“solid fun to play"

“New Haven Country Club represents the creativity of Willie Park Jr as well as any of his layouts in America. The course boasts 17 original Park greens sporting severe ridges and distinct plateaus and valleys. Recent restoration efforts piloted by Brian Schneider have expanded playing surfaces and brought fairway and greenside bunkers into play. Firm conditions and smooth bent greens enhance the subtle contours of the property. Dramatic par 3s including the drop shot 9th and the surrounded 17th provide heroic opportunities while new back tees add difficulty to this classic layout."

“A very fun course set on a beautiful piece of rolling property. The green complexes, some of which are vast, are filled with fascinating contours, showcasing Willie Park's brilliance. Brian Schneider's bunker and tree removal work has allowed this already excellent course to shine even brighter. The main weakness of the course is the repetitive nature of the front nine, which is filled with short to mid-length par fours that, while respectable in isolation, blend together. The course really shines on the back nine, which is set on the more dramatic part of the property and features some of the most handsome holes in CT."

“Fun course to play every day because it gives scoring opportunities with well executed shots on many holes. I didn't expect the dramatic terrain up and down steep hills."

“Nice old club with beautiful clubhouse. Very fast and undulating greens. Some funky holes don't make sense to me."

“Pretty, playable country club course, usually in very good shape, with greens that will flummox you. Start to the back nine is about as good as it gets."
