I try to play golf every Monday. Normally I play one of the Hartford courses but this week I had…read morean appointment in New Haven, so I searched for a new experience on the drive home. I stumbled across Hunter. The course is in excellent shape. The fairways were maybe a little soft from the rain but thick and lush. Some of the greens were faster than others, but that's golf. Unfortunately, I played about as poorly as I have in the year since I took the game back up, but I can hardly blame that on Hunter. The price for a walking senior was very reasonable and I would like to play again when I am hitting the ball better

One of my associations had a twilight golf event here and Miner Hills was terrific to deal with, they easily worked with us on the catering and food service. Super reasonable cost for golf and carts, and we dealt with some very nice people at the pro shop organizing the evening. Yay, I'm a fan!!

A short 9-hole course that's not as easy as you might expect…read more Miner Hills is a family run course (and driving range) that has a very friendly staff. The atmosphere is laid back, as this is very much a course that's welcoming to the general public. It's a Par 30 with six par 3's and three par 4's. Every hole is under 300 yards. However, the par 4 7th is straight uphill and the par 3 before it plays close to 200 yards uphill from the white tees. The course is kept in fairly good condition and there was a crew leaf-blowing when I played there. It's hard to play with a yellow ball and hit into all those leaves! While there are not too many hazards here, most of the fairways and approaches are relatively narrow. There are some small greens too and the slopes can be tough to judge. The prices are fair, but when I saw a deal of $9 for 18 holes and a cart (seriously?!) on GolfNow, I could not pass it up. I believe the rate is usually $21 or so. The cart also had a lot of pep. Probably the fastest cart I've used on any course! I will be coming back here in the future!

The staff we worked with were absolutely wonderful, especially Paul, Peyton, and Parker. Peyton worked tirelessly throughout the event to help orchestrate everything and make sure every detail came together perfectly. No matter what we needed, they never told us "no" - they were incredibly accommodating and genuinely cared about making our vision happen. The food was fantastic, everything ran smoothly, and the room looked beautiful. Overall, the event came out even better than we could have imagined, and we are so grateful to the entire team for helping make it such a special and successful day. We would absolutely recommend Hawks Landing for an event!

"And fearless are the idiots Among the hawks and doves…read moreWe're on the outside looking in A couple of freaks in love" (Elton John) (A non-golfer's perspective) I'm not a golfer but have attended industry related golf outings for two organizations ever since I moved to Connecticut close to 40 years ago. Today was the first time one of those events was held at Hawk's Landing Country Club in Southington, and our 71 golfers and 21 additional dinner guests really had a positive experience. So here is my non-golf perspective of the day. The shotgun start took off at 10:00 am on the dot, and course rangers led a caravan of golf carts out onto the course. Within a few minutes, the smell of food cooking on the grills was all over the tented area, and as soon as the foursomes began to roll by, we enjoyed an early lunch of hot dogs, burgers, fries, and two kinds of pasta salad. The guy staffing the grill was super friendly and professional. A beer cart staffed by two young ladies from Hawk's Landing circulated the course all day selling beers and seltzers and beverages to the golfers. Our tournament ended in the early afternoon, so that tented area became a dinner site for our large group. Tables and chairs were set up to accommodate us, and a very good buffet dinner of chicken parm cutlets, vegetables, sausage and peppers, roast potatoes, Caesar salad, rolls, bread, and cupcakes was set up self-service style. A bar and staff bartender were inside the tent, and alcohol was ordered through drink tickets paid for by the hosting organization. Bottom line? The grounds are gorgeous, with flowers and flowering shrubs everywhere, the course staff was fantastic, and the food and dining experience was top notch. PRO TIP If you're running a tournament, outside alcohol is a no-no here. If your sponsors want to give out beer at their stations, they'll have to buy it from Hawk's Landing.

The workers there were very patient and friendly and walked my group and I through swinging the club and varying techniques since it was our first time. It made the experience so much more fun, and we learned along the way. Very intimate setting with only two greens. You could rent out one for up to six players for $50 each hour, or both for a bigger party! They have many options - you could strictly do the driving range or choose from courses with varying difficulty levels. After each swing, it lets you know your stats. They also have clubs available if you do not have your own. With two televisions inside, you do not have to worry about missing any of the sports games either. I also loved that it was bring your own food and drink. There are so many great restaurants within walking distance that offer take out - we ordered some apps from 75 Center (I recommend).

This was one of the smaller indoor golf facilities I've been to, but it felt cozier and less intimidating because of it. My fiancé and I are beginners, and his mom plays more often, but we all had fun! There were plenty of different courses to pick from that are fitting for a range of skill levels. I really appreciated that they provided takeout menus from nearby restaurants and provided a nice area where you can spread out some food, sit, and relax. We were able to rent their golf clubs for free, and the hour and a half rental time was perfect for the 3 of us. This was a great winter activity, and we'll be keeping it in mind for the summer too if we want to stay out of the heat!

Different lunch options and I tried the blackened Mahi Mahi sandwich which came with two thick pieces of fish, along with onion rings. They also have an ice cream place connected.
