This course is part of a park and run by the town of Stratford. It is right on the ocean and overall appears to be a well-maintained park. It is also one of the cheapest courses we've played all summer, which makes us feel a little better about the course not being the greatest. It’s also a little difficult to find if you are no familiar with the area. The carpets are very worn and definitely need to be replaced. The water hazards also need to be cleaned or have some kind of filter system. There was hardly any water in the "ponds" which is a bit unsightly. The bricks that line the course are loose and need to be cemented into place. A minor attempt at keeping with a local theme was evidenced in the lighthouse on the course. There were not many notable obstacles, however. On interesting thing about this course was its use of a starting system we had not seen before. It had various different color “tees” (think a real golf course) and depending on which color you used the difficulty, and thus the par, varied. This course is worth playing if you're going to the park anyway, but not necessarily a course to seek out otherwise.
