Fenwick Golf Course is a beautiful 9-hole muni on the Connecticut coastline and yet another fine example of a historical 9-hole hidden gem in Southern New England. I recommend all interested in architecture or history check out Fenwick if you’re in the area. … More Review: Fenwick Golf Course
Just as many Hotchkiss grads go on to do bigger and better things at Yale, so too did Raynor and Banks. Architecture enthusiasts, however, should not overlook this mini-Yale with numerous template holes, a strong Raynor influence, and an important role in golf architecture history. I highly recommend Hotchkiss School Golf Course to anyone in the area. … More Review: Hotchkiss School Golf Course
Located just off the Connecticut coastline, Fox Hopyard is another upscale Roger Rulewich design featuring dramatic elevation changes, good conditioning, and strong variety. Although not an elite course, Fox Hopyard is worth a play and was one of the best public courses in state before it became fully private. … More Review: Fox Hopyard Golf Club
While conditioning and the closing stretch are a bit underwhelming, Yale is easily amongst the most architecturally magnificent courses in America, featuring numerous world-class template holes on a difficult terrain. I suggest all serious golf aficionados play this brilliantly quirky gem if given the opportunity. … More Review: Yale Golf Course
It’s always a blast playing a PGA Tour course, and TPC River Highlands is no exception. While the front side is a bit bland, the back more than makes up for it with one of the most exciting stretches of holes on Tour. If given the chance, I highly recommend you play this course and try to recreate some of golf’s most memorable moments. … More Review: TPC River Highlands
Wintonbury Hills is a solid public course with great conditions and a strong reputation. However, I can’t help but feel like this course is overrated, and I’d rather save some money and play several other nearby courses. … More Review: Wintonbury Hills Golf Course
Although the conditioning still needs some work, the recently renovated Keney Park stands out in a rather robust Hartford golf scene. At a great price, you’ll be able to appreciate some of the finest examples of classic golf architecture. In more ways than one, this course reminded me very much of a lite version of Bethpage. Hartford should be proud of their work here. … More Review: Keney Park Golf Course
The value and history at this classic seaside Donald Ross are hard to beat and I can’t think of many Connecticut public courses I’d rather play than Shennecossett. I highly recommend this course to anyone in Southern Rhode Island or Eastern Connecticut.

Although conditioning and aesthetics are very strong, Lake of Isles South’s design fails to deliver and is a perfect example of the overly penal golf architecture that plagued the early 2000’s. Certainly play this course if you get the opportunity, but don’t be surprised if your score suffers with all these forced carries and hazards. … More Review: Lake of Isles (South Course)
Connecticut National is one of the better public options in all of New England and easily the best course in Northeastern Connecticut. Fun, affordable, and always in good shape, I recommend this off-the-beaten track course for golfers of all skill levels. … More Review: Connecticut National Golf Club
