If it wasn’t for the staff, this course……

I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend unless he has four hours to shoot nine holes. I understand being busy but it was crowded packed and overbooked. It took 30 minutes to play a hole half of the time in 20 minutes 25 minutes of it was sitting at the tea box. You could never get warmed up. You never can get into your groove. If it wasn’t for the staff in the beautiful course, it would be very, very hard to make a decision to go there with Green’s fee that they charge it is not worth it at all. I can’t express enough. The pace is the slowest I’ve ever dealt with on any course and I’ve played over 50 different courses in the state of CT alone and outside the state hundreds.

Don’t play 9

I played 9 holes (walking) and while the course played great, I was disappointed that we had to walk back a long way after the 9th hole. In most courses, the 9th hole ends back at the clubhouse but here it doesn’t.

The staff didn’t advise us about the long walk back to the car park either.

Golf at MCC

I enjoyed playing at MCC, they maintained course very well. I was paired with couple other members, they were friendly and we connected immediately. I enjoyed playing at MCC. My only critic will be if you are playing 9 holes, it will be difficult for one to turn around and walk or ride all the way back to starter.

Fun and well kept

A nice local course with a great clubhouse. The fairways and greens were in great shape for April. Challenging for a beginner, variety of different hole layouts kept things fun and interesting. Love playing the full 18 here. Like everywhere, tee times were stacked but pace of play was not much of an issue. Got paired with a member and had a great time. One of the nicer places to play in the Hartford area.

Still one of Connecticut’s underrated gems

I’ve played occasional rounds at Manchester Country Club for most of my golf life, and now that I’ve had the chance to see hundreds of other courses in other parts of the country and world. I am impressed at how well this fairly unassuming but steadfastly enjoyable course holds up. Between the relatively reasonable green fee and a unique design pedigree that includes Golden Age names like Bendelow, Emmet and Tillinghast, it hits all the marks for excellent public golf in New England. The par-3 18th is one of the best holes of its kind, with a green that rests right near the clubhouse.

Except the bathrooms

Easy getting a tee time, nice layout, moved right along, but one small single person bathroom in the clubhouse needs expansion.
