Golf in January . . . Not very Common in Connecticut

It's not very often that we can enjoy warm weather and a snow free view. It's rarer still for our golf courses to be open this early, or late in the season.

Yesterday, was that rare instance when the golf universe was perfectly aligned, with temps in the low 60's and willing friends.

Not many golf courses are still open in Litchfield county, but Crestbrook Park in Watertown CT is still open for play, and will be open until the first snow of the year or the end of January.

Crestbrook is still running their 4 for 3 special. This allows a foursome to play with cart but only 3 pay.

A bonus is a bonus and January Golf in Central Connecticut is a bonus.
