Never played there but from the street it doesn't look so great. Doc has me on the bench now but want to get over to Keney before the season ends. Have you played Keney lately?
Played there about 6 weeks ago. It was in great shape and the restaurant is good, too. I think the changes to the course, especially at 4 and 5, make the course easier. The somewhat gimmickry greens make up for some of the more open fairway play.
I grew up in Hartford but lived in Hamden for 18 years until 2 years ago. Moved just in time. My old house had some tornado damage and lost a lot of trees a couple of months ago. I had Rosenberg second cousins from Hamden who would have been in HS in the late 50s and early 60s. Lost contact decades ago. I have no Cohen cousins because all of my immigrant grandfather’s brothers spelled the name Cohn.
I see specials for Lyman all the time... always like the Jones course.
Used to play in league there, and that back 9 was brutal near sunset. Swampy and tons of mosquitoes.
That would be Lyman Orchards. 2 regulation 18-hole courses, and an executive 9.
Lovely is going to make it into some kind of family rec center: pool etc. At least that is the last I heard.
Oy vey
Believe he was the guy who brought Keney and Goodwin down to the bare bones. Stay away from Laurel View. I won't even pay the $20 I get on GOLF Now for that place.
Sorry , but Woodbridge has been closed due to the first selectwoman who said at a council meeting, "People who play golf are stupid".
Seriously? Closed by a politician’s statement?
Playing the Player at Lyman for $34 this Wednesday weather willing.
Just looked it up. I don’t know if any politician said that, but one way or another, it seems the Town never got an acceptable proposal for new management. Whether their requirements made any sense I don’t know.
A definite plus.
Once she took over from the previous selectman, the grill room was closed, the maintenance budget was cut in half and she tried to get the people of Woodbridge to let Toll Bros build cluster housing on the property. Twice it went to referendum and twice the people voted it down getting only 10% of the vote. A man wished to purchase the property and redo the course joining it with Yale, and a convention center. The town council three times asked for different corners of the property to be withheld from the sale and the buyer said he wished for the entire property and walked away. Gil Hanse, (Rio olympic course) showed up one day and walked the course in preparation of the makeover. The comment was made at one of the council meetings with the buyer when she thought the mike was closed.
We used to go there in late fall, early winter, with their specials during the week. Some weird holes, some tough ones. Nice to be able to play on halfway decent days when everyone is closed.
