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.

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.

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.

Good Value

I will play again next week.

Pace was great, played as a single with a cart.

Some burnt out areas just off fairways. Tee boxes need grass. Trap I was in needs work (3" of sand in one place and 1/2" in another - yes I did not make it out of the trap on my 1st shot). Staff was good. Restaurant was to hot to stay. Their reason was they just opened - seems to me they would have the A/C on early enough so it is a pleasant experience for customers when they are open for business.

I will return on a Golfnow Hot Deal as course is local and a good value.

Very convenient

I love this course because it's extremely convenient for getting in a short round of golf to practice your shots and putting. The course is maintained nicely and I was able to play at a very comfortable pace.

Challenge

Course is very challenging. Long Par 5s, Doglegs and water hazards. There's even an Island hole. We actually played a second round and I played 6 shots less. This was about the 7th time I play there this year. The challenged keep me coming back.

Good Beginner Course

Pretty good beginners course. Good mix of distances. Course needs a little work. Greens speed isn't to fast. But overall good place to practice

Nice challenging short coursed

I have play Minnechaug many times over the years. The layout is short, but challenging to your iron game. Greens were in great shape and the fairways were well kept.
