A very nice nine-hole course of par 3's and 4's…read more Miner Hills has a great location between New Haven and Hartford that's pretty easy to find. One of my associations had a twilight golf event here and Miner Hills was terrific to deal with, they easily worked with us on the catering and food service. Super reasonable cost for golf and carts, and we dealt with some very nice people at the pro shop organizing the evening. Yay, I'm a fan!!

A short 9-hole course that's not as easy as you might expect…read more Miner Hills is a family run course (and driving range) that has a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is laid back, as this is very much a course that's welcoming to the general public. It's a Par 30 with six par 3's and three par 4's. Every hole is under 300 yards. However, the par 4 7th is straight uphill and the par 3 before it plays close to 200 yards uphill from the white tees. The course is kept in fairly good condition and there was a crew leaf-blowing when I played there. It's hard to play with a yellow ball and hit into all those leaves! While there are not too many hazards here, most of the fairways and approaches are relatively narrow. There are some small greens too and the slopes can be tough to judge. The prices are fair, but when I saw a deal of $9 for 18 holes and a cart (seriously?!) on GolfNow, I could not pass it up. I believe the rate is usually $21 or so. The cart also had a lot of pep. Probably the fastest cart I've used on any course! I will be coming back here in the future!

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.

It's a great way to practice driving :) For someone who has ankle issues, it's easier for me to get around. The wildlife brings more joy as you see are able to see different types of birds and animals. I love mallard ducks and cardinals! Regarding the employees, they are super kind and professional.

Minnechaug was one of my favorite stomping grounds back in the day, as it was cheap and quick…read more Overall the course itself is fun, usually pretty decently maintained and very affordable. If you are a very serious golfer, it's probably not for you. If you're an average golfer just looking to get out and have some fun on a quick 9-hole course, give it a shot. If you're a bit below average and want less hassle and stress over pace of play.. a good option here. The course yardage itself is fairly short and, as noted above, only 9 holes, but it has some memorable moments and fun approaches. Holes eight and nine are both short Par 3's with significant water hazard potential. Probably the most fun ones. TiP- Bring a couple crappy balls you won't mind losing and maybe keep those ProV1s in the bag for hole 8. The clubhouse has had some improvements since I had last seen it, and now houses the second location for Giovanni's Pizza. The setup gives you a good spot on a deck to have a pint and a slice or two after your round (or before) while watching others tee off on the first hole. You can sit inside instead as well. Parking isn't always great, so car pool if possible.

The workers there were very patient and friendly and walked my group and I through swinging the club and varying techniques since it was our first time. It made the experience so much more fun, and we learned along the way. Very intimate setting with only two greens. You could rent out one for up to six players for $50 each hour, or both for a bigger party! They have many options - you could strictly do the driving range or choose from courses with varying difficulty levels. After each swing, it lets you know your stats. They also have clubs available if you do not have your own. With two televisions inside, you do not have to worry about missing any of the sports games either. I also loved that it was bring your own food and drink. There are so many great restaurants within walking distance that offer take out - we ordered some apps from 75 Center (I recommend).

This was one of the smaller indoor golf facilities I've been to, but it felt cozier and less intimidating because of it. My fiancé and I are beginners, and his mom plays more often, but we all had fun! There were plenty of different courses to pick from that are fitting for a range of skill levels. I really appreciated that they provided takeout menus from nearby restaurants and provided a nice area where you can spread out some food, sit, and relax. We were able to rent their golf clubs for free, and the hour and a half rental time was perfect for the 3 of us. This was a great winter activity, and we'll be keeping it in mind for the summer too if we want to stay out of the heat!

I have played Buena Vista three times. I love this course because I am a bad golfer. This course is…read moreshort (only nine holes) and there are not too many obstacles or difficult shots. It's perfect for beginners. There are often a lot of kids learning on the course as well. Generally, play is pretty quick unless the course is busy (like I said - lot of slow beginners). The fastest I've ever played was 90 minutes when there was no one else playing and the slowest was about 2 hours, 15 minutes when we were behind two slow teams. You can rent a club cart (three wheeled pull cart for your club bag) for only $3. I don't think they have golf carts, but you don't really need one since the course is so small. It's not the best or most beautiful course, but it is perfect for beginners.

Three greens have tough tilts (those who say it's "easy" probably do 4 foot "gimmes"). Trees are on one or both sides of all four driving holes.
