North Stonington, Conn., Jan. 14, 2013 – Lake of Isles’ North and South Courses were ranked among the top courses by Golf Digest in its Best In State Rankings. The Rees Jones designed South Course was ranked No. 3 and the North Course was No. 6.
“Connecticut is known for outstanding public and private courses,” stated Archie Cart, Lake of Isles general manager. “We are fortunate enough to have both our private and public course ranked regionally and also nationally. We take great pride in providing our members and guests with the ultimate experience from pristine course conditions to five-star service. The Mashantucket Pequot Nation’s commitment to quality has paved the way for the growth we continue to experience today at Lake of Isles.”
Golf Digest’s Best In State rankings appear in the magazine’s February issue. The rankings are based on Golf Digest panel of raters that evaluates courses on shot value, resistance to scoring, design variety, memorability, aesthetics, conditioning and ambience.
