hot day but wouldn’t go there considering the quality of the fairways and the very slow pace of play.

We love this course. Going there pretty much every week. We began golfing last October and this course has his challenges but not too hard. Some nice distances, hole 8 is over the water and the hardest is 9, very strategic.

First time playing this course. Somewhat challenging, lots of water nice greens.
Friendly people playing and friendly staff
Definitely will return.

Busy day at course which caused slow down. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in good to excellent condition. Played with two local folks who helped with recommendations on shot placement, etc. Will play again next week.

A nice 9 hole course. Can be walked if you choose. Nice layout and some challenging holes. A fair course.

Played nine holes in 3 hours waited behind group of five forever ! Called the pro shop they said they. Would send somebody to get them moving, they never did . I was in group of four watching them take forever on the greens! Course was not in good condition many bare spots greens bumpy from the irrigation holes in each Green that did not heal after a month! Save yourself , don’t say you were not forewarned find another place to play., they send out groups of five turns in to six hour round!!!!

Considering all the rain in the area the course is very playable. They are really trying to maintain the course and keep it up to good condition. The greens were disappointing as many have not healed Properly from aerification . Overall with the weather we have been experiencing it was about what I expected.
