Fox Hopyard Golf Club, East Haddam, CT

What an amazing course! Despite drought-like conditions, course was in flawless condition. I played every club in the bag with a mix of let 'er rip & smart golf. Elevation changes were plentiful, rolling hills and tall fescue provided some amazing views. Greens were somewhat tough to hold. Course was fair and allowed for scoring, but you certainly had to hit your clubs the way you want - not a ton of room for miscalculation of depth. Pro shop was great, carts were first class, tee boxes played like a private club. A tremendous round! (although I didn't get to finish sadly, due to darkness). Was a little backed up and spoke with members - they gave great reviews of the food onsite.

Its very rare that you will find a public course of such quality in such an unassuming place. It is by far the nicest course, private or public, in the area. Well stocked pro shop, friendly staff, and good food., very nice new england scenery, obviously beautiful in the fall. the layout is very nice, each hole is very unique. it is all together a challenging course, a very enjoyable round each time, and great value at 50 per person with discounts for juniors.

You can have lunch or dinner included with the cost of your tee times at a very reasonable price.
