I try to play golf every Monday. Normally I play one of the Hartford courses but this week I had…read morean appointment in New Haven, so I searched for a new experience on the drive home. I stumbled across Hunter. The course is in excellent shape. The fairways were maybe a little soft from the rain but thick and lush. Some of the greens were faster than others, but that's golf. Unfortunately, I played about as poorly as I have in the year since I took the game back up, but I can hardly blame that on Hunter. The price for a walking senior was very reasonable and I would like to play again when I am hitting the ball better

The course is usually in pretty good shape. There is only turf mats and your not supposed to hit a driver off the driving range because it's very short. The biggest issue is the hills on the course. It makes it very hard to know when the person on front of you is done. Be on alert lol. Overall, it's worth a look.

No, sadly, we weren't flown in! However, the parking was superb. We arrived around 8:30 am, proceeded the pro-practice area saw a few favorites of my buddy, as I was still making my list on the fly. I do have to say I wound up favoring my usual underdog, a Scottish chap Martin Laird of Glasgow, Scotland. Starting the day 2 under while the leader Paul Casey was 16 under. Being about 9:00 am the stomachs were grumbling and the food booths were open. Two egg, sausage, and cheese on a croissant and (yes) two Bud Lights a mere $30.00 even. "Say what?" Called out my dwindling wad of cabbage! I was indebted to my friend and this equated nicely. We wandered the remainder of the day seeing a number of the players. Up and down the picturesque rolling hills, halting and whispering when necessary. The course is beautifully designed and maintained. Our morning was cool and cloudy, the afternoon brought sunshine and light humidity. The Travelers, other Sponsors, Organizers, and Volunteers go all out to assure everyone, players and attendees, are well cared for. Such as, numerous Public Facilities, Public Tents with shade, food and beverages, also pricey, unless you have friend/contact with one of the many Corporate Sponsors. All in all, it was a great day. I don't think the golf bug has bitten other than maybe another tournament.

Tee time was confirmed and Saturday comes around drove all the way to the course to which I check in at the pro shop. Good to go right? Nope. Pull up to the 10th hole tee box and tee off walking back to the cart the ranger pulls up and starts yelling at us like we are in the wrong. I get it Mr ranger you have the most difficult and highest standard job in the world your more important than even a police officer apparently the way you have to confront someone as if they are breaking a law? Don't know if it's ego or if your just a jerk in general but no need to start yelling at a group that did there due diligence booked a tee time, signed in, told we were good to go, and watched us head up to the back 9. The ranger starts yelling at us that we need to get off the back 9 we are booked for the Jones course for 6:57 all of which was incorrect. We try having a rational conversation to which you need to assert dominance and act like your some kind of a tough guy and want to swing your weight around but you tell us to get off the back 9 we are wrong and we're supposed to be teeing off on a completely different course at a completely different tee time. So we say alright no problem we're going to grab our tee shots and we'll be down. To which you yell at us "I better see you two down on tee box one!" Rude and a bit of a overreaction but whatever. We decide we want to just get a refund to which you start hobbling across the sidewalk from your little hut yelling that we need to get on tee box one. I tell you we're getting a refund. A rational and respectful employee then apologizes to which we appreciated I mentioned the ranger didn't have to be aggressive to which the ranger snaps back at me that he wasn't aggressive and starts talking s**** to other golfers near the ranger hut? Super unprofessional, rude and not worth the time or effort for some guy that's living in his own world maybe take the ego down a couple notches if you wanted to be a cop you should have done that instead of acting like one on a golf course. . If you want to play golf go play at Indian Springs, Portland golf course or even miner hills is better than Lyman's. Lyman's doesn't take care of there rough it's near impossible to find a ball more than 2 feet from you. It's over priced. Unorganized and after today's bad experience which wasn't the first with there staff all I can say is I highly recommend any other course until they actually think about the people paying all this money to play instead of lining there pockets and sitting back. Have some respect for the people giving you a job Mr ranger. I know you think you're the most important person out there but you're not you're just some old dude driving a golf cart with a red flag on it. Lyman's you should really rethink how you run your course because it's the talk among golfers that it's overpriced and overvalued for what people are getting could be a lot better and maybe some staff training on how to talk to people like a reasonably respectable person when your staff is the reason today went so wrong.

The amount of good this place and the owner Jodi does here for the local community - especially the…read moredie hard dedicated golf purists and enthusiasts - simply can't be overstated. When all the other driving ranges or clubs in the area are either private or closed or too expensive, this facility is a true local legend! Always open, even in the rain or snow, year round, with heated overhead bays if you need - and real grass practice area, or even dedicated short game options as well, for serious practitioners during the season. None of the fancy clubs in the area can compare despite their pedigrees. Add to that an actually quality restaurant, pickle ball soon for the more recreational experience, and not even to mention the most friendly and supportive team of maintenance and operating personnel including the owner Jodi who is the very model of small business excellence, and no matter your appetite for activity, you can't go wrong here. I rarely leave reviews, or reviews this long, but I could go on for paragraphs about how truly invaluable a hub of passion and performance this place has been for me and innumerable other local very high level (but budgeted) golfers (all of whom, if you happen to be learning or improving, most likely are so friendly or kind that they'll probably give you free lessons while you're practicing if you ask). It's only a matter of time before the first famous PGA or Korn Ferry or just YouTube professional golfers arise from this place, one of the best kept (though maybe not anymore ha) golf secrets of all Central Connecticut, maybe the whole state. PS. I saw some other folks mentioned a few topics to which I noticed the early lights out seem to have been fixed, and now are on motion detectors, so even if you're the only one there, they go on for the section of driving range you're using, and there seem to be totally new balls put into rotation last year - pretty awesome!

Beware of the bait and switch. They advertised their fall rate of $45 for 18 holes with a cart…read more We made tee times for 8 senior golfers, and when we arrived from as far away as 50 minutes, we were charged $50. They should have taken the $45 and told us that the future price would be higher. No apologies were offered. In fact, the Manager (a lady) was rude and arrogant. She claimed they were the cheapest (false) and best conditioned (false) course in the area. I informed her that we play all over the state and she is neither cheap nor top conditioned course. In fact we used to play there 5-10 times a year before they raised the prices nearly 100% over the last 5 years, and only went there today because the advertised price was more reasonable. The course was nearly empty but it was windy. There was no drinking water or ball washers. Leaves were every where. The carts are sub standard. They use yellow flags on the greens and there is no way to know if the pin is in the front back or middle. I play 100 rounds a year and we used to enjoy this course, and considered it a value and centrally located. I understand their costs have gone up but no more than other courses, Our players come from Milford, Oxford, Burlington, The shore line and eastern CT. We are retired on fixed incomes and look for value so we thought we would take a chance with their new advertised fall rate. The regular summer prices here are exorbitant for a course that is no better than average no matter what the manager thinks.
