Some of my league buddies have played it and LOVE it.
Finally got out to Keney Park yesterday. TOO good. Super fun layout and those green complexes are a blast.
Want to put (another) plug her for Richter Park. Played there this past weekend and thought it was a great course. Challenging but fair and in fantastic shape. Definitely recommended for those in the greater Danbury area.
Playing Richter tomorrow
Heard some of the holes on the back had a rough spring. Glad to see itās back to its old self
Great course
did you catch a glimpse of Morefar GC?
I did. I actually had the āopportunityā to play there. Was for a charity tournament ā $1500/person. No thanks.
Wow. Was it a scramble? If you were allowed to play your own ball it might almost be worth itā¦
Iām not sure. The invite just specified āgolf outingā but didnāt address the format. I just looked at the invite again and it was actually $1000/person. But still ā that type of scratch would get you a flight and a round at Pebble. Hell, you could fly to Scotland and play St. Andrews.
I know people who have played the course and Iāve heard itās beautiful and very well taken care of, but most of itās allure is just from exclusivity.
I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about golf and I had never even begun to hear about this Morefar Back OāBeyond joint until five seconds ago when I read this thread. Sounds like a name out of a Tolkein story. For anyone else who is on here like, wtf mate:

Iāve lived in CT my whole life and never heard of this place.
Itās super strange. I got in a google/wikipedia blackhole the first night I heard about it just trying to figure out everything I possibly could about. There is a few pictures on instagram of it from random people too. Truly bizarre.
Good point. Two summers ago I got paired with a random dude who said he played it and it wasnāt even that special. Great shapeā¦ and then thereās the weird statues all over the course which is fun but thatās really all he had to say.
I also didnāt believe that he actually played it.
$21 for 9 at Shennecosset today. Super enjoyable, fun Donald Ross layout. Surprisingly good shape. Very woke.
Both par 5ās on the front had trouble EXACTLY where you want to hit it. The place screamed width and angles. Very firm (but not very fast).
Need to get to the back 9 as Iāve heard itās better and has 3 holes on the water.
Great surprise after going to play Fenwick but getting boxed out by the Thursday night league.

Yeah i want to check this out. Maybe next summer. 90+ minute drive wasnāt working for me this summer. Did get to play Jeffersonville when I was visiting family in PA so I did get my Ross fix at least once this summer.
Playing Wampanoag on Monday for the Hartford Habitat charity scramble.
Damnā¦jealous. Enjoy.
My league is at Lyman Orchards and we were on the Player back 9 last night. Iām starting to think Gary Player is an a$$hole ā or he just really loves blind shots. Both the back and front are chock full of ridiculous blind approaches. Why, Gary, why?!

Should also note it was a very āStrappedā vibe. Played with 3 strangers.
One from Maine in the area on a contract job.
One from Fort Lauderdale on his way to Vermont with family and work reasons to stop by the area.
One local who has been playing the course 4 days a week for 20 years.
Great camaraderie. All finished within 4-5 shots of each other.

Iāve been to Fenwick twice this summer and the greens are in great shape
