Much improved, Aug 27, 2010

reviewer: John W from Hamden

This course really used to be a cow pasture, but in the last few years conditions have improved dramatically - the greens and fairways are in excellent shape. The course is pretty short and open so it doesn't present a lot of challenges to the skilled golfer, but still a much nicer course than it used to be.

overpriced, Dec 29, 2007

reviewer: Tom from North Haven, CT

Overpriced for an average 9 hole course, the guy Carl can be exceptionaly rude especially to youg adults. They openly admit that they dislike young adults playing on the course. Alot of first timers play there and can slow play horribly

Sleeping Giant, Jan 20, 2004

reviewer: Lance Manion from Boston, MA

This course has come a long way in a short time. It flows well with redesigned holes, sprawling views, upgraded grounds and greens conditions and a new driving range. Good parking and friendly staff are a plus.

"Fun, yet challenging for any level golfer..."
The course will grow on you. The first time I played it, the course kicked my hind-parts. Every hole has a different look and challenge. The fairways and greens are always in great shape, even though they don't overseed in the cold months. Because the course sits high, even though it was built on wetlands, there is always wind, and therefore a challenge. The course will beckon you back time and again. Very nice play and good staff.

"Test your shot-making"
Play a fade, use a draw, this course tests your shot making ability. Don't worry about spinning the ball: most greens are flat or tilt toward the tee. Great course.
