Cold day-

Have played here few times and by far the fastest round ever. Cold and windy made for tearing through for a change. Like the layout. Well designed with some nice challenges.

Great to get play in January

The course was in pretty good shape for being January in CT. There were patches of snow and balls bounced over greens but they let us use carts on this hilly course. We really appreciated being able to get out when almost every other course in the area was closed.

My late fall and winter choice

Fun track to go out and have some fun.
Greens were naturally slow due to the season. But the ball rolls very well. Great pizza and bar after the round.

Player friendly layout. We’ll maintained. Limited number of bunkers encouraged a good pace of play. Greens pitted true.

Play

The course was good but the play was really slow a 4th some two groups in front of us was so slow they had 4 empty holes in front of them no rangers to be seen so a 4 hour round took 5.5 hours

Red or Black, it is like playing in a cow pasture.

Both courses have lousy layouts and suffer from negkect. Bridgeport has no money, and golf courses are low on the priority list.

Better than I remember

Course was in decent shape. More challenging than I remember. Got done in 4 hours and 25 minutes. Would have been done earlier but had slow group in front. Ranger needed to move them along. Good value for the $. Starter is a surly guy.

Same Old Wheel

Same old wheel really. Played the Red Course and with all the rain the usual spots were wet and squishy but the greens were in great shape. Got paired up with a pair of beginners so they were slow but it kept us in pace with everyone til the back where we got hung up on a few holes.
