Richter - a dump and embarrassment to Danbury. It's no wonder Danbury can't attract businesses and people are leaving the area.
"Richter", as it is known, is really 5 things: a public golf course, a hiking trail, a tennis court, a basketball court, and a restaurant. Unfortunately the Board and Management are not qualified or incapable of performing their job duties in maintaining the hiking trail, tennis court and basketball court.
As a hiking trail Richter does absolutely nothing to maintain the trail or help the hikers. Ironically the trail head is overgrown with grass and weeds even though it's on a golf course where the grass is maintained! The trail head is littered with garbage and becomes a pond when it rains because they refuse to put any of the tons of fill they have for the golf course in the depressions they created with their very own equipment! And this year they gave up and simply closed the tennis court for no reason.
The golf course itself is about a 3 out of 5, the drainage is so poor that if it rains you will be slogging thru mud in your golf shoes. The fairway grass is patchy and weedy, they really need to give up and hire a lawn service.
The bright spot is the restaurant, which has very good food and a wonderful wait staff. It's small enough for an intimate dinner and big enough for your office holiday party.
In summary, Richter is a mediocre, run-down golf course that treats its taxpaying hikers, tennis and basketball players like second-class citizens. The Richter Board should be fired.
