No. It’s your opinion against mine. Not fact based. My view means just as much, internet tough guy.

A. Because I live in Windsor, so try again pal/genius
B. We know you are condescending in every reply you post pertaining to anything Hartford, so we’ll fight fire with fire.

#2 - clearly could use some drainage improvements to reduce the wetness down by the creek (same with 12). Screwed this up during rebuild but neither really changes the hole other than your driver now goes 150 instead of 175.
#3 - literally a straight somewhat short par 3, not sure the gimmick you speak of.
#6 - yes the green has a ton of undulation but isn’t that why it’s a PW or less? If it were 175-200 it would be a fair argument.
Par 4s - so because they’re demanding and if you hit a bad shot you’re in trouble, it makes them bad holes? Literally every green presents the opportunity for a recovery shot running into the green. From the blue tees none are unreasonably long, based on Your comments I can’t imagine you’re playing tees any further back.

in addition, Rockledge, Topstone and Quarry Hills are not even remotely in the same class as Keney, Fairview and Timberlin (not sure of recent conditions there). Rockledge has potential but needs some serious updating, TLC.

Rockledge, Topstone and Quarry Ridge are not "even remotely" in the same class as Keney, Fairview and Timberlin? Hialrious to throw Timberline and Keney in with Fairview because neither are remotely close to Fairview in condition, price or lay out. Timberlin isn't as good as Topstone ever, Quarry usually although they have struggled keeping their tees in good condition. Rockledge, Timberlin and Keney are all kind of in the same class, decent public courses although not special in too many ways. Topstone front 9 is a little too much back and forth, back 9 is solid but nonetheless always in very good shape and drier than all courses after rain hits the area. In all reality many of these are similar public courses with your own preference being the end result. To call them not even remotely close makes me wonder what you know about golf quite honestly.

If I told you I'd pay for a free foursome with Topstone, Keney, Fairview, Timberlin, Simsbury Farms and Rockledge, how would you rank them 1-6?

Note: Mau plays how many rounds a year? 150?

Not 150 Deep or close but over the years all of these multiple times. My ranking:

1) Fairview not close
2) Topstone
3) Simsbury Farms
4) Keney
5) Rockledge
6) Timberlin

Mind you, after Topstone it becomes close to a toss up on the last 4.
 
Rockledge is boring with the extra bonus of being slower than death
 
Deepster said:
Well. It’s a toss up until you factor in local watering holes and food options after golf.

Well stated and that 1-6 would change if that was the focus. But we won’t go there :cool:

You’re clearly a golfer since you chime in on all of these related topics and not just ones on Keney or Hartford. What do you look for when you define a course as good?

To each their own I suppose. But I’d venture to guess it’d be a toss up on who has played more golf courses, even though I gather you’re probably 20-30 years older than I am. One year alone we played 47 different courses in the surrounding area, CT, MA, RI. That’s not brag but to give some perspective.

curious on the criteria you use to define good? I don’t mean these questions in a bad way either. Are you familiar with what a template hole is? Aspects of a restoration and the effects of overgrown trees on traditional and older layouts? How courses change over time due to maintenance practices, I.e. changes to green sizes, shapes, etc.

This guy just joined the board or came back under a new name. He has to be playing a character, he can’t really be this much of an obnoxious rectum.

I’ve been enjoying Timberlin recently. It’s not the greatest course but it’s fun and in good condition overall. Also, Indian Springs in Middlefield is a fun little 9 hole course. Some courses are just fun and force a little creativity without being maddeningly penal on an errant shot.

Fairview is most expensive anyway. Probably by far.

Yeah but depends on what you want. It’s the best of them all easily in most ways too and when you look at the prices in comparison rather pay the $63. Topstone, Sim Farms and Rockledge all 55-69 while Timberlin 60 and Keney 62 arent close considering the very slight difference. Having said that you will find all of the other courses except Fairview to have good prices available in spring and fall but that at Fairview never lowers his week or weekend prices while open 63/67.

Most on here would qualify as a rectum. It is enjoyable seeing deepster get a taste of his own medicine :)

it’s ok to disagree, but actually provide an argument outside of its in a crappy area and I miss right every time and there’s too many trees on the right.
 
@tentoes4rings maybe you should see his first reply to others before mine, it’s the same bs schtick every time from this guy. Maybe a little over combative, fair enough, but as he alluded to himself, he goes through this routine anytime there’s a mention of Hartford and/or Keney

Is it okay to disagree? Anytime anyone does it with you, you tell them how dumb they are.

Pretty sure this all started when you said anyone who likes the course is a cheapskate...the thread was started positively and morphed from there.

tentoesin or whatever misread what I wrote, I never called Keney cheap. I merely said that anything below $50 is likely a dog track, which everyone has pretty much agreed to.

You said it's "okay to disagree". Twice in this thread, I've said "agree to disagree".....and both times you told me I'm wrong.

Make up your mind, doofus.

I spent a few years in the mens club there. I like the course (most of it), like the venue, even like the people, but don't like the cheapness. Not sure how the current mens club is, but the 2 iterations I went through were pretty sad. The original mens club was disbanded after about 3 years (paying full price before fairways even grown in), and brought back about 4 years later. If you played at 8am, you'd find all the prize money was already divvied up when you finished. No matter what you shot.
Simsbury has a $50 special, 18+cart, every day, M-F. The course has been improved every year that I've been playing there. I don't bother with Fairview anymore, even though its much closer.
