Love this place…read more I've played over 100 disc golf courses all over the US and this my favorite. The course itself is on an incredibly picturesque setting with five different ponds, elevation, and Christmas Trees. The four hole layouts range from fun but challenging to super technical and crazy long which is what I went for just to get the experience. I got 3 evening/dusk rounds in while in Mass for work last July and not surprisingly lost a few discs. Much to my surprise I get a call from the course three months later asking for my address so they can mail the discs they found. Three days later the discs are waiting for me on my front porch in California. Can't beat that service!

There also a dam at one end, and beautiful views of the lake. The lake is 200 acres, and the park includes 24 campsites, a boat launch, picnic tables and shelters, an 18-hole disc golf course, miles of trails, boating, hunting, and fishing. The lake purportedly offers largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, perch, carp, and sunfish. The trails are now nicely marked, thanks to an Eagle Scout project by Giovanni Couture, Troop 66 in May 2022. The project also added benches with views of the lake. The footing can be a little challenging with rocks, roots, downed trees, etc. In the fall, the fallen leaves can make it even trickier, and quite slippery when wet. This is a very pleasant park to visit, hike, or fish. There has always been ample parking when we visited, and I think swimming is prohibited.

I saw a tennis courts, basketball courts, a playscape, walking trails and a nice pond among the trolls They also had a Dels lemonade truck in the parking lot and this was perfect for a hot summers day

It was cool to see. Good pit stop to get some exercise. The bathroom they had was a camp-style latrine type where it was a big hole and no sink. Was fine for me to pee but my city friend didn't like it. Gets the job done when you have to pee and it's a step up above a portopotty.

Review #900: This…read moreplace looks and feels like a ski lodge nestled on the foothills of Talcott Mountain State Park. The Hublein Tower can be seen clearly. We went on a Saturday (February) afternoon and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. They were playing reggae music, the fire was going, beers/cider/wine were flowing; a fun and chill afternoon. They offer so many beers from all different breweries! I didn't really know what to expect before going and this place was on my "to check out" list. I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy they were kid friendly because we brought our two little ones. I saw some people eating pretzels and we got some delicious buttered popcorn to snack on. The kitchen offers wings, chips/salsas, lobster rolls, bratwurst/kielbasa, burgers, etc. They have food trucks onsite, but when we were there (early afternoon) I didn't see one yet. I can't wait to go back during the summer/fall because their yard looked fantastic. They had a small stage, picnic tables, and fire pits. For recreation, they have disc golf, Cornhole, etc. In the summer, they also serve ice cream. This place will definitely be one of my go to spots to chill!

Gorgeous venue. Live music from Booyah was awesome last night…read more Everything is expensive and my best advice is to eat before you go! The food trucks are insanely expensive. $15 cover charge and then $40 for the small fish and chips and $55 for the large. From a truck? No way! We ordered food indoors. The chicken tacos (3) were $15 with no side. The ice cream stand was very good and had quick service and decent portions.

I am doing my part to put this new course on the map of places to play some disc golf in not only…read moreWestern Massachusetts but in all of New England. This is a newly completed 18 hole course that has been built by volunteers who have a deep passion for the sport of Disc Golf. We have cleared all the brush from the playing field but still have plenty to drag deeper off the edge. There are still some stumps that need to be cut/lopped down too (especially the back 10) but overall you can walk through with no issues. At this point the tee pads are dirt but if a grant gets passed there should be some nice new ones sooner than later with the potential of having two pins for each hole too. We do have the acreage for another 18 holes but for the time being we are going to finish cleaning up this one. As for the course itself, it is a par 63 unless it has been changed without my knowing. It plays out like so: 01 - 4 02 - 3 03 - 3 04 - 4 05 - 3 06 - 4 07 - 4 08 - 4 09 - 3 10 - 4 11 - 3 12 - 4 13 - 4 14 - 3 15 - 3 16 - 3 17 - 3 18 - 4 As most woodland courses, it has its trees that will make you want to pull your hair out. It has a unique layout where the first hole starts by overlooking the soccer field then off into the woods you go. Two is a downhill throw with a unique hanging pin. Three is a short throw across the mountain then 4-9 you make your way uphill with some holes that have plenty of potential to be a favorite. At 10 you get the feeling that a tornado ripped through with how open it is. From there 11, 12 and 13 go back across the mountain as you start to go down hill. 14 and 15 are downhill throws with 15 getting a view of the town. 16 is a short throw to the left with lots of small trees and 17 is another downhill throw with an open green. Best of luck when putting on 18! I hope you use my review as a guid to make the trip out here and give it a go. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat in town too before and or after you play, check out my reviews if you are new to the area and want to support some local spots. I will guarantee this will be a 5 star course in the future but for now there is still plenty of work that needs to be done. Please feel free to reach out to me or the Parks & Recreation department if you would like to help out.

Newton Hill is a fairly new, 18 hole, Chainstar-basketed course. I went here with a couple of…read morefriends to check it out, on what turned out to be a chilly, but almost a near perfect day for a couple rounds. First impressions: This thing really is a hill. A big one. If you feel like you need to get some work on your legs in, this in the place to do it. The course winds up and down and around the entire side, dropping you off feet from where you started. The holes average to be about 300 (give or take) feet, with a couple of outliers (155 for the shortest and 420 for the longest). It looks like a lot of effort was put into getting this upland in order. Based on the number of times one of us tripped, they removed a good number of small (inch-ish thick) trees to open up the holes a bit. As you walk, keep your eyes open, but that tends to be the case in most of the courses one might play in a wooded area like this. I noticed a good split of left and right banked holes. More right then a lot of the courses I've play in the Mass/CT area. Which I found to be good for me, as it gave me plenty of opportunities to work on my (right hand/backhand) anhyzer. The signage was sufficient, but could use improvement (which is what I have heard is in the works). The same goes for the tee pads. Most (if not all - don't remember for sure) have rubber mats but no framing, but that really isn't an issue in my opinion. Just an aesthetics thing, which come summer, when the trees all have leaves again, doesn't matter anyway since I can imagine the place being pretty enough. Overall, I don't think too many of the holes really stand out, but it was definitely a solid course. The changes in elevation adding to the challenge on some holes, either forcing yourself to throw short and not over drive on the down slopes or making you put the extra bit into getting it up there. With some of the tighter gaps, it also works accuracy about more then those courses with the large open fields. Personally, I could see myself enjoying this course while getting a little bit of practice on some of the basics at the same time (hyzer / anhyzer / low, level, and straight). As it is, I'd say Newton Hill is a 3.5 star course, but I'm going with the 4 for the potential I see in it once it is completed. I am eager to add this nice new addition into my course rotation and look forward playing it again.
