Great shape!

Course looks great and is in fantastic shape. Pace of play on a weekday morning was good - slightly over 4 hours for 18 holes.

Greens were perfect

As always, course was in great shape and pace of play was good. Would have been nice to have a beverage/snack cart available or the food shack at the tenth open but understand staffing issues in these times.

Best Public Course in the Area

This course never disappoints. It is always in top condition no matter the season. Pace of play is usually spread out nicely. The layout is unlike any course around. Very close and convenient to many locations. My favorite course to play!

Short but Challenging

Course was not long but challenging. Only oddity was practice putting green was far quicker and had much larger breaks than the actual course causing confusion for first time players

Very well maintained

Greens were fast and smooth. Course was in great shape and $34 for a weekend afternoon walking 18 was a good value for such a nice course. My first time, but wish I had started coming here sooner!

Monday Golf @ Manchester

Nice weather day. Course was in great shape especially for time of year. Biggest drawback was it was a Monday and the restaurant and snack shack were closed along with no water on the course. I was glad I brought a couple of bottles with me.

good early season

first time out in ct this year. greens were in great shape, though still recovering from aeration and some sand. they were slow but expected for early season. bunkers were in good condition and fairways were ok as most all grasses were dormant. pro shop and starter were friendly and pace of play was good even through some holes had 3 groups on tee-box at same time, it really didnt impact overall pace since it was walking only,, the breather was welcome. snack bar was not open nor was there a beverage cart, but it is mid march in CT so no worries.
