Today's weather was overcast, but the golf was phenomenal. The course is in outstanding condition! The staff is friendly and helpful and the rates are very reasonable. I have to come back on a sunny day... or during peak foliage... or both! As you can tell by the videos, I was rather talen with the bridges between holes. :)

This was a nice course, I can’t rate it properly because one of the players in our foursome kept talking and yelling to his friend/partner. I don’t expect people to be silent but this person ruined my round, he talked so much and so loudly that I had to plug my ears and hum to myself in order to focus. It’s fine when playing with friends but I think people need more self awareness when playing with two strangers. I’d like to try this course again under different circumstances.

It took me 2.5 hours to get to this beautiful and challenging muni track last 06/20/2026, one of only two designed by Pete Dye in CT with the other being the TPC River Highlands. This track lived up to its billing as the #2 ranked course in CT (2025) so I'm happy to report that every mile from my 131 mile trip was was worth it. As a walker, the course was not too challenging despite the elevation changes but the the raised curbs on more than a few holes was a bit of a nuisance. There were a few moderate gaps between holes that needed traversing for a walker but it didn't require more than a 5 minute walk. As a walker, I noticed that there were no water stations available but there was a mobile cart lady driving around so be prepared to bring your own supply. With regards to the course conditions, fairways were acceptable but given that it was a muni course, the conditions were passable but wasn't enough to find any fairway as being in a better condition to be considered lush. The greens were passable with not too many pitch marks and the traps were well-maintained. Nevertheless, the greens ran true with the speed being a little bit on the fast side. Despite playing with my "F game" that day from the green tees to shoot another mediocre round of 92, I was still a bit happy after notching a well deserved Birdie from 9.5 feet on the 17th after flushing my tee shot from a gripped-down 7 Wood from 181 yards that flew straight towards the pin that ended up pin high and left of the hole. I still had to repair a couple of pitch marks on my line but my putt was a bit firm as I aimed right edge of the hole. Fortunately, my putt was center cut as my ball went in for a well deserved Birdie. I was also proud of myself to have hit a couple of great drives that reached over 290 yards albeit being wind-assisted (30 mph gusts). However, the tee boxes were beat-up on more than a few holes but at least all were maintained to be flat. As a Pete Dye course, I thoroughly enjoyed his modern design with the tilting fairways as the most enjoyable. There were also more than a few holes with generous fairways but also more than a few challenging holes (#14 included) with narrow ones bordered by insane aggressive sloping hills usually on the left side. I didn't use the driving range but it was a significant walk away from the clubhouse. There were no shower facilities on site so that was a minus for out-of-towners like myself. Overall, I'd give this course an 8 out of 10, only because it's a Pete Dye course but if it wasn't, I'd only give it a 6 out of 10. In terms of value, $65 is worth every penny and is a steal compared to $225 to play the exclusive and private TPC River Highlands if you're able to get in or $170 at Pound Ridge in NY. The team managing the course including the guy from the pro shop and the starter were friendly. In fact, I'd like to give a shout out to the Pro shop guy as I got an unexpected freebie from him. He was kind enough to give me a free ball marker after I purchased their excellent $6.00 yardage book. It is also worth mentioning that out of all the 3 Pete Dye courses I've played including Bulle Rock and Pound Ridge, this course is probably the most benign as it lacked the signature moguls that usually dot his courses.

Beautiful course. Great fairways and pure fast greens. Little on the expensive side. Its was very nice though.

Played yesterday and the place is absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful scenic view. Club house staff was amazing and very accommodating. Did NOT have any walking carts, price was very steep, and there was NO water on the course available for players. Know it is early in the season, but it was an 80+ degree day that was forecasted many days in advance. I do not suggest walking (which I did) as holes at some points are far apart. Rough is tough for amateurs and some of the slopes play very tough when the ball is below your feet. Fairways are not cut to true length, especially on the Back. Biggest issue we had were the greens. Extremely tough to read and often unfair. If your speed is incorrect, good luck fella. Seemed like a greenskeeper got pissed the night before. Place is beautiful. Staff is tremendous. Food is great. Getting back to my home course as soon as possible.
