Golfing in December in CT. Lovin every shot...
18 holes of golf with a cart for $18.00. Can't beat it! Oak Lane was in good shape considering season. Fairways were fair and greens were rolling. Still a few leaves in spots. Overall, a very pleasant round of golf. No complaints...Thanks Oak Lane-GolfNow

Oak Lane is a classic
I have only been playing Oak Lane since Tradition management took over the formerly private country club post-bankruptcy. They have done a fantastic job of getting the course back to good conditions and the renovations to the clubhouse and restaurant are incredible. I maintain that Tradition of Wallingford and now Oak Lane have the absolute best burgers I have ever tasted anywhere (and this includes across the country as I travel for work). The layout is fun, the golf is good, but the food is amazing.

My new favorite course!
Challenging, it is a nice layout with just enough rough. The crew also did a great job keeping leaves out of play.

good mix of long and short par 4's, holes 1 and 10 are monsters - pretty tough start to both nines
1st 3 holes are tough, then there are a few birdie opportunities, 9 requires a big drive to make the corner, 10 is brutal, back nine is a bit more open than the front. Staff is very friendly, food is good, nice bar. if you want football after the round, the course doesn't get FOX network, not sure why. Great track and tons of golf for the price.

Friendly, helpful staff
Being fall fairways were leaf free for the most part. The day was windy so the leaves would gather in the thick rough. From check -in to the "19th hole" from starter to on course refreshments you couldn't ask for a more pleasant experience. Also the courtesy shown by the course maintenance workers while we were playing and putting on the greens. A very classy operation.

It's like a private club.
From the time you pull up to til the time you pull away all the employees are helpfull and glad to see you. I've played here 3x and each time I was greeted like I was a valuable member of a private club. The grounds are pretty and as well maintained as a private club. The restaurant food is very good and well priced; the wait staff and bartenders are friendly and work hard.

Converted private course
More interesting and diverse than most public courses since it was previously private. Played several times this season and always in good condition.

The best option among the golf courses in a 10 miles radius from downtown New Haven, CT
The layout is pleasant, the greens properly maintained (compared to other courses in the area) and the staff very accommodating.
Last but not least, the club house ambiance is live, and there is a reasonably large choice of drinks and food.

Great layout!
Roughs are left way too long. Mgt still working with course maintenance after recent conversion from private to public.

Good Variety
The Tradition at Oak Lane is a well-maintained course that offers a variety of holes that work every club in your bag. They have Par 3"s from 120-180 yds, par 4"s from 300-445 yds and par 5's from 450 -545 yds. Doglegs, uphills, downhills.
Greens are in good condition and fast.
Fun to play.

Too stacked up on the first tee, long rounds
They don't have enough time between tee times for the first hole which is the hardest hole on the course and a par five. Even the second hole is very hard with difficult pins that everyone 3 putts. Bad start, swap the nines. Great layout, good golf if they could maintain a good pace.

A diamond in the ruff. The course has a lot to offer any golfer

Best value in New Haven County
Oak Lane provides an extrodinary golf experience for the experienced duffer considering the course was on the brink of extinction a few years ago. The layout is challanging and fair. Most of the greens are sloped back to front allowing aggresive approoaches and all are in excellent shape, even this late in the season. The bunkers are where they should be and have a consistant granular feel. Pick your clubs carefully off the tee, many holes require position over distance to score effectively.
I tried Oak Lane once and have not missed a week since.
Also, the food in the clubhouse is excellent and the bar is great.
A complete and highly satisfying golf oasis. Not to be missed

A well maintained challenging course
I was very surprised to find this local gem. It is well maintained and the staff is very friendly. A nice layout and not crowded. Truly a secret to share only with your closest friends.

If I rate it poorly will it continue to be less crowded?
Never had a bad experience here
