A quick little par 3 to get your game going. From an slightly elevated tee shaded by maple trees, avoid the bunker on the left that can easily turn this hole into a bogie. The green slopes from right to left so aim to the right of the pin.
The longest par 3 on the course. It is best to be short of the green so remember to take one less club from the elevated tee.
The second longest par 3. At first glance it looks easy, but the green is well protected by a sand trap defending the green on the left and woods to the right.
The hardest par 3 on the course. This elevated green is well protected with two deep bunkers guarding the front of the green. The ideal shot is is a high fade that will land softly on the small well protected green.
The fifth hole is a challenging short par 3 that plays one club less due to the elevated tee. The small green is protected by a large bunker to the left of the green. If you hit the postage stamp geen in regulation you have a great chance for birdie.
This straight away hole is the last of the par 3 holes. Trust your yardage and make a good swing. Like most of the holes at Quarry View you are better off being short of the green.
The 7th is our signature hole that features a view of the limestone quarry.(Some of the stone from the Quarry was used to build the State Capital Building in Hartford) This double dog leg to the right has a sloping fairway that wants to keep your ball away from the pin. A big drive will usually leave you with a short approach to an elevated green. This elongated green is well protected with a sand trap on the left and woods to the back and right.
The most unique hole on the course is defended not by bunkers, but by five large clumps of tall thick brush we nicknamed eat-em-up-us that make the green almost invisible from the elevated tee box. You can play safe and lay up to the left or cut the dogleg and go for the green and set yourself up for a birdie or maybe even an eagle.
Enjoy the view of the quarry from the 8th hole Tee area.
The 9th is a dog leg to the right with an upward sloping fairway to an elevated green that is well protected by two sand bunkers. Big hitters go for the green from the tee, but the best play is to keep the ball in the fairway and set yourself up with your 2nd shot to the small elevated green.
