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.

Very difficult and hilly course. Conditions are good, just a bit of target golf while still playing long. A few cool holes, some nice views, but definitely a step below some of the other great courses in Fairfield County, CT.
