Fairview Farm Golf Course

THEE WORST COURSE MANAGEMENT EVER! DO NOT PLAY THIS PLACE ON WEEKENDS… teed off and literally took an HOUR to play first 3 holes, FiNALLY saw a ranger who told us he was moving everyone along… right, so for next 2 holes somewhat got caught up, BUT only to have to sit a wait? Then the restaurant, forget that, first off saw 3 young ladies behind bar complaining about something, finally one of them noticed us sitting, only to hear 2 options I wanted «sorry don’t have that today»?? Lastly, attitude or arrogance? Viewed their chef walking Keith walking around pissed off, girls mad, then the lady at prop shop TOTALLY RUDE ! And house pro behind her and didn’t intervene and say a word with frown on his face… Played this place 2 days running, they used to care, to bad cause Bob does great work with course upkeep… BUT STAFF need to go!

The course is beautiful. It’s well maintained, scenic and very enjoyable. I’ve read a couple comments about the lady in the pro shop and I couldn’t agree more. Her attitude and straight up rudeness trumped our otherwise good experience. Fairview… do yourselves a favor and explain to her what decency is. Purely for this reason I’ll find somewhere else to go. Ain’t nobody got time for that

Golf course is great but the food and cocktails are gross first off u have like a 90 year old lady makin drinks that are horrible the food is even worst I say play golf there then go to center of litchfield to eat

I’ve been going back and forth as to the amount of stars I want to give this place. The course is beautiful, fair but challenging. The greens are very difficult but nonetheless fantastic. Course was in great shape when we played (7:00am tee time on a rainy Sunday). The par 3s are awesome here, placing a good shot is very rewarding, a bad one? You may have to scramble to save that par.
Now for the bad. It was a rainy morning, no fault to them of course. We still teed off. Rain continued to fall and when we reached the 3^rd hole the ranger suggested we may want to get a rain check. We looked at the weather and noticed a potential clearing, so we kept playing. At this time we were a hole or two behind and in front of the next foursome. Fast forward to the 9^th, it’s DOWNPOURING very hard. So we decide we will go inside and grab a quick sandwich and at the turn and wait for this rain cell to pass (small blip on the radar lasted about 15 minutes)
That was clearly the wrong choice. The lady working the pro shop was BEYOND rude. Absolutely the worst attitude I’ve ever heard saying we couldn’t «hang out» and needed to go finish our round as they were busy (like I said we had plenty of time as a lot of people didn’t show up due to the weather), complete with an eye roll and a snotty remark as she walked away. I’ve been golfing hundreds of times times, I know the rules and etiquette on a normal day this wouldn’t even cross our minds. If she nicely asked us to go finish our round or suggested we wait just a few minutes that’s one thing, but that attitude was a compete turn off and I will probably not golf there again, which is sad because the course was fantastic.
Went with 3 stars after thinking of only 2, the course makes up for her bitchy attitude.

Hidden gem! Extremely well maintained, challenging ups and downs. GPS on carts. Last course I played on like this was in LA. Good food too. Really surprised.

I’m not a duffer, so this is just a restaurant review.
Menu is very extensive. I would have enjoyed any meal listed. Prices are very reasonable. The meals we had were perfect! The chef came to our table to
see that we were all taken care of. It was a great experience. Been here twice already and each time was wonderful.

Nice, well kept golf course. Can’t play there on weekends though. 5.5 hours to play 18 holes is unacceptable. No ranger on a hot Sunday afternoon?

Hosted a 40 person birthday party here, they were excellent. Keith, the executive chef, is very helpful and took the time to answer all of my questions. The food was great and the service was impeccable.

I’m not a golfer, but I LOVE to eat so my review is about the food there. First of all, it’s a gorgeous place — and I mean gorgeous! We like to sit outside and eat on the patio as weather permits. Now onto the food… it truly is some of the best food around. There is a regular menu along with specials every day. I haven’t tried everything yet, but I’m working on it. One of the specials is SO good, it’s going to be on the menu for the rest of the season — it’s scrod francaise. It’s absolutely to die for! Perfectly cooked and served with a fresh vegetable medley and whole small buttered potatoes. Another incredible dish is the Tequila Lime Salmon. There are so many exceptional dishes. oh, and a brunch on Sunday that’s very reasonable, varied and delicious. Once in a while they will have clams and the Clams Casino is probably the best I’ve even had (and just as beautiful to look at!) as well as the steamed clams. I had chicken saltimbocca as a special one time and I thought I died and went to heaven. My sister Linda had a seared scallop special served on rositto (and I’m sorry but I can’t remember right now how the rositto was made) and she was drooling. Then they have this cherry nut roll for dessert that I wish they didn’t have because I’m trying to lose weight… I can’t resist it. I live 5 minutes away from Fairview Farms and am thrilled that Harwinton has such a beautiful place to go to and eat an incredible meal — you will thank me for telling you about it if you haven’t been there yet. UNREAL!!!

Nice course, play here at least 1x per year in a charity event. They are making nice upgrades to the course. They do tend to run a little slow, so be patient.

Excellent course. As mentioned it is well maintained, challenging and great to play in hot weather. Golf is a passion with the owner and he assures the course is a great experience. The club house is large, deck overlooks the 9^th and 18^th holes shared 4000 SF green. Food is very good and portions are large.

Well kept challenging course.
