Eastwood Country Club

Eastwood is a 9 hole course right off Rt 8 in Torrington. The course starts off with 3 back and forth par 4s then a sharp dog leg par 5 and then a driveable short 4(285 but plays shorter). Hole 8 which is a par 3 over a pond was my favorite and the hardest hole is the par 5 9th that has both of the courses water hazards on it.  The course could use some improvements but I feel that they are content with the recreational golfer and the league play they get. Overall the course gets a 5.5 and the staff was very accommodating.

While I waited to tee off I read a great story about a league there where the founding member still plays well into his 90s. Wish I remembered the name of the guy/group cause he deserves a shoutout.

Another course with power lines running through it.

East Mountain Golf Course

East Mountain is one of two muni courses in Waterbury. This course is the better of the two and also the easier of the two. Its a par 70 with rating 68.6 and slop 118 from the tips. I played it early this spring at the end of a 54 hole day so am having trouble recalling the details of each hole. With that said hope others can share their comments here.
