Pomperaug Golf Course, a Ted Manning design, opened for play in 1971. This is the second hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2023
-
The third plays as a par-4–but from this forward tee is also an excellent three-par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2023
-
At five, the tee shot (blue tees) needs to travel some 190 yards to reach the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2023
-
The course features six water hazards: five ponds and the river. Some, like this pond, verge on more than one hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2023
-
The sixth’s dogleg is closely guarded by tall trees; the fairway concludes–as shown here–on a raised green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2023

The fourth fairway is sided by a long pond that does not favor slicers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/23/2022

The sixth green, seen from its left flank (it’s also a double green shared with the first). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/23/2022
-
The ninth green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/23/2022
-
From behind the ninth green, with a down its fairway; the river intervenes, making this green tricky to hit in regulation. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/23/2022
-
At the third, a carefully placed drive off the tee is a must. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022
-
Another view of the third hole, from the tee at which you can play it as a par-three–on the “back nine.” Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022
-
A view down the long fourth fairway, as seen from green three. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022
-
The sixth, a dogleg left, requires a straight drive and solid approach into this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022
-
As seen from the back tee, set at 200-yards, this is hole eight. The tee shot must at least carry the pond if you hope to par the hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022
-
There are two kinds of misses that become costly into the ninth green: A) landing around five yards shy of the front fringe, and B) even shorter than that. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/25/2022

Par-4 Second: A small berm defends the front of the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/19/2021

Autumnal scene at hole four. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/12/2020

The sixth, seen from the right rough, is a par-four that plays as well as it looks. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/12/2020

Four: The 448-yard par-4’s fairway is seen (to the left) here from across the same large pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020

Ninth: The par-four finisher being played by the foursome in front of me. Each is thinking closely—no doubt—about the carry over the Pomperaug River. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020
-
The first: green and its environs on a neat opening hole. The course retains a parkland feel throughout. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020
-
A big bunker guards the left front of green four, which is two-tiered. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020

The sixth is one of Pomperaug’s outstanding holes, a dogleg-left leading to the ‘back-side’ of this double green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020
-
The conclusion to this seventh hole may look a bit benign, but the rest of the hole is a monster. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020
-
Hole eight is one of two long and classic three-pars here. Ducks are lounging to the right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020

A river runs through it: On the ninth, you’ll be crossing the Pomperaug River to find this green on your final approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/11/2020

One: A terrific 346-yard opener with a tight landing zone (view from behind green). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020

PGA Pro Dave Cook added this tee at three, allowing hole to be played also as a 153-yard par three the second time around. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020
-
Three: Same hole from green's left flank. As a short par-4, it doglegs right around this pond. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020
-
Flowing green contours at the fifth, a long and challenging four-par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020
-
From the right rough, a view of the sixth green, a strong par-4. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020

You'll need a solid, straight tee shot to land on the well guarded eighth green (sand hazards hidden from this view). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/10/2020

Great Greens
I have played Pomperaug previously and I must say it is always a pleasure. The course is playable for all levels and the greens are some of the best around. A very picturesque course with water on every hole. Love the people who are always happy to help and found out yesterday that their patio restaurant is now open with fabulous burgers and dogs. Could use a bit more variety on tee placement from white tees to blue but not anything to detract from the wonderful day.

Loved playing this course. The greens were very smooth and true and it was an excellent mix of long and short holes. Water on almost every hole only added to the beauty of the course. Would recommend to golfers of all levels.
