Reviews of Candlewood Valley Country Club (Golf)

Ed Lewis

We happened by while looking at nearby real estate, unsure if the restaurant would welcome non-members. Our casual lunch was superb. Two of us chose the arugula avocado and shrimp salad. We both agreed it was perfect, best of its kind. The shrimp were large and delicious, probably Gulf since they actually burst with a savory grilled flavor and there were enough to satisfy. The pairings were a delight. Another partner had the salmon and pasta daily special which was also very nice. Some bread to go along would have been appreciated but then we didn't ask. The service was also fine. Would go again, and maybe even take up golf.

Very slow play and ranger was no help

A solid 4 stars. Couldn't go the full 5, because I think it's $10-$15 more expensive than it should be; and because the layout is nothing special. Other than that it's an excellent course. It's in great shape, greens rolled very smooth and true. The pace of play was excellent, and I was a walking single on a picture perfect Friday for golf. The fairways and tee boxes were all full and lush. I will absolutely be back, but probably not on a weekend or holiday because of the rates.

golfing wasn’t bad.. staff was harassing

I raised my 4 star review to a 5 star review. I played about a dozen times in 2014 up from 3 times in 2013. The golf course is greatly improved from years past. 1. It has been maintained and been in great condition. Excellent fairways, better drainage, maintained sand traps and much faster greens. 2. Cart girls are more frequent and are friendly and helpful. 3. The Rangers have been excellent at keeping pace of play faster. 4. Rarely an issue getting a last minute tee times. 5. Occasionally they will let you go off the back nine first which gets you a fast front nine with two nice warm up holes. Way to go Candlewood!

The course was nice, but greens weren't consistent for judging speed. Some ran much quicker than others. Didn't have a great first impression. I was almost hit a few times after we started getting rushed through by a couple of teens behind us in graphic teeshirts and sneakers. I was on the tee on the 16th hole when a ball dropped about 10 feet from my head. By the 18th hole, they were within 15 yards as my group began to putt. Meanwhile, we did our due diligence and waited for the group in front of us to get to the greens before teeing off. Overall, the course was limiting and not for those looking to work on improving their game.

Course in great shape.

William Anderson

Interesting layout. Played just over 6k yards from men's tees. A number of blind tee shots that require getting used to. Greens in perfect perfect condition.

Well maintained course with some narrow fairways,well guarded greens and a fair amount of trouble. Nice views and topography.

Great course.. Well maintained and just a gem hiding in CT

Barry Miller

Well maintained course but in my estimation it is at best poorly managed. Was sent off on the 10th tee by the starter and within 3 holes was accosted by another player demanding too know who let us off ahead of him, rude people who acted as if the owned the course. As a visitor from VA but born and raised in New Milford, I was appalled by the actions of both players and staff. Would not recommend this course to anyone unless you want to be verbally abused.

Charlie McCarroll

Good shape

Thomas Reed

Nice spot

Ron Blois

Interesting, public course. Part of it is in a swamp. Fairly flat and level course.

Probably CT's best kept secret. Total value for money excellent course great condition and plenty challenging and varied Great service ample parking and full service inc range. Priced very moderately for such a good course better than Ritchie park which everyone raves about. Water holes galore and fair bunkers even after a day of heavy rain
