Middletown Country Club

The tee boxes were in horrendous shape. Should be a crime to charge that amount of money for such terrible conditions.

I doubt my group will be back anytime soon.

Nothing fancy but a challenging 18 holes with some par fours on the back nine that run more than four hundred yards. Certainly not a pushover.

Nice local course, friendly and accommodating staff, course was in good shape the day we played. If you are looking for a good golf experience for low cost, this is a good course. If you are looking for a great golf experience/conditions, then this would not be my first choice in the area.

I like playing here because it's affordable, usually in good condition, usually decently paced, and very close to my home.

Greens ruined the day. They had furry patches that made some putts near impossible .Fairways were decent and rough was good condition. I'll still play here but fix the greens

Overall, the course was in great condition. A lot of hills and the rough was pretty thick.

Played after 2 days of rain and the course really held up nicely. Greens were obviously soft and a bit slow, but I expect them to speed and harden up in the upcoming summer months.

Not a very long course, but hills and slopes seldom leave you with a flat lie. The greens are very deceiving, make you think about every 4 footer.

Negatives are that the bunkers are lightly sanded dirt holes and the par 3 tee boxes are all ripped up. Also, a bit pricey without the GolfNow deal

Overall, fun and challenging public course with a friendly staff

Don't play this course until they speed up their greens. I play this course 10 times a year and the last two times I've played here (yesterday and 10 days ago) their greens were the slowest I've seen here. Normally they are nice and fast but lately, I'd guess they were stimping at a 5.

Wouldn't pay full price to play here but a very good deal at the GolfNow discounted price. Course was in decent shape. Was lucky to get paired with a couple good players who gave me tips on how to improve. Will definitely play here again.

Horrible course condition fairway is dry and hard. The greens are so bad....

I have played this course numerous time as it is 10 mins. from my house. The course it on the expansive side for what it offers. The greens were not cut and pressed and this is disappointing as I was expecting nice fast greens. But overall it was OK because the the price I paid through Golfnow.com made it fair valued.

The course was not maintained very well. Tight and people were crawling all over the place.

I played Middletown for the second time and just knowing the course I played better.
Add 5-10 strokes onto your normal score due to difficulty.
I used a hot time Golfnow deal and got a great price, although the price at the course for a senior is very reasonable anyway.
The good:
Very welcoming and friendly staff including the golfshop, starter, rangers, refreshment stand, bartender, and cook.
Greens were in great shape. Very fast.
The not so good:
No sand in the bunkers. Was like hitting off concrete.
Many tee boxes were beat up.
Some barespots in fairways.
No even lies on the fairways.
Plays very long.
If you are above the hole it's very easy to 3 putt due to the slopes and speed. Very hard to read.
I missed the first 6 short putts 3-5 footers for par. There are no straight putts

All in all, had a great day and enjoyed the course and kept wondering how they played this course 100 years ago with the clubs and balls they had back then.

I enjoyed my first round at Middletown. The course conditions were pretty good for April. Greens are very challenging and in good shape. The staff are clearly prepping for the season; cart rules, roped off areas that are seeded, and using white spray paint around other areas that couldn't be played on. They care about the condition of the course. One concern was coming up 18 there were lots of young children yelling from the clubhouse and it was pretty distracting. Otherwise a good experience for a short but solid value course.

I like Middletown and have played it a few times over the past couple of years. It's relatively short from the whites but the rolling terrain, both on the fairways and greens, makes the course pretty challenging.

I was sorely disappointed in the course conditions when I played yesterday, even considering that we are still in the early stages of the season. GRAIN OF SALT: 1st time at the course. I know it is early in the year, but this is the 5th different course I have played already and this was easily the one in the worst shape. And it isn't even close. There were TONS of dead pan lies all over the course, especially around the greens. For the amount of snow we had this winter & the recent rain we have gotten, that simply shouldn't happen this time of year. No reason for the course to be baked out already. Same with the bunkers. It was like hitting off cement. Greens were up and down - some were in fantastic shape for this time of year, others needed a lot of work. I booked last minute as a Hot Deal on GolfNow so my round was very cheap, but no way their normal rate is justified based on what I saw. Also, I waited for several minutes in the pro shop upon arrival while the woman finished what was clearly a personal phone call before being checked in.

Otherwise, the elevation changes/blind shots that this course presents create a difficult yet course, and I really enjoyed the overall layout. Despite the conditions I was very pleased with my score; there are lots of holes that if you can hit the right shot shape, you can really go low. Nice mix of short/long par 4's. I would play from the back tees though if you are a longer hitter as the par 5's are almost too short otherwise. Pace of play was great; it was midday on a Monday, but I breezed through the course (playing alone) in 3.5 hours, never once had to wait or play through someone. I will reserve final judgment and play later on in the season when they have had a chance to improve the shape of the course. But based off of my round yesterday, there are other courses in the area I would choose that are around the same price point but in better shape.

We had to wait an hour due to frost but apart from that we had a good morning of golf. The course is in good shape for this time of year. The turf is v soft in some areas, but most of it was well marked and had free drop points. The greens were painfully fast and tricky. Id play here again no problem.

Course management here have no clue how to schedule players on a golf course. I arrived to find a fair amount of people on the practice green. I walked into the pro shop and paid and there was no mention of a delay. I hit a few balls, putted a bit and then went to check in with the started. He informed me that they were running 90 minutes behind due to frost.

Now I'm not a meteorologist but I'm guessing its pretty easy to assume early morning frost in early April. So why schedule 7am tee times and throw the whole schedule off. An e-mail, phone call, or mention of the delay would have been nice so that I didn't waste an hour of my day.

I asked for a refund and it was given.

Had a great day of golf here at Middletown CC. Course was in good condition considering the winter we had! Greens were challenging and ran true, can only imagine how they would be in the prime of the season! Had a group holding up about 6 foursomes in front of us which made for a five hour round but other then that had a good time here! Will be back.

This course was in fantastic condition. Some really aesthetically pleasing and challenging holes. Great course close to Philly. Highly recommend.

You will feel always welcome by friendly staff. To feel confident on the green, you should visit the course a half dozen times in consecutive weeks. It is a very smart course.
