    Fun course, limited by a tight property. Always 10/10 conditions, tough greens. Kicks you in the teeth 1-3 with a smooth walk home.

    Really fun layout that you could play every day and never get bored. Raised greens give it really beautiful scale and create challenge when you end up in the wrong spot.

    Fully deserving of the #1 course in CT ranking. A great experience all around. A championship test with some of the toughest greens I’ve ever seen. Layout has a good mix of long and short holes and a few monster Par 5’s.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Connecticut. Rankings refresh about hourly.
