Review: Lake of Isles (North Course)

March 31, 2022

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)

Review: Lake of Isles (South Course)

July 26, 2016

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)

A look at the tough closing hole at Bulle Rock from a few different angles. At over 450 yards, this downhill par 4 features water down the left the entire way and a tiny green surrounded by water as well. A fitting finisher at a tough Pete Dye track.
Bulle Rock Golf Course - Havre de Grace, MD
The par 4 closer at Lake of Isles North is an excellent Cape hole with an exhilarating teeshot over water. This approach is again all aerial over another hazard.
The 17th hole at Lake of Isles North almost appears as a long par 3 at first glance, but be assured there is some fairway out there some 215 yards from the teebox. Not the most interesting hole architecturally, but stunningly gorgeous and quite unique.
Opening day is coming up in the Northeast tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited! Pictured here is a course that surprised me last year - Lake of Isles North Course in Connecticut. A 36 hole facility at Foxwoods Casino, the North Course is public and designed by Rees Jones. While I didn’t love the private South Course, I quite enjoyed the North Course with its strong conditioning, beautiful views, and numerous memorable holes like the par 3 2nd below. Like its sister, this is an extremely difficult track with lots of hazards and forced carries. While not everyone feels this way, this is the best public course in Connecticut in my book and a course I highly recommend in the area.
Some pictures from Bethpage Green last summer. This is the fourth course I’ve played at Bethpage with only the Yellow remaining before completing all five. The Green Course was actually the first course at the complex, opening in 1923 as a Devereux Emmet designed private club. Originally known as Lenox Hills CC, the Club failed during the Great Depression and was bought by the State. A.W. Tillinghast redesigned the course in 1934, making room for future courses.
