Links style with plenty of traps, fairway and greenside. No wind when we played but must be bearish when it's blowing. Very good condition. Some of the best greens in the state. Good value. Fun day.

Played this course 4 times and haven't been able do well. Try to play it at least once annually and haven't given up on it. The course is unlike any other I have played in Connecticut.
