A challenging course that does a great job taking advantage of the natural terrain. The course was is great shape, unfortunately when I played the new clubhouse was still under construction but it looks like it will be nice.

Absolutely can’t recommend this course enough if you’re looking for a great fall golf experience in New England. I’ve played here last few years in October and it’s been a great experience, skip the summer rates and get out here when the foliage is prime!

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.

I didn’t see the place before the reno but these green complexes are pretty mind-blowing. The par-3 templates are possibly the best i’ve played. And great routing—it’s not right in front of you but uses the land in interesting ways on almost every hole.

Keney is a hidden national treasure. Designed during the Golden Age of American golf architecture, the routing takes advantage of a compact tract of land that undulates and meanders through hill and dale, and yet, very walkable.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery 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.
