Rating 70.7

Hartford Golf Club is conveniently located just outside of Milwaukee. The course has been a part of the community since 1928 when a group of local businessmen who were passionate about golf decided to come together and make the course a reality. The layout is traditional in design and player friendly enough for beginners, but it still offers a few challenges. It's a short golf course by modern standards, measuring 6,519 yards from the back tees. Water isn't terribly prominent, but golfers should be prepared for back-to-back water hazards starting with the third hole. Hartford Golf Club's 12th hole is the longest on the course at 570 yards and this dogleg left is also one of the toughest. In addition to the golf course, there are also two full-length driving ranges and a three-hole practice course.

Just after some good rain

Course played very long today. Windy and just got 2-3 inches if rain. Fairways and greens just in awesome shape. Greens a rad slow to my liking but that was do to the rain. Not that tough of a course and very little elevation change. Good amount if slope on some greens and just the right amount of sand traps. Got in 18 holes in 3 hours (2 of us). Will be back to play.

Rough Fairways Make for Bumpy Ride

The very bumpy, often poorly cut, and at times wet fairways make the course play longer than it is listed. The first hole, which is around 400 yards and plays uphill, was so overwatered for the last 60 yards to the green that every step I took produced a splash. It made the hole play extremely long. The greens were o.k. The layout itself was also decent if not exciting. Pace of play was fair, but the real sore spot is the fairways.
The club house is modest, and I did not try the dining facility.

A day at Hartford Golf Course

The course was in excellent shape as we were the last players before a huge outing. Having played here before, I would say the course is always in good shape. The pace of play is normally a little on the slow side, but we still like to play there. So glad they finally added a lower and more flexible senior rate during the past year or so.

Great Course at a great price

This was my first time golfing this course in the summer, I usually golf it in the spring. the course was in excellent shape. The staff was very friendly. the greens are smooth, and the balls rolled true. the te boxes were in good shape and the fairways looked like green carpet.

great test for the average golfer

Greens are in incredible shape. I used every club. Par threes are very testing. No atttempt to trick up the course. Just a solid test of your game. Condition much improved since I last played there 3 years ago.

Slow greens

Booked a great deal to ride 18 holes for $18. My friends and I played the first 18 in 3 hours and played another 18 for $5 more thanks to the friendly people in the pro shop. Their electric carts have serious pickup. Course was in typical mid-season form - hard and dry in some areas with good fairways and greens that rolled fine. Greens were extremely slow and some of the pin positions were tucked into corners which forced you to play middle of the green on some shots, making it a bit more challenging and fun. Overall, great value for the round.

Awesome greens ... Not so awesome staff

We had a mid morning Saturday tee time and expected the course to play slow, so a 5 hour round wasn't anything unexpected. Walked in to check in and the guy behind the counter was on the phone with what appeared to be a buddy and was speaking golf lingo laced with f-bombs ... He continued to do this for about 3 minutes as he talked to the person on the phone whilst looking right at us. Checked us in and told us to go to the fist tee where there was no starter and some confusion on who was up next. The front nine played so slow that the cart/drink girl saw us FOUR times in 9 holes. We later found out that it had something to do with that she didn't know the course had a whole other set of 9 holes, thus not seeing her once on the back nine. There were 2 instances where she drove the cart right behind us while someone was in mid swing and yelled "HELLOOOOOO" and another time while one person in our group was about to putt ...she actually came up to the green while we we putting !!! Speaking of putting, the greens are some of the best I have ever played on in Wisconsin. They held approach shots, rolled true, and were extremely well kept. All the bunkers had A TON of rocks in them and it looked like they got the sand from the beach

We still had a good time and would come back in a pinch ... Just cant be good when the place offers a $20 raffle for a full years membership.

Relax at Hartford

Hartford has always been a course to fall back on when I just want to play a nice relaxing round. Fairways always in good condition, and greens have always been a challenge. Not overwhelmingly long, just long enough to challenge, with bunkers placed to make you think, instead of just ripping it toward the green. Have been there with big hitters, and have taken my wife, ( not a big hitter ) and all have enjoyed Hartford.

great local course with open daytime tee times

On this day we played between rain showers, 2 hours of rain before 3.25 hours of golf and then another downpour. Our twosome got our complete round in. Need to stay straight enough to stay out of the mature trees to give you a good 2nd shot. Have played this course multiple times before, is best when there is not a lot of rain. Was in good shape even with the 2 hour rain.

The course is maintained well, fairways are pretty forgiving, but the greens are small, hard to hit.
