Westwood Golf Course -- Farmington, Connecticut

Address: 7 Westwood Drive, Farmington, CT 06032 (off Route 177)
Phone: 860-675-2548
18 hole course - Executive
Cost: $17.50 for 9 holes, non-resident, weekdays
$20 non-resident, weekends

Westwoods is an executive course. The par on the front nine is 31. However, there is one par 5, and the front nine ends with a 200+ yard par 3. Many of the par 3's are long, so the course does offer some good challenge even though it's an executive course.

The course is in good shape. Above average for a municipal course. Greens are slow, but well kept.

One significant plus for Westwoods is the top notch practice facilities. The course has a huge practice green, and an excellent grass (not mats) driving range. If you're looking for a place to work on your game, the Westwoods practice area is a great choice.

I thought the course was a bit on the expensive side considering it's not a full par 35 or 36. However, my overall experience at Westwoods was positive.
