Summary:
Actually a nice older track -- it has character, small greens, and is on the short side. Plenty of hills, and an average amount of trouble, however the trouble is all easily avoided, it tends to punish you for going for the spectacular esp. on the 5s which are all reachable if you hit it 280 or more. Course was built in the 20s and recently redone (tees and greens are all quite nice). For the price I'd recommend this course. If you can hit it reasonbally far and can get used to the bumpy greens (bang the ball here) you can easily beat your handicap, but it's not a boring muni that allows you to spray it all over the place. i'm givng it a '4' but 'love this place' is not what I'd say, but since a '3' is average I will give it a '4'. What i'd really giving it is a 3.8 but that's not an option.

Customer Service:
frankly it sucks. If you're looking for good CS then why are you playing a muni. their starters and pro shop folks are gruff at best, and they act more like bowling alley employees than golfers.

Similar Courses Played:
Waterbury CC is the only course I've played around her that has the small greens, risk reward, short but nice and often challenging average hole length, and similar character. WCC is a Donald Ross design, and about the same age so this makes sense.

Summary:
The course is pretty good, especially after the renovations made. The front plays a little harder, especially for longer hitters with well placed fairway bunkers. Still not a hard course but more difficult than before. The staff is friendly for the most part and the snack bar is pretty relaxed. All and all its one of my top places to play in Southern Connecticut.

Summary:
I played the back 9 this past Sunday. With the exception of hole 12 (some kids tore it up with Quads so they sanded it), it played nicely. I racked up a 44 mostly due to the greens being a bit bumpy(but not that bad).

Customer Service:
Guy that takes the money is just like Buddy Hacket.

Summary:
Alling is a good old fashioned test...a throwback to golf in the old days/the way it should be played. A lot of great holes including 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17.
It is not an easy course. The heather in the summer only adds to the appeal
