The Orchards Golf Course, Milford, CT

Fantastic beginner course. You'll be able to use a wide range of clubs and you'll find the fairways wide and the greens smooth. Can be challenging at times, though all and all it is a pretty simple course. Personally, this is one of my favorite courses in the area. I've always found the staff very friendly, and all in all there is a great vibe about the course. It can be quite busy at times, but even still the staff will not rush you through your game. I've played there many times last summer and will continue to play there for many seasons to come regardless of my skill level. I really just enjoy the atmosphere and can't say a bad thing about the people working there. This sets a great tone for the other golfers, and you'll find everyone friendly even at the busiest of times. A newer player will be able to use everything from their wedges to their driver, while a more experienced player will want to leave their woods alone for the round. The scorecard admittedly is forgiving, one or two of the par 4's could easily be par 3's on another course. The course is remarkably flat, and you won't find yourself shooting over water at any point. This will hurt my difficulty score considerably, I must admit that this course will not challenge a more experience player. However i would still recommend the course to anyone because the atmosphere is absolutely wonderful, though I will admit that I would forewarn a seasoned golfer about the ease of the course. The course is fairly well maintained for the price, which is quite low. Perfect course for beginners, and a lot of fun for all.
