Five exemplifies the quality of Tillinghast’s bunkering. And it’s a terrific short 3-par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/22/2020

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.
