Buena Vista Golf Course

Buena Vista Golf Course is a public, 9-hole executive golf course owned and operated by the Town of West Hartford, Connecticut, at 37 Buena Vista Road. Playing to a par of 31 over a moderately hilly layout with strategically placed traps, it offers three sets of tees — a Long Course stretching to 1,977 yards and a shorter Short Course at 1,653 yards — plus a practice green for chipping and putting. A round typically takes just 1.5 to 2 hours, and tee times aren't required, making it a popular choice for juniors learning the game, golfers wanting a quick nine, and seniors after a moderately challenging round rather than a full 18.

The course carries a published course rating of 35.5 and a slope rating of 113. Green fees are kept accessible for both residents and non-residents: $15 for 9 holes on weekdays ($14 for seniors 65+ and juniors 12-18), $17 on weekends and holidays, with golf carts available for $14 and clubs available to rent. Season passes are available for $465 (adult, full privileges) or $395 (senior/junior).
