I’m planning a trip to Foxwoods Casino and I’m hoping to squeeze in some golfing while I’m there. I’m looking for recommendations on golf courses in the area.

Here’s what I’m interested in:

  • Course Quality: I want to play on well-maintained courses, ideally with good reviews.
  • Amenities: What do the courses offer? Clubhouses, restaurants, or pro shops?
  • Booking Options: Should I book in advance or can I walk on? Any tips?

Courses I’ve Heard About:

  • Lake of Isles: Heard this place is stunning but wondering if it’s worth the splurge?
  • River Ridge Golf Course: I’ve seen mixed reviews. Is it still a good option?

Other Recommendations:

If anyone has played at other golf courses near the casino, please share your experiences! Is there a course that has a great atmosphere or is particularly fun to play?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can share! Looking forward to hitting the fairways while enjoying the casino vibes!
