East Hartford Golf Club

Round costed $20 but almost called the town of east Hartford to ask for it back. Have played here for 3 years and will never go back. Yes I know it's a muni but the course is in such bad shape felt like playing in the backyard. The greens were shaggy and had weeds on them. Could not putt at all like a Flintstones cartoon where the ball moved 10 times on the way to the hole and witha healthy putter swing it still had a hard time getting to the hole! Sad sad sad! Like the title says! So long Long Hill! Goodbye! Thanks for the good times until you stopped being a golf course.

The course is a little worst for wear BUT it was only the 4 time my friend had played golf. I played winter rules if it landed on dirt I moved it to the closest grass in fairway otherwise played it where it laid. The pace of play let them take their time and hit extra shots as they felt they wanted to. There were lots of couples playing. Our pace of play was only slow because we let other twosomes play thru. We had a good time and will return. Not your Pristine 5-10 handicap golfers course. Fairways lacked but they were watering them trying to bring them back. You could always find grass to hit from Greens were a little bumpy. Again they do water them.

I was golfing with one other person, we usually go every week and try new courses. I was very displeased with the course conditions, the group before us was horrendous along with the group in front of them. The course was over booked, we were suppose to play 18 but instead we barely made it to 9 without wanting to give up on the course. Since it was so cheap we didn't care about the back 9. Overall terrible experience, needs big improvement.

Course is in very rough shape. Basically had to play lift and clean on more than a few holes due to fairways being mud. The rough/fairway/greens loooked like they hadn't been cut for a day or 2 and the rough is mostly crab grass. Should be the kind of place you pay $15 for the whole day with a cart. Not $30 for 18 as a "deal".

There were also water fountains (but not turned on) and no other water put out, no rakes for sand traps, no trash cans so beer cans are piled up around the hole signs, and the score card was printed on a piece of computer paper. Bathroom had bar napkins in lieu of paper towels.

Do yourself a favor and pay a little extra to go somewhere else until they get new management company and get it back under control.

Course can be long, bunkers need attention, no problems with tee time, good value

The fairways were beginning to revert to dirt in some areas. The sand traps were not in good condition. This course may become unplayable as the summer goes on.

Grass was long the greens were awful just needed some serious maintenance work on the course was very poor shape

The entire course is over run with large areas of thick CLOVER. Have you ever tried to hit from CLOVER !?!?!?
Also, makes finding your ball near impossible. Maybe the worst conditions I have ever experienced in 30+ years.

The traps are like hard pan. Never raked. The greens are not in good shape. The course needs attention.

The "flaming" special was a great price but the course was still too wet from recent rains. I wouldn't want to pay their full price even for dryer conditions. The greens were good however.

Very wet, bad drainage on course and lots of dead spots in fairway

I golfed this course all year last year, the pro shop staff left something to be desired we always seemed to be a bother. The waitresses in the Restaurant & bar area always seemed a little pre-occupied and concerned only with the big tipping customers, you could always tell who was who. The Kitchen staff was amazing the food was delicious,and the pizza just seemed to get better & better & prices were always fair. The kitchen staff was always eager to please & make your visit pleasurable. The menu seemed to improve over the past few years, quantity as well as quality I would have much rather dine there than golf. I returned there this weekend after waiting so patiently all year for the food & to my surprise I was told the prior kitchen staff was let go, and a entirely new staff was taken over, I gave it a shot, all they could really offer me was a hot dog and I honestly believe I was given a left over hot dog from last year it was dry on the outside and cold raw inside the bread was soggy and the girl working seemed like it matter to her nothing that I was disappointed, if that were last year I wold have been offered a new dog or something else or fully refunded!! Sad to say I won't be going back any time soon. I also wanted to mention the staff look dirty and the kitchen & bar area were filthy. Seems management has made a grave mistake in replacing your staff, I think they made the place promising.

Before you go remember (YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR) I will not return

tee times apparently mean nothing here. pace of play is not only horrible but there is no staff available to address the situation. the course is in horrible condition compared with the on line picture. easily the worst bunkers I have ever seen, they more resembled concrete traps that somehow managed to grow grass.....very disappointing. even at a substantial discount this course is worth passing on

Course was in poor shape from tee boxes to greens. Even at the price I would rather pay 10 to 15 dollars more elsewhere. Did not play here because of price but for location. I definitely would not recommend this course to anyone!!!!!

They had no carts available....Even though people paid thru your service for them.....The greens were OK....Rough was in dire need of cutting. Fairways were not great. Worth about 10.00

It's a shame. This course could be a nice course with a little effort. Just overall lack of attention. Fringe and rough around the greens are really bad.

This course is great for 90+ scoring players. It's wide enough for novice players but difficult enough for the advance players. Nice greens, the tee box needs help but overall, a nice place to play with the wife.

Course was in decent shape for this mid april round. Nice fair course, generous fairways greens were in ok shape...once general daily maintainence kicks in this course is challenging enough for all skill levels.

Greens were fast and in much better shape than expected for so early in the season, fairways good, tee boxes need some work. Staff friendly and helpful. Other players on course courteous. Will definitely go back.
