This event draws a few of the biggest names but mostly golfers in the second tier. The grounds are very nice and it is not overly crowded so you can get around and follow your favorites or stay at a hole and watch everyone come through. Food choices are not of the healthiest variety, lots of chips, beer, meats, etc. Good kid zone but a lot of commercialism has crept in over the years
This tournament was a nice experience, and it's really great to go the first day. Non-stop play, crowds easy and managable, parking not a mile away, concession lines not too crazy, no local traffic backed up to event. Able to see the players up close. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced general admission grounds pass. Planning on going again next year.
Travelers tickets are very affordable and the course is very accessible. We lucked out and went on the day Jim Furyk scored a 58. Good food, plenty of beverage options and activities for the family.
I live in MA, so I have a two hour drive. By the time we got there, a lot of the players were finishing their round. Play was done for the day at 1:30pm, so we didn't get to see some of the players that we wanted to see. My wife does not care for the golf that much, so she was looking forward to the concert after play was completed. We were disappointed to find out that the concert was cancelled due to the threat of bad weather. There was never a drop of rain, and at 2pm we decided to leave. We paid $15 to park this year.(the most ever) There were plenty of people available to direct us where to park, but not a single person to help direct the cars as they were leaving the lot. It took over two hours to get out of our parking lot. I have been attending the golf tournaments at Hartford every year since watching Sam Snead play at Weathersfield C.C. This year was a terrible experience, and will most likely be my last. You people should be ashamed, you can do better than that!
This tournament is always well run, fan and family friendly and an excellent venue. The course is great and a good walking track. The players involved are all excellent but keep in mind this isn't a Major or the Barclays, so your not getting all the headliners. The ticket price is more than fair and you get music/concerts on Thurs and Sat nights included. The parking is in abundance and priced at $15, but you can also go local for $5-$10 and park on someone's property within walking distance to the course. Highly recommend this if your a golf fan and if not a fan, its worth walking around for the day and the experience. also...this event is usually in June and much more comfortable weather
The event is great and it is pretty easy to get around the course and be at the high action spots (holes 15-17) or less crowded holes where you can really be up close with the players. I brought my 6 year old son so we loved the kids zone activities that they had. A couple issues I had - we went on Saturday and they moved all tee times up for a bad reason. I was lucky to notice in the morning so we could hurry there and still be there for about 3 hours of golf. They said there were concerns of thunderstorms in the afternoon. It was like 40% chance and never happened. I've learned from extensive experience to never make big plan changes because there is a medium chance of rain around here in the summer. There pretty much always is that chance and frustrating that the PGA tour weather people made this call. Even if it was a washout after 3 PM (which it never was going to last for more than an hour), they could've still easily finished on time on Sunday. My other issue is the lack of free water. It's an event with thousands of people outside in 90 degree August weather far away from medical attention and they are going to make you pay $4 for a bottle of water? That's cruel and frankly should be illegal. I hope nothing ever happens, but I could see a lawsuit. A lot of people don't like to pay that much for water after already paying good money for tickets to an event.
Had an awesome time, tournament was exciting and prices were right :)
If you like golf you have to attend this event. You are up close to the pro's and the game. You can walk the course or just plant yourself someplace and wait for the players to come by. There are ample refreshment stands throughout. My only complaint was need more rest rooms. I am not a golfer but I go every year with my husband and enjoy it. Wear comfortable walking shoes, a hat and plenty of sunscreen. Lotion is also available at the medical tent if you forget. Read the prohibited list before you go, but if you mess up they have lockers for rent. Have fun!
Seating was terrible, barely could see the green through the railings didn't matter what seat you were in. Wish I had the $500 back I spent on 2 tickets.! It says row 2 seats 1&2 but there was no assigned seating it was first come first serve.
The PGA tour is such a fan friendly outing. So many great activities for children. By far my favorite sporting event to bring my sons to. Thank you Travelers and we'll see you again next year!
I have gone to the Travelers for the last 5 years and it has always been a great time. My only wish is that a few more of the "Top" players attended, Jordan, Jason Day etc. I attended the US Open this year and would put this on a par with that! High compliments indeed. Also, it would be nice if there were more areas to get water, the US Open had some Hydration stations to fill bottles. I will be back next year!
Great course for viewing the players up close and personal
Two wonderful days at The Travelers Championship. Is there a better run sports event anywhere?, certainly not in the Golf world. Ninth consecutive year of attendance and well worth the 550 round-trip. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, players and The Travelers for such an outstanding mega-community event, and hope the charitable contributions matched the effort all made to stage a world-class event.
Great event! Wish there were a few more of the top players, but it was still a great time!
I took my brother and youngest daughter - we had a terrific time. There was a lot to do, not just watch golf. It is a great place to spend a day - highly recommended!
Everything was well organized and professionally planned. Road signage to the grounds was very good, the grounds, especially the course, were exceptionally cared for, and the volunteers were courteous, smiled and helpful. I had a great day and look forward to attending next year.
I took my mother who is in a wheelchair to see her favorite golfers that she watches on the golf channel whenever she is watching TV. I was concerned about getting around in the wheelchair and stray golf balls from the amateurs. However my fears were unfounded. People at the Pro-Am were extremely helpful. The pros and the amateurs were very accommodating and we felt very safe hanging out by the 10th hole tee. The weather was spectacular which made all the difference. We were there for four and half hours and it remains a gold memory for my mother. We hope to do it again next year and get up earlier so we can catch Bubba!
My husband and I have been going to the FINAL ROUND for the past 10 years or so. This year we decided to go to a practice round; as it allows you to get closer to the players and have the opportunity to take pix and get autographs. It wasn't until the night before did I know it was the CELEBRITY PRO AM. I saw the list of names and was even more excited about going. The whole day was a wonderful experience. Both the pros (for the most part) and the celebs (except a few ~ no names will be mentioned) we so gracious to the fans. Many stopped to sign autographs and have pix taken with the fans. My heart melted each time i saw a young child ask for an autograph and the pro/celeb bent down to their level to sign. This is something the young child will remember forever. Can't wait to go back again next year.
