Minnechaug Golf Course

I’m gonna keep this simple. Imagine the desert. Then imagine your lawn after a couple days in the sun with no rain. It’s burned obvisouly. Now think of that and the desert combined but as a golf course. Wouldn’t recommend. Wanted to play here because it was cheap. Looks like I’m not the cheap one. Maybe bring a watering can to help out the course.

Waited 25 min between tee shots. 4Some in front played so slow, three groups backed up. Ranger watched the whole thing on hole 5 and said nothing. Didn’t want to play a 4 hour nine hole round so asked him if they gave rain checks. His response was “youshould have asked them to play through”. Cool. So I should have done your job. Not the response I was looking for from a ranger that sat and did nothing as the FOURTH group closes in behind. Couldn’t get refund through them or Golfnow because of 24 hour cancel policy. I live local and played it prob 40 times last year, pre-COVID, when no one went. I don’t feel this was a good way to treat a regular and won’t be going back unfortunately.

Decent affordable course tee boxes and grass needs work but that’s probably due to the lack of rain and no irrigation system

Great course. Very well maintained I was expecting a so so course and was greeted with a fun beautifully laid out course. We be back time and time again. Also I live in Springfield Area so the fact I’m willing to drive over a hour for the course should tell ya something

Very nice course. Appreciate the layout very good course for a beginner. The last to holes are beautifully layed out. The amenities could be way better however the course itself very noice!

Challenging and accommodating. Perfect course to practice your game and relax.

My husband and I went to go play what we thought we be a quick round of 9. The course is in great condition and we were looking forward to our round. We are very experienced golfers so we are aware 9 hole public courses are for all degrees of golfer.

When we first teed off we were behind a group of 4 that were on the slower side. It wasn’t a big deal but the group behind us complained and an employee came out to handle the situation. The group of 4 let us play through where we came to find a group of another 4 ahead of them who were beyond rude. They could see that there were 3 groups backed up behind them and they would continue to take their time, taking multiple practice shots, acting like they had all day, just pretty much hacking it. They spent 30 minutes in just the middle of the fairway before getting to the green. We called the pro shop to let them know and they said they would take care of it. Once we caught up to this group, they still didn’t let us play through.

At this point we finished hole 3 and an hour since we teed off had gone by. It was easily going to be a 4 hour round. My husband and I decided to go in and call it quits after that. When we went into the pro shop to tell them that we wanted to come back another time for our round, they refused to compensate us or apologize. They told us they didn’t want to talk to that group about keeping pace.

We were pretty disappointed and will probably not return.

Course has some tough holes, some interesting decisions, and some holes you could score on.

This course has a few holes that may punish the average neighborhood hulk on drives, but it was worth playing in my opinion. It’s a solid choice for 9 holes if you need to go after or before work to de stress and enjoy the game you love for a cost effective price. I would not play this on a day I have off due to only having 9 holes.
