I have played this course over 2 dozen times in the past three seasons. Cold, wind, rain, heat NOTHING kept me away. This course made me a better golfer. Conditioning, difficult layout and an unbvelievable atmosphere made this course head and shoulders above any other I played (some of the highlights being TPC River Highlands, Pound Ridge, Wintonbury Hills, Fox Hopyard, and Okemo Valley)...But all has changed now.. They ruined the majestic #6 by tearing up the entire left side of the woods ajoining the hole to build housing. A similar expansion of housing is taking place on another hole but I cannot recall which... The earlier review stating that the maitenance crew has seemingly "given up" on raking water out of the bunkers is quite accurate. At 2pm on a Friday, the greens looked as if they had been run over by a field hockey team several hundred times...I've never seen anything like it outside of maybe "The Wheel" in Bpt, CT. The course was almost unplayable and I do not use that word lightly.. The round, by the way, took just a shade under 5 1/2 hours... It was embarrassing. I will NEVER play this course again

I'd like to amend my previous comment from several years ago. I allowed one bad round to spoil my opinion of my favourite course in Connecticut. I HAVE played this course a number of times since and though I have not always scored well, and #6 continues to be a sore spot for me, the course continues to be a well manicured, difficult, aesthetically pleasing golf course and for the money, maybe the best value in the state.

Would travel: 10-20 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again
