Moving into Fall in Watertown Connecticut 2025-6
We had some fine colors this year but very rare and not at all what I would have expected from the golf Course at Crestbrook Park, which has the high vistas that make the course play so challenging.
This post has some of the shots I have taken here of the foliage only and what I would have hoped to pass along as current.
Upon entering the drive at Crestbrook, Merriman Pond occupies the view on one's right When in full sun and color the reflections off the pond's surface are a match to the stand of color on the banks.
The view from the parking lot gave a hint of a frost delay and hopefully not too long.
The bend on the par 5 4th hole shows colors that were always a distraction to add to the difficulty of the hole.
The green on the par 3 5th is surrounded by colors and knowing where to place the ball is key. Need to know exactly which yellow leaf on the right is the target.
The 12 hole offered the colors around the fairways, but also on the hills on the opposite side of the curse.
The 12th hole has the danger of the pond, and the distraction behind the green as well.
The 14th fairway has it nuances, who wants a sand trap in the landing zone in the center of the fairway.
The 15th offers similar distraction with a tight alley to hit through and then get it safely onto the green.
The 15th hole offers its own challenges with the distance and decisions to make regarding the creek that runs across the fairway.
From the green on 15, one gets to appreciate the view on the par 3 16th and the large water obstacle that guards the left side of the hole.
Again, we had some colors, but they were not as vibrant as those of previous years. Maybe with a more normal weather pattern we can get back to the true New England fall.
