Courae is in excellent shape

First time playing manchester, Course layout has sonething for everyone, some holes are tree lined, others open. 3 of 4 par 3s feature significant elevation change, the other plays at 185 from the whites with water left and long. Par 4s run from 295 to 410 yds, w straight away, dog leg left & right, back to back par 5s on both 9s. Conditions were excellent - fairways, rough, bunkers all in good shape. Greens are small & firm with good speed. Pace of play was good @ 3:40 for 18. Recommended.

Course is in Great Condition

First time playing Manchester, it's a track I will play again. Course conditions were very good, fairways in great shape, rough was consistent and in good shape, greens were firm & had good speed. Course layout is interesting, 3 of 4 par 3s are short but have significant elevation change, par 4s have good variety, par 5s are back to back in both front & back 9s. Course is relatively short at ~ 6100 yds from whites, ~ 6300 from the blues. Played in 3:40 with a cart.

Fun and fair

We selected this course because Tillinghast had a hand in the design and we were not let down. The layout was fun and fair with some tricky shots like the approach into 14 and the second shot on 4 make for a great test. The greens were firm and fast with some subtle breaks and some fairways were rather wide allowing for forgiveness whole others made you put it where Tillinghast tells you to. I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in an enjoyable round of golf.

Playing Guidelines

First time playing the course in cooler weather conditions. We were not advised or aware of the course rules regarding jeans or levis and were not permitted to play without putting on rain pants which a couple of us did not have with us. For most public courses this is not an issue but apparently here it is. Very disappointing

Must play in the Hartford Area

For the time of year and the weather the course is in great shape. The greens are the fastest around. The course is a challenge from either the blue or the white tees (I have played both multiple times). Manchester CC will challenge your game on all levels, accuracy/length off the tee, irons and short game. It's a must play in the area.

Great Municipal course

This course is always in great condition considering how much play it gets. Played there 6 times in 2019 and course was always in good condition and pace of play was very acceptable.

Average at best

Saw that Manchester cc had a good rating , so while visiting family in town I decided to give it a shot. Although it was a Friday morning and a beautiful day, two hours and 25 minutes to play nine holes is a bit excessive. No rangers or staff on course to monitor play. Waited on every Tee and fairway shot beginning on the first hole. Ultimately decided to walk off the course after 10.

As for the course itself, Through the green wasn’t too bad. However, despite being told the greens are in as good a shape as they get, they were at best average. I will say that the staff did try to make accommodations for me, but because I booked through Golfnow and ultimately would not be playing in the area again, there was nothing they could do.

All in all, if you find the parking lot near empty, it’s a decent little track for the money. But if it looks at all busy, stay away.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Manchester Country Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Great semi private course

MCC might be the best value you’ve ever played .....course is challenging enough and interesting without being tricked-out..... always in terrific shape and well maintained.....some bunkers could use more sand.... staff and players are all friendly .....restaurant has really great food ..... prices for play and food are very reasonable.....our group of retirees plays there regularly and we always have a good time ....

Course in fabulous shape

Played this course countless times over the years and today was by far the greatest shape I’ve seen the course in. Hats off to the Super and his team. The capital improvements they’re been making have paid off. Will strongly consider joining next year. Keep up the good work!
