My stay cation week of golf and diners in the four corners of Connecticut brought me to Putnam and Connecticut National. The course is in immaculate condition. It's like playing on a plush carpet. It had rained about 3 inches in the past few days, so there was some wet spots, but that is to be expected. Also, the rough is thick and leafy, so I lost a few balls I would likely have found any other time of the year. But, again, these are to be expected in mid-October. The course is laid out nicely and offers a challenge while not killing you in the process. The scenery was fantastic. You just can't beat autumn in New England! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Greenskeeping crew were very polite and respectful of the golfers. Price to walk mid-week was reasonable.

Great course that is always in fantastic shape. Some very picturesque holes and one of my favorite courses in CT. Only knock is that it can be a pretty slow round, on the weekends you’re looking at close to 6 hours. Give it a shot.

Best golf course around for the price. $93 on the weekend with a cart is amazing. The course is in top notch shape and the staff are the best around. Downside is they have no clubhouse yet due to a fire at the end of last season. They have a huge tent set up to accommodate the people that hang around after their round to grab a beer and a bite to eat. I've been playing there for over 10 years now and just absolutely love playing there every Sunday morning. The course is set up for the club championship right now and pin placements are difficult and it was like putting on pavement but once you get used to them it's all good.
