Connecticut Golf Trip...pics

[BEND OF THE RIVER GC]

Shennecossett -Donald Ross, Wintonbury Hills-Pete Dye and Richter Park

My Long Island Bethpage Black/Red/Montauk Downs trip got scrapped due to only being able to get LATE tee times on Black that would not have allowed us to get 18 holes in. As a back up plan I played the following courses in Connecticut:

1. Shennecossett GC (1898) designed by Donald Ross
2. Wintonbury Hills GC Pete Dye designed
3. Richter Park GC (Connecticut's #1 Public Golf Course).

I also played Bergen Hills CC (northern New Jersey), another Donald Ross/Orrin Smith design.

All four of these tracks were AWESOME!

Here is a link to the Shennecossett pics:

Great pics!

 

I've played Shenney several times and love that course. The 4th hole is the hardest par 3 I've ever played. There isn't even a close second. I absolutely love the layout and the finishing holes, especially 16, are great.

Richter is a fantastic course, and it's a steal for Danbury residents. Otherwise it can be quite difficult to get on...

take a look into the yale course. it's rated the 44th haredst course in the world. Its usually in great shape and is very different from most other courses.
