So deeply satisfying to revisit and play a historic course you had a hand in restoring. Keney Park in Hartford, CT, Devereux Emmet from 1927, brought back from dead a decade ago by Matt Dusenberry, has held up well. Management should increase green fees for needed revenue.

Enjoy your family time in CT, thanks for stopping by.
A great afternoon at CC of Farmington (CT), where passionate members have engaged architect @Dusenberry_Golf and superintendent @ScottRamzay to rediscover Devereux Emmet’s Golden Age influence there. A prime example doing a lot with a little on the renovation/restoration front.

Today is the grand opening and naming of the @ccfcountryclub new “Himalayas “ green. The largest and funnest putting surface in Connecticut. Staff and designers are proud of efforts and outcome of the vision. @Dusenberry_Golf @glmanton

@jim_mckenna visiting @keneyparkgolf today. Jim was/is our full time on site designer. Gary DeVaux has been the superintendent since the 2016 renovation and is doing a great job. No.13 on @GolfMagazine list. Can’t wait to get back

None of our golf course rankings is, arguably, more important than our best munis list, the first such compilation our raters have ever put together.

The Wolf Pit hazard that Devereux Emmet created at CCFarmington has since become overgrown with vegetation. @Dusenberry_Golf made a virtual recreation. Like or retweet this if you think it should be restored. More pics: https://t.co/0xMowKwBn4

THE COUNTRY CLUB Farmington, Conn. Devereux Emmet, 1924 Private Every Emmet-minded change @Dusenberry_Golf has made & @ScottRamzay has implemented so far in the course’s ongoing piecemeal renovation helps to realize its potential to be one of the most interesting and fun in CT.

Restoring green size and improving strategy of 3 at CC Farmington. Bold use of contour. This is the Wolf Pit hole. Hopefully restoring soon. Old sand quarry pit used as a cross hazard by Emmet on this par 5 @glmanton @jim_mckenna @ScottRamzay
