CT Golf Reviews was created with one simple mission: to play and review every golf course in Connecticut.
What began as a personal checklist has evolved into a trusted resource for New England golfers who care about course design, walkability, and the overall feel of a round. Whether you’re looking for a quick nine, a character-rich muni, or a hidden gem with architectural intrigue, this site is here to help you choose your next round with purpose.
Every review is based on firsthand play and reflects the things that matter most to everyday golfers—how a course is routed, how it challenges or welcomes different styles of play, and how memorable it feels once the round is over. I’m especially drawn to courses that reward strategy and decision-making just as much as pure ball-striking.
But CT Golf Reviews is more than a catalog of course writeups. The site also features:
- Product and gear reviews for golfers who enjoy thinking critically about their equipment
- Budget-friendly golf trip ideas, with a focus on weekend getaways within driving distance of Connecticut
- Occasional deep dives into Top 100 courses and notable destination layouts
- Commentary on golf course architecture, classic design books, and the evolving landscape of the game
While every course is rated using a consistent and transparent system, the real goal isn’t to assign numbers—it’s to offer insight, spark curiosity, and help golfers appreciate the richness and variety of New England golf.
At its core, this is a local project. If you play golf in Connecticut—or if you’re just passing through—I hope this site helps you find a few places worth returning to, round after round.
