3 friends and I picked a great morning to take in 9 holes. The weather was perfect. We teed off at 7 AM, so the dew was still on the greens.
East Mountain Golf Course was a challenging course. Although the course is tucked into a residential neighborhood, there is plenty of length to the holes. The layout was not filled with imagination, but it was acceptable. The par threes were especially tough, measuring 188, 203, and 137 yards respectively. The greens were in excellent condition, but the sand and fairways could have been a little better. Not unusual for a municipal golf course.
The course appeared well run, with friendly, unpretentious staff. We teed off right at our tee time. The course was busy, but definitely not too crowded.
Although I did not partake, the facilities did include a small restaurant and bar.
I would definitely go back to East Mountain Golf Course, and I recommend it for anyone looking to grab a round in the Waterbury area.
