Moving into Fall in Watertown Connecticut 2025-5
In making my color walk at the Golf Course in Crestbrook Park in Watertown, CT it was most apparent that we hit peak, on the course.
I suspect that it would have to do with the openness of the fairways that would allow more wind penetration of the leaves, as the surrounding areas did not have much of a depletion.
The gazebo alongside the lake was cleared of leaves as were the trees.
The trees alongside the lake were baren with a minimal reflection off the water.
The opposite bank is the same.
Looking down to the 2nd green there are very few trees left on the trees.
Looking across the 3ed to the 4th fairways there are very few leaves on the trees
The 4th green shows well but the shade doesn't allow it to display colors.
The 7th fairway has a lot of slope, but with the leaves down it is less dramatic for the view, but the shots are still tricky.
The color around the 8th hole was still strong even though the hole is a 205 yard down hill beast.
Looking backwards to the 7th fairway offers a view that is pretty as well.
Th par 5 9th is long and the distraction of the leaves whether on the trees or the ground are difficult.
The reverse view shows how much of the color is gone.
The fairway alongside the 11-hole show almost no color on the sides, yet the hillside beyond shows a lot.
There are no leaves on the side of the 11th fairway.
From the tee of the 13th hole looking up to the green, even the red maple behind the green has no color left
The 15th fairway shows some color but not as striking as it has been in the past.
I have a library of photos from years past and as the leaves are almost gone, will share some of them for the Sunday post next week.
On the road leaving the park to get back to the highway, I pulled over to show the colors not only that distract on the road, but on the hills around as well.
