We worked with Gail, Erin, Lisanne, Grace, Dan and many others behind the scenes to coordinate our 11/20/20 wedding. We planned and booked our wedding way before the pandemic even started. Great River worked with us every step of the way. Shortly before our wedding, the numbers of guests had to be lowered per state restrictions. The team at GR came up with innovative and creative ways so we could still have a wedding that are our guests could safely enjoy. The team also worked so incredibly hard to decorate the entire venue for Christmas in ONE AND HALF short days. It was absolutely stunning. Our guests still rave about the venue, the decor, the food, and just the overall atmosphere. We loved doing our first look photographs at various locations on the gorgeous grounds including the amazing waterfall that was still running at the end of November. We were extremely lucky to have a gorgeous weather day. Thank you EVERYONE for providing Kevin and I with a wedding during a global pandemic that was safe and fun for everyone in attendance including your own dedicated staff members.

Remarkable experience for us. Had a wedding and reception there. Flawless! Food was good, and sufficient in quantity. Staff was attentive and accommodating. Bar service was good, with drinks of appropriate strength. It was clean and attractive for us. They did all of the things we needed and expected without flinching on either side.

This place is outstanding wonderful restaurant with friendly friendly people waiters the managers and the food is exquisite from the water on the table to the wonderful menu items including even coffee and dessert. I cant describe how wonderful our time was we sat out on the porch underneath the shade with a nice breeze going enjoying our appetizers first and then getting into huge hamburgers and chicken francese and a wonderful barbecued meal. I cant tell you how much of a great time we had this is definitelyis a five star restaurant thank you everyone there who made it a special night for my wife and our friends

Course was in great shape. Nice layout. Picturesque course. All staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice place to sit outside on their back porch. The roof comes over the patio so you arent in the sun. The golf course grounds are real pretty plus past the golf course is the Housatonic River. Beautiful view as you are eating or sipping on a a good drink. Their food prices are very reasonable. We went for lunch, the menu includes soup, sandwiches, hamburgers, several salad choices and more. The restaurant is off the beaten path, unless someone tells you about it, I dont know where you would hear about it. Unless you are a member of the golf club. The flowers driving into the property are beautiful.My husband had a hamburger and said it was very good. I had the strawberry salad that was loaded with strawberries & blueberries. I had a side of chicken salad, I wasnt impressed by it. The chicken pieces were large and it seemed like there was only, celery,onions and mayo. It could of used some herbs, and maybe some nuts and grapes in it. It tasted mainly of onion flavor.

Was at a wedding. The staff where some of the best I have ever seen. Everyone was on top of their game. Very nice venue

Good brunch and beautiful fall vistas. An afternoon well spent!

Played Great River as part of an association outing. Golf course was in excellent shape, especially considering the amount of rainfall leading up to the event. Greens were fast and well maintained. Food for lunch and the post event reception was excellent. All around, a great experience.

Met my friend halfway to play 36. This was our afternoon round. When we got to the drop off we weren’t exactly certain where to leave our bags and check in. The kid apologized finally and told us to set them down next to the pick up. We left our bags and I left a giant bottle of water next to it. Go up to the first tee. My water was missing and my bag put on backwards. Cool start. We play the entire 9 without the beverage cart girl. It was almost 90 degrees. Awesome. We make the turn where I get water at station. Told the guy at the turn about no cart girl. He had no idea. But we did see her. Same guy now tells us to we have to wait for 15 min because where the wedding was located it was next to par 3. He didn’t want pictures with carts going by. At this point I’m pretty frustrated. I’m paying $140 dollars for this? I voice my discontent to the same man. So he had another guy take us around to the hole number 11 where would come back to ply the par 3 last. We said absolutely. We play two holes. A par five first. As we get to the par 5 green. We See FIVE players teeing off on a par 3. To confirm what we saw. As we come to the par 3 tee box. Indeed a fivesome! As we stand on the par three tee box for five min. Watching one looking for his ball and the others WAITING for him to putt or come up. No one let’s us play through(we are a twosome). My buddy and I agree at now 645 pm 4 holes to go plus the par three we skipped. We were in Trouble not only finishing but waiting or skipping another because of these idiots. So we left and confirmed that they were indeed a hole and a half behind. We get back to the pro shop and express our concerns for a possible refund or free play. Left info and my buddy was told the best they could do was a 9 hole refund.Really? So I come to a semi private course. Pay $140. My bags on backwards. My water is missing. No cart girl. No water. Skipping holes. Playing behind fivesomes. NO ranger. Totally UNACCEPTABLE!! Shame on you guys. Will not be back. There was good thing. The ppl in the restaurant were very nice and I ate slamming burger before I played. Not worth $140 bucks though.

Just played a tournament there today. Course was in great shape, staff was amazing and the food was very good. This is one of the most scenic courses in all of CT. Only thing that wasnt awesome was the greens, and it was only because they had been aerated recently. Nothing you can do about that this time of year.

Food was delicious and service was excellent.

Course was in great shape. Nice layout. Picturesque course. All staff were friendly and helpful. Bit pricey though. Would play again.

Great practice area, great lessons, facility and course are well taken care of.

Course was in great shape, staff was amazing and the food was very good.

This place has a wonderful atmosphere! Great for familys, business lunches, weddings, and just about any type of get together for a hearty meal. The menus is catered to meet most visitors taste buds. I do recommend highly the Chicken pot pie. You actually get a lot of tasty chicken in the pie. Its like your grand mom made it. Its great ! Mudslide cake is my choice for desert. Oh Boy! What a choice. Never tasted anything better! Try it! Youll like it! Came back November 30th and had ocean Scallops over crab meat fettuccini. Its was DELICIOUS ! The clam chowder I had was the BEST Ive ever tasted. My wife had a 4 inch thick tasty Pork chop and sides. The chicken Risotto to die for!

We got married on April 27, 2019 and I cannot say enough good things about Great River Golf Club. This venue is a beautiful combination of elegance an intimacy. I worked with Gail, Erin and Julianne and they are all wonderful in their own way. The day of our wedding we felt no stress at all and I wish I could relive that day everyday at Great River. My favorite thing about Great River is that it is an intimate setting and they only hold one wedding at a time. As a bride, this was a big deal for me. To all future brides, I will recommend Great River Golf Club for my entire life !!!

This is my happy place

Course was beautiful but for $140 the service needs to be better! Front desk check in was less than kind and we didn’t see a cart on the course once. Not once! Admittedly they said there was only one on the course. It was a perfect Friday with every hole occupied. Are you kidding? Your local competition has you beat in the service department. Step it up.And do not eat at Monty’s. Horrible service and below average food.

Went for lunch on Thursday July 11. Reservation with Lisanne was friendly & courteous. We were gracefully greeted by Julianne who is an exceptional manager of this restaurant. She seated us outside on the porch table which was truly a delight. Very nice summer menu. All three of us had chicken salad sandwich with a side salad. We all liked it very much! Our server Asia was very attentive & polite. Thank you for very much for a relaxing & enjoyable afternoon. We will definitely return.

Always a great meal at Montys! The Banana Fosters dessert was unique and delicious!

Went for the Santa brunch. Food is amazing! Great activity for the family and kids!

Suprised at the facilities and course. Well laid out and beautiful. Takes full advantage of the river. Lunch was very good as well.

Awesome track and a great challenge

What a beautiful course... very difficult. Great shape...wish I could afford to play it more often!

A beautiful golf course with great views, challenging holes and a great staff! I would recommend to all golfers and for events of all types..

What a great day. The course is in great shape. The employees are pleasant and friendly. Thanks for a great round!

Montys is a Great place for date night. Thursdays include pasta specials and half price bottles of wine for wines under $100. Food was great, wine was great!

Food was Excellent! Had the French Dip and Onion Rings (recommend). Asia was a pleasure!

Went downhill a lot? Not sure why...needs to be maintained better. No food options in the morning.

Relaxed atmosphere, abundance of food always take home, friendly staff, enjoy lunching there every time.

Beautiful course. One of the best in Connecticut.

A gorgeous venue, so elegant and well maintained. The service was excellent, and my best friends bridal shower for her daughter was a beautiful event. I highly recommend this venue for special occasions :)

The food was delicious and the service was great. The views from the porch were delightful

Went for Easter Brunch and it was great! The service was the best I have experienced in a long while. We called at 2pm on Easter and were greeted with a no problem. The hostess told us to come on down and they sat us very comfortably at the bar. I was a little worried about sitting in the bar with my 70 year old mother, but the atmosphere was very pleasant. The bartender was very sweet and attentive. The food was amazing and I am not usually one for a buffet. I would definitely go back, but call ahead for a table reservation next time!

The course was very scenic and well manicured, and the staff was very courteous.

Absolutely Beautiful!!

I was lucky enough to attend a wedding here and it was one of the best wedding meals Ive ever had! Lovely dining area Great Outdoor space.

Masuk High School 40th Reunion was held here. Beautiful facility and a great time was had by all.

Went for lunch at the restaurant at Great River with coworkers. I had the eggplant Parmesan myself and it was great the others had an assortment of sandwiches with fries and salads everything look great everything tasted great.Is very clean and very quiet place. The staff is very polite and professional.

Not what it used to be.Greens aerated and bare in many spots. Cart path only despite no recent rain. Was told fairways were distressed. Snack bar not manned at turn and no one seemed to care. Oh and they charged full rate. Used to really enjoy this place. Played about 10-12 times if I was in the area. Last time was 3 years ago. My has it gone downhill. Sad!

Was very warm and cozy and had beautiful views. food was well prepared and delicious

Great River Golf Club, 4-1/2 stars, is home to a championship golf course that ranks with some of the best in Connecticut. This tree-lined and open parkland layout provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area.

I had a really great brunch here with my girlfriend and her family. The space was really nice, the food was solid, and they had a variety of mimosa/bellini options, which I always appreciate. Staff was super friendly, it was a very good morning.

Beautiful resort like setting and great patio overlooking golf course, good food and very reasonably priced. hope they have more special events similar to what the former owners had offered. Their Pig roast and Pizza on the grill night were great times

Best deal on Wednesday night Burger and Brew. Probably the prettiest place in Fairfield County. The view is amazing.

Worked here as a photographer for a wedding. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the venue & grounds are simply gorgeous even on the rainy January day I was there.

Great course, tough, but not ridiculously. Played in the rain and the course still held up great, speed was good on the greens, played true to how theyre lined up. Clubhouse is one of the nicest around. Beverage Cart staff was very nice, Jackie was awesome!

Great golf course! Stayed in Shelton for a few days and found this gem. Awesome staff, very friendly, manicured course. Slightly priced on the high side, but I expected that out east. Would highly recommend to any level golfer!

Ridiculously difficult course. if you are not a single digit handicap you can easily score 20 or more shots over your average and lose a dozen balls. who needs it.

Absolutely beautiful golf course. Very challenging but a lot of fun.

Excellent Brunch with Santa! Awesome food and atmosphere!

Nice layout and challenging. Definitely will play again

Attended a wedding here, it was beautiful. Great view from the building of the golf course

Not sure if it was worth the price considering the condition of the greens (slow and had a lot play). Some fun holes on both 9s.

Great golf course and beautiful clubhouse!

Evan though it was built with dirty money, this course is awesome and challenging. Its great that Sacred Heart University is now the majority owner. The investment will make SHU the only New England and New York Metropolitan school to offer golf course management as an academic focus.

Really disappointing how far this course has fallen. This was my “go to” public course in Fairfield County but after my visit this weekend I won’t be going back for a long time. The greens were always pristine here but they are now in terrible shape. It looks like they have been over treated and over watered. Lots of dead spots. I’ve also noticed a change in the staff - a usually friendly and laid back attitude has changed to stuffy, controlling and inflexible. While still a nice facility overall with the potential for a great golf course it’s not nearly what it once was. Hopefully it can be turned around in the future. Until then I’ll find somewhere else to play.

One of the top clubs in CT. Course in great shape. Attentive staff

Greens were terrible first weekend in November. Also were kicked off the course at 430 because thats when they close, even though we had another 40 minutes of daylight. Snack bar had no hot food. Also was cartpath only and fairways were quite dry.

Excellent service, quinine, prices and food.

Beautiful, pristine semi-private course. You get what you pay for - its on the pricey side.

This golf course is playing great one of the best in the state ...This year the greens rolling so nice and consistent .the course has changed a lot in the last year ..All to the good .... Greatriver staff is all ways great ...

I attended a wedding for a family member at this venue and was very pleased with the quality of good and drinks, cleanliness of the facility, and overall great presentation of the grounds.

Loved playing here! The course was in amazing shape and had so much character.

Went for a wedding the course was beautiful with great views. The service was fast and friendly. The food was okay.

Very clean! Provide awesome service

Beautiful well maintained course accompanied with a professional yet welcoming staff.

I love the atmosphere and the view is spectacular

Resort like setting and great food and reasonably priced
