About the course
The good people of Bloomfield know how to get a bang for a buck. After waiting 38 years for a muni, they were rewarded with a course by one of the game's great architects for just one dollar. To serve public-course players, Pete Dye decided to create five accessible courses for a buck apiece. Built with Tim Liddy, wintonbury hills golf course is a hybrid that mixes links-style holes with the traditional, forested look of the Northeast. Several holes on the front nine demand that you carry some of the course's 91 acres of protected wetland. The back nine has more character. A trough-like fairway at the 408-yard 16th kicks balls toward the center; short hitters can safely aim at a huge bunker 240 yards down the right side. The only quibble is that the practice range is a couple minutes' drive away. Still, if that's your biggest burden, you might be getting an even better deal than Bloomfield got for its dollar. -excerpt from the article "Top Ten You Can Play," GOLF MAGAZINE, February 2004
