Stopped by late afternoon for drinks, appetizers and the view of the golf course, the weather and lawn was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. The waitress provide IMPECCABLE service and the appetizers were amazing. Lobster Ravioli - HANDS DOWN, the best I've had so far Pesto Portabella - Safe choice Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and take a break on a hectic day. read more

Let me start, NOT BEGINNINER FRIENDLY. Course is narrow, fairways are small. Not a good experience as amateur. Pace of play is slow, especially if there's other amateurs, you'll be backed up like 3-4 groups by hole 6. read more

I cannot speak for the restaurant associated with the course, but the course itself is in need of some work. The grass on the tee boxes is sparse and if you find yourself anywhere but the fairway you are in trouble as there is no grass...only hard packed soil with rocks scattered throughout. The course has a lot of potential, but is let down by the condition, even for early season. read more

The course itself is quite challenging, with lots of narrow shots. The greens were kept pretty good the couple times I've been. But moreover, the restaurant was delicious. It's a nice ending to 18 holes of golf when you're exhausted and want a beer with good food. read more

See all

Had dinner here yesterday and everything was great! The staff was very friendly and seemed happy to serve our party of 8. The service was prompt and the server got everything correct with our order. I had a salmon dinner with asparagus and it was delicious. We sat outside and the view was very cool. We had a great experience! Definitely recommend read more

Quarry Ridge Golf Course - Salmon - Golf Near Me - Portland, Connecticut

The pro shop smells like asscheeks covered in cheddar. I was absolutely dissatisfied with the temperature in there as well as the athletics of the building. Never coming back. read more

John was amazing and so accommodating! The course was beautiful and so much fun! I had a great time. I'm really looking forward to going back! read more

Only cares about their bottom line they will send two groups of four just when you get to the tenth hole so you can spend more time bird watching then playing golf. Played here for years but the service and player consideration has taken a drastic nose dive read more

I had a tournament in memory of my brother, Tommy, at Quarry Ridge this past Saturday and I can't say enough nice things about the time, effort, and all around amazingness of the staff there. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful through the whole process and the day went off without a hitch. The course is in excellent condition and the food was fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend this course for playing a round or hosting a tournament. You will not regret it! read more

My favorite local course in the area. I've never had a bad experience here, and I've played dozens of rounds. It's a bit of a strange layout, built literally on a small mountain / quarry, but you'll grow to love it. Lots of interesting holes, and it plays relatively short so you can shoot some nice scores! Great clubhouse as well. Oh yeah, and they actually ENCOURAGE you to bring coolers on the course! What's better than that?! read more

Good course, friendly staff. Some boxes were beat up though.

In town on business and was scheduled to play 9 holes with a client after work; however I was able to sneak over earlier and figured I would hit some balls and grab some lunch but seeing as they do not have a range (only a small area where you can hit into a net) I elected to play a 9 hole warm-up. The course isn't too long (only 6,100 from the tips) but is a course you need to play a few times to learn its nuances (blind shots, hilly terrain and some narrow fairways). The course is in great shape, especially the greens, a little slower than I like but seeing as it poured overnight they rolled true. The front 9 is the easiest side with #7, 8 & 9 being nice little holes with plenty of elevation changes. The back 9 is much more scenic and challenging as this is where the original rock quarry existed. We had dinner and drinks afterwards and the food was great. A nice little hidden gem not far from Hartford. read more

I dont know what the other reviewer is talking about. Played here for the first time and the only good thing was the greens. The tee boxes were out of shape and the course is super short in length. A par 5 is about 463 yards from the blues. What makes this course more annoying is how its not walker friendly. You have to get a cart and can not walk the course at all. Also the layout of the golf course is one of the weirdest I've seen. Some holes you have to drive backwards from the green to the tee box to play the hole. A lot of teeshots go downhill and than go uphill again. The only good thing was - no one was there in the morning and I finished 18 in about 3 hours. read more

It is a short course with some nice view from a few holes. The course is not in very good shape. The tee boxes are chewed up and some of the greens are in need of repair. Nothing like the photos on the website. It is reasonable priced and the staff is certainly friendly. I would play again if there was nothing else available. read more

hands down the nicest course in ct!! reasonably priced and the greens are incredible-- i play here 6 - 10 times a year and i live an hour away, its worth the trip everytime, they always move the pin every month!!!!! read more

Great place to play. Very nice greens. The course is beautiful and challenging. Very good pace of play. The members seem to be very accommodating to visitors who want to blast out a round and move on. The tee boxes could use a little work, but realize that the area has not had much rain. Pro Shop was very nice. Very good seniors rate, too. read more

The course is beautiful but the pro is arrogant. Have had issues twice with him. The latest with a gift certificate and how it was a mistake by one of his employees and how much trouble they were going to be in. Truly tried to make you feel bad about it. Will not go ever again. I have never had any issue with any other course I've played but in the two times I've played there this guy was just unbelievable. read more

If you like your course surrounded by forest instead of condos then you're going to like Quarry Ridge. Fine layout, lots of elevation changes, fairly tight, lots of doglegs. Up, down, and sidehill lies, no two holes the same. It's one of those wildlife refuge types of courses, high in the hills of Portland, great vistas abound. If you hook or slice off the tee you're going to lose a lot of balls. Target golf, for sure. I teed off with irons, nice to have mid-irons into greens rather that short wedges. I used pretty much every club in my bag. Quarry Ridge reminds me of Green Mountain National in Vermont and it's just as nice. Played it two days after hurricane Irene blew through and the course was in pretty good shape, considering. Definitely going to play this course more often, it's a beauty. read more

Unfortunate Situation I recently traveled nearly half an hour to play golf with 7 other retired individuals at Quarry Ridge. We had tee times scheduled. Come to find out, the golf carts were only allowed on the cart paths due to the so-called wet conditions. So, I tried to accommodate their wished and played the front nine holes, only to find that is was extremely difficult for me since I am handicapped. My partner asked in the club house after nine holes and explained the situation, but was told that the carts had to remain on the paths as a "safety issue". Since we car pooled, there was no way for me to return home with disrupting the other players. If Quarry Ridge wishes to restrict players then they need to inform them. A simple phone call as to the carts not being allowed on the fairways. They have the phone numbers of those with tee times. What could have been a great day turned out to be an exhausting and tiring time. If you do not have a tee time and are handicapped, then you should call ahead to find out the conditions for the day. Never was there any showing of concern or compassion for my situation. Just the same two words over and over again......"safety Issue". Oh yes, there were numerous cutting machines on the course that day and cutting on side hills, etc. I guess the golf club isn't concerned about the workers safety. I was extremely disappointed and will not be playing at Quarry Ridge again. I should have realized that it was going to be a problem day when we drove up and found that they were using the handicap parking area to set up the tournament golf carts. read more
