The NGF also reported that 33 percent of core golfer rounds in 2020 were of the nine-hole rounds, while occasional golfers reported that 48 percent of the rounds they play are nine holes.

East Mountain Golf Course (www.GolfWaterbury.com) in Waterbury, Ct. was designed by architect Wayne Stiles and was opened for play in 1932. The golf course shows much the same character as many of the classic designs of the period during which it was built. Redesigned in 2007 by Stephen Kay to increase par from 67 to 70, the course is challenging for players of all skill levels, while remaining accessible for the walking player and beginner. The second hole used to be a long par-three prior to the recent renovations, but now plays as a true risk-reward par-four. The hole is around 270 yards fr ..read more

Tallwood Country Club in Hebron is known for its classic New England landscape. Situated on over 200 acres of rolling country farmland, it’s another perfect place for a quiet golf getaway. The course offers a pleasingly eclectic mix of strong par-threes, long and demanding and then shorter and tricky par-fours, as well as par-fives that sometimes are reachable in two for long hitters and other times, not so much. The 505 yard par-five eleventh hole is one of our favorites. A good tee shot to the generous fairway leaves you the decision of whether to go for the green which is guarded by water t ..read more
