What Players Are Saying

Great layout with a lot of difficult holes. Some greens are close to the next tee so "fore" echoes the course. Absolutely impeccable greens for a packed tee sheet! Holes 16-17 are close to the water with great views of the river. Absolutely a great course and worth playing over and over again!

Larry Thomas

On a nice day, this course is amazing. Excellent views plays well always a good time when you play here. Holes 15 to 17 go out to the river with great views and you can see the lighthouse from the green of 16.

Geoffrey Herpok

A great example of how golf should be played. It isn't long and it's very wide open, but on a windy day, it'll beat you up if you're not careful. It's very walkable too, as are most Golden Age golf courses, which is another big plus.

I love Shennecossett! The course is a fun layout, the greens always roll well and the staff is great. What more can you ask for?
