18-HOLE COURSE

Description: A beautiful layout set amid rolling, wooded terrain. A stern test because the par 5’s are not eminently birdiable; and to play the par 3’s in even is a chore. Be prepared to play holes that are uphill, downhill, short, long, straight, or dogleg and don’t discount the wind. Large, deceptively undulating greens require a good read and a confident stroke.

Signature Hole: #14. A long uphill 430 yard (back tees) par 4. Looking back to the tee from the fairway you can view LI Sound, 6 miles away. This is one of the highest points in Fairfield County. Your tee shot is pretty straightforward, played out to an open fairway, the 2nd shot is to a large, undulating, well-bunkered green.
Comments: the best public facility in Fairfield Co...very scenic and beautifully kept...terrific layout with nice variety of holes...difficult greens.
