I’m planning a golf trip to Connecticut and I’m on the hunt for some great courses to play. I’ve heard there are quite a few gems out there, but I would love to get some recommendations from those who know the area well.
A Few Questions:
What are the top public courses? I’d like to find some that are accessible and well-maintained.
Are there any hidden gems? Sometimes the lesser-known courses offer amazing experiences.
Course difficulty: I’m an intermediate golfer, so courses that offer a good challenge but aren’t overly punishing would be ideal.
If anyone has personal experiences or links to articles with recommended courses, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your help!
One of the highest-rated golf courses in Connecticut is TPC River Highlands. The course is well-maintained, and the layout is enjoyable for all skill levels. I’ve played there a few times and have always had a great experience!
In my opinion, the Golf Club at Oxford Greens is underrated. The course conditions are always top-notch, and the staff is friendly. I’ve had some wonderful rounds there, especially during the fall.
I played at Fox Hopyard last month, and it was amazing! The course was in pristine condition, and the scenery was breathtaking. Definitely one of my favorites in Connecticut.
I found Glastonbury Hills Country Club to be very charming. It has a nice balance of challenging holes and beautiful views. The clubhouse is cozy too, perfect for unwinding after a round.
If you want a unique experience, check out Yale Golf Course. Historic and challenging! It’s stunning, though some holes are quite tricky. Make sure to bring your A-game!
Cedar Knob is pretty solid as well. The facilities are good, and the course is challenging without being overly punishing. It’s great for a day out with friends.
I just laughed when I tried to play last week at Fairview Farms. Let’s just say, I need to practice my driving! Course was fine, though—pretty forgiving.
I’ve had great experiences at the New Haven Country Club. They have some reduced rates for non-members on selected days. Definitely worth checking out!
