The tee shot at the 181-yard, par-3 sixth often flirts with the marshy stream to the right of the green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/09/2022

The opening drive at one. Avoid the road on the left; the screen on the right will ‘save’ low tee shots from OOB. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

The first green. It will test your pitching game should you miss left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

Hole two is the number one index. More than hinting at that is its small landing zone. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

We saw this skittish deer starting to cross fairway three. For some reason, it chose not to--and turned around. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

At five, a par-five, you’ll need two excellent shots to come even close to this green, pitched back to front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 07/11/2021

From behind six: small green to be hit with a mid-iron; a stream threatens slicers. Fabulous hole! Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/26/2020

Great time
Played this older style 9 hole course with some friends and ended up going another 9. The staff was friendly and the have excellent breakfast sandwiches too.
Minnechaug golf course
Had a great time playing here good place to tune up your golf game, narrow fairways, smaller greens make for more conservative play which I like. Will definitely be playing here again
Practice
Greens were surprisingly nice. It's a nice little course to warm up or practice.
My tee time was 10:04am the course open at noon because of rain I lost my money because of rain golf now can not get a answer maybe I called to late?
Great staff
staff was very helpful getting us out on the course. It was a beautiful day so there were lots of players. The guys in the pro shop couldn't be any nicer. I will be back
Course Needs Work
Green are the only part if the course that is acceptable. Tees, Fairways, Approach areas and Traps are horrible. Either need to properly maintain this course or sell valuable land and build homes.
Good 9 hole course. Narrow with some challenging holes.
Love playing this course
I love playing this course! When I want to get a short round of golf in, there’s not a better course to play, the length, layout and condition of the course, especially the greens, was absolutely perfect!
What Once Was
This was once an 18 hole course that delivered in all areas, especially fun. Since it has gone to 9 holes it has been a roller-coaster. Some days good, some days bad. The greens are furry most of the time and the delineation between rough and fairway hard to determine. I'm sure they do the best they can with what they have but it does suffer. Hole 1 remains unchanged but the netting down the right side is unattractive. The second hole has as many homes down the right but no netting. Why? Hole 4 makes no sense at all while #5 is pretty much a remaining stalwart from the original. The island green at 8 remains but is such a large target now from such a short range that the hole is really uninteresting which is pretty hard to do for an island green. The tees are very poor. Even for a quick 9 in the area there are better options.
Indian summer
Unusually warm weather. Course was in excellent shape. Pace of play was also very good.
Great short course
I always love playing this course, great layout, challenging and fun to play, the staff does a great job keeping the course in very nice shape.
Hot Deals in Golf Now
Tees and Fairways need work but twice a day on Golf Now, you can play 9 holes for as low as $10 with a cart. Play is always slow. Only use driver 2 or 3 times tops.
Bare ground
The third hole par 5 has a lot of hardpan ground with no grass in front of the green. The par 5 5th hole has the same thing to the right front. I suggest putting topsoil and seeding the area or sodding it.
