An old-school Willie Park design playing along the Long Island Sound, Madison is short, compact, and quirky but features plenty of charm and is an excellent golf-only members’ course. I would classify this course as an underrated hidden gem and one of the best options in Eastern Connecticut. … More Review: Madison Country Club
A rugged and isolated Tom Fazio design in Western Connecticut, this mountainous course is perhaps the most visually attractive course in the state and features strong conditioning and a number of very good holes. Its isolation and exclusivity make it somewhat underrated and I highly recommend you play here if you get an opportunity. … More Review: Bull’s Bridge Golf Club
While it has a few fun moments, Mohegan Sun is overall rather boring and feels quite disjointed with all the recent renovations. It is still one of the better public courses in the area but is overpriced and not nearly as good as rival Lake of Isles. … More Review: Mohegan Sun Golf Club
The very definition of a hidden gem, the criminally underrated Country Club of Waterbury is a fantastic Donald Ross par 69 featuring numerous strong, memorable holes over an engaging, rocky terrain. I highly recommend a round here if given the opportunity. … More Review: The Country Club of Waterbury
A tough teetime for non-residents, Danbury’s Richter Park is one of the country’s better municipal courses and likely the best public course in Western Connecticut. The course is far from perfect but is worth a play due to its hilly terrain and strong variety over a tree-lined, hazard-filled property. … More Review: Richter Park Golf Course
The upscale Great River Golf Club offers strong amenities and conditions and is one of Connecticut’s better public options. It is worth a play, but is somewhat limited by a narrow property and routing that features almost all holes running North or South. … More Review: Great River Golf Club
Better than its private sister, Lake of Isles North is a difficult and beautiful test of golf featuring several memorable holes. It is the best public option in Connecticut and one of my highest recommendations in New England. … More Review: Lake of Isles (North Course)
With good variety and interesting greens in a pretty setting, Short Beach is one of the better executive courses I’ve played and is a good place for practice or novices learning the game. … More Review: Short Beach Golf Course
Potentially a good course for novices to learn the game, the short and well-conditioned Orchards is a course experienced golfers will want to avoid with its cramped and disastrous layout. … More Review: The Orchards Golf Course
Although located in a beautiful setting at the base of Sleeping Giant National Park, Sleeping Giant Golf Course leaves a lot to be desired in terms of challenge, layout, and conditions. This is a good 9-hole public course for beginners but not one I’d go out of my way for. … More Review: Sleeping Giant Golf Course
