Rating 73.6

Situated at the heart of Fairfield County, Richter Park Golf Course is situated along the West Lake Reservoir. The course has been ranked among not only the top ten golf courses in Connecticut but also as one of the top 25 public courses in the country. The course sprawls across more than 180 acres of gently rolling hills. Water has a prominent presence throughout, with the Reservoir bordering seven holes on the front nine and water hazards coming into play on a total of 14 holes. In addition to the water, there are a variety of elevation changes ranging from subtle to dramatic, which can make it a tough golf course to play your first time. Be prepared for a few blind shots. Richter Park's signature hole, the par-5 12th, is bordered by Boggs Pond. Your third shot will be over water to a bunkered green.

Well done Sam...

I drove an hour to play this course and it was well worth getting up at 4 a.m. to do it. The course was in very good condition. I enjoyed the layout. It cut into Mother Nature that you should look at and enjoy after chunking a shot, it'll make your round nicer. I had some trouble with breaks or non breaks but greens are mint condition. All in all I totally enjoyed my round. FYI - I would rate the golf cart a 10 out of 10 and the best public carts I have used. Enjoy, have fun, we arent; good enough to get angry at our shots.
