LOCAL SCENE
Fox Hopyard Golf Course has a decent Sunday Brunch, and it's open to the public even though it seems very few outside of members take advantage of the feast laid out for all attending |
We took Bruce's mother, brother and nephew there this morning and gorged out on cajun catfish, fresh roasted turkey with a cranberry marmalade sauce, made to order omelettes, pineapple upside-down cake and a host of other goodies 
[I'm only telling some of what I ate] and we walked away sated |
Membership can be pricey, though non-members can take advanatge of the dining facilities at prices not out of line for area eateries | Since I'm not a golfer, the member fees tend to be unimportant to me anyway |
I was also interested in seeing the shape of the complex, given that it comprises hundreds of acres of land within the 8 mile river watershed | How land in the watershed is used, developed or preserved will play a critical part in the town's future | Can't say as I've come to any conclusions on just a handful of visits, but the fact that the land is being used for open recreational activities rather than poorly planned subdivisions is a start |
Fox Hopyard Golf Course is just off Route 82 in between Salem 4 corners and Hadlyme hamlet in the township of East Haddam | ¶ 14:45
