This well-conditioned course has water hazards coming into play on several holes. Even though the fairways are tree lined, they are wide open. The greens are large and fast. Since the terrain is so hilly, it can be quite a strenuous walk. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the #1 "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996. In addition, "Golf Digest" rated it 11th best under the category of "America's Top 75 Affordable Courses" in their 1996 list of "America's Best Golf Courses Everyone Can Play," and ranked it 18th among the "Top 75 Public Courses" for 1990. The same publication rated it as the 18th "Best in State" course for 1997-98. During weekdays, the first two hours of play are reserved for residents. The first three weekends of the season are first come, first serve for tee times, then the club uses the lottery system for setting times.

a pleasant surprise, Dec 31, 2004

reviewer: Antonio DeMoura from Bethel, CT

Breath taking views and a challenging course. It is a real treat to play at this course. Probably one of the best public courses in the country. Trust me because I've been to them all. LOL. Enjoy this place it's a real gem.

Beautiful Richter - A Great Test of Golf, Jul 23, 2004

reviewer: Peter Herger from CT

Having walked the nature grounds around Richter as a boy and having seen some of this golf course growing up, I was excited when I first took up golf and came back to play the course. Richter is spectacular, with numerous "postcard" views and natural charm, but it also represents a stern test of golf, challenging the player to play to the proper areas of fairways and greens while creating excitement with several forced carries over water, numerous holes where water comes into play, and several blind tee shots. Ultimately, it is a fabulous, gorgeous, and demanding set-up that represents the best of public golf.

Beautiful course !, Apr 19, 2004

reviewer: Eric from Norwalk, CT

I played this course for the fist time this past saturday (4/16) and loved it. I called at 9:30 am and reserved a tee time for 1:05!! This course has beatiful elevated tee boxes & unlike other hilly courses in the area it seems like you play 75% down hill. I found it very scenic and can't wait to get back up there.
