Middletown Country Club

The course was well maintained and the staff was very friendly all around. The course was quite challenging with some really tight fairways and overgrown trees. There were some water hazards that were placed in spots that made the par 4 feel more like a par 5. The pace of play was pretty slow, fortunately we were able to play through the people in front of us. Unfortunately, there was another slow group ahead of them. The greens were very slow, the fairways were plush, and the rough was consistent. I would come definitely come back.

Staff was great. Freddie, the starter, made sure we were well taken care of. The addition of the rough bunkers in the middle of the fairway on #11 and #17 adds to the difficulty and gives you a penalty for a good drive.

Took a chance to get golf in with an iffy weather forecast but it was on a hot deal. It started to deteriorate and picked up my drive on 15 and called it a day just in time as thunder and some lightning and rain hit as I got to the car. Played as a single and moved along front nine in a shade over an hour. Caught another single on 10 and we were behind a twosome that wasn't slow but impeded our pace. Overall course was in decent shape and compared to a couple other daily fee courses nearby just over the river in NJ it was better. Staff was friendly as usual.

Greens were in poor shape, otherwise course was great

I've played here many times. Everyone knows how hilly and tricky the fairways are. It's a real challenge for an average golfer. Greens can drive you crazy.

Played this course through a hot deal. Even though the heat index was pushing 100 degrees, the beauty of this course helped me forget about the heat. I thought it was funny when the sprinklers popped up on one of the holes we were playing on. It was refreshing. There was also a course ranger driving around offering free cold water. This was my second time playing this course and I will definitely be back.

Challenging course that was in poor condition. Large patches of dead grass and dirt. Cart paths are disconnected all over the place and in terrible shape. Has potential to be a decent course if it was taken care of.

It took a hour to play the first 2 holes.

5.5 hour round.

We played after a storm had rolled through the area so the course was pretty wet and muddy. The 18th hole was all torn up so there was basically no real cart path on that hole. But all in all the course played pretty well given the conditions. I was afraid the greens might be a little messed up from what I had heard from previously but they seemed to be in decent condition so no complaints there. I will play this course again.

Very good course friendly staff. Great place to have a good outing

The course is well maintained with a few rough patches depending on the week. The first nine holes include very few hazards, While the back nine consists of multiple holes with water and bunkers. Overall a consistently enjoyable course.

Historically, Middletown has been one of my favorite courses, but my experience today was extremely disappointing. Typically, if a course is having aeration on the greens GolfNow will make a note, but I did not receive anything and the green conditions were not great. It’s tough paying full price on Memorial Day weekend to play on aerated, sandy greens without notice.

Additionally, there were pins that were in spots they should just not have been on several holes, including 10 and 17 where even as a solid golfer I felt like those greens were not even close to accessible or score-able.

Finally, the gentleman in the pro shop scolded me for being “late” even though I was in the pro shop 15 minutes prior to our tee time. He also lectured me as our fourth had not arrived yet. We teed off on time and we’re ready to go, I understand it’s a Saturday and busy but lecturing me about being on time when I was probably isn’t the greatest way to show hospitality.

I love Middletown, hopefully this was an isolated poor experience but I definitely felt wronged and will hesitate playing here next time.

Overall, in my other experiences it has been a great track and a great experience. Seemed very uncharacteristic.

Hey Dan, didn't see you around today. Played my own mix of gold and white tees. Best drive of the day was dropping one down in the lower fairway on 13 less than 100 yards out from gold tees. Greens on front seemed OK but back nine was recently aerated. Notice the 13th doesn't have fairway cut all the way down the hill anymore and some tree removal has been done. Overall course looks good but wish more money could be put into it and more trees trimmed back or removed. Bunkers were not good. Like the makeshift cart path up the right side of 18 as not allowing carts on the hole.

I’ve played Middletown for many years. Do be deceived by the length. He maybe short but you better be accurate. Greens have improved dramatically over the years. Pretty good speed and undulation. If can get backed up pretty quick if they’re too many people on the course.

Overall good course for accuracy.

Pace of play was very good, greens were excellent, rough was long but I'm sure that was due to the rain this week, they were cutting rough today.This was a vastly improved experience from the last time I played. Dan the golf pro comped me the round based on my previous experience. He reached out to me, listened to my criticism and asked me to give them another chance on him. I'm glad I did and look forward to coming back soon.
