Middletown Country Club

Don't judge a book by it's cover. I 100% feel like I was judged by my tattooed skin and treated like I was a piece of garbage by the person in the pro shop at check in. I play a lot of golf courses in the area. I literally live down the street(200yds) from Middletown.
Over the years I've played MCC less because of quality. The quality of the course has been a 180. Minus the tee boxes which are in the process of improvement. The course is in great shape. Great changes the last few years. Greens are fantastic.
Ok, the rudeness I encountered today.
I go in to check in. No real greeting. Just kind of looked me over. I have visible tattoos on my arms. I am perfectly dressed for a round of golf. I kind of felt I was bothering him this morning. I state my name and tee time and that I'm the single. He says to me, you're riding with one of the three. I say, umm ok. Is there a reason why? I say, I don't know these guys. He snaps back at me, we always put foursomes in two carts. My response was, that's not true. He responded, well your riding together. I say, because i'm getting a little annoyed at this point from his tone, well if you're going to be like that I'd prefer to not play. His response was, well I'm charging your card for the round. I say why, he says, you made the tee time. I say, whatever, I'll take the key.
It's Sunday, midday, not many carts left. I know the drill. Pair up.
I'm fine with it. Funny thing, the 3some was a twosome. One guy didn't show. He said to them, I wish you would have told me. Next time I'll have to charge you.
TIP: use some tact next time. It's simple. Try, we are a little short on carts right now, would you mind pairing up for your round? And if there is resistance, I'm sorry, this is what we need to do right now we have a lot of people on the course.
If they still aren't happy, then you offer them a refund because you obviously don't have to charge their card. You were just choosing to charge mine.

The feeling in that shop today made me angry from not only his customer service. But I feel like he treated me like crap because I looked a certain way. Its 2023, figure it out.

Tee boxes are very bad! The rest of the course is in good shape and challenging. Staff are good.

Friendly employees from the moment we got there. The course was in excellent shape less the tee boxes which the starter acknowledged that the new superintendent hadn't gotten to fix up yet. All in all and enjoyable round and a nice lunch afterwards.

The course is not in great shape, the fairways are dry and is like hitting off concrete. Some tee boxes don’t have any grass and others have some grass. The greens are in good shape but slow, especially when hitting uphill and ball stops halfway. The hackers pub was not open afterwards so we had to go elsewhere for refreshments. I know it hasn’t rained in a while but don’t they have sprinklers. On the back nine we had to wait at least 5-10 minutes on tee box. Nice day but the course wasn’t.

Tee boxes are bare on most holes but the greens and fairways were in great shape.

Bunkers were like hitting out of a baseball infield. No bars were open and my tee time was 12:00

A lot of construction going on and wasn’t aware of that prior to my tee time.

Apparently the greens were recently aerated. The holes were mostly gone but the sand remained and caused some inconstancy with the speed of the greens. I would expect this issue to clear itself up soon enough. There were a couple of tee boxes that were a bit of a mess. I am not sure what happened here but this needs to be cleaned up.

Greens were horrendous and difficult to read
Fairways were nice
Rough was thick

I live almost next to this course. 20 years ago it was a thriving privately owned course with a great pool , restaurant, bars, etc. The township took over several years ago, now the restaurant and one bar and the pool are closed. The snack shack in the middle of the course and the golf club bar w/food hasn't been opened yet, There are no ball washers on most of the holes, and the ones that do have them either don't have towels attached or they are shreded. The first hole has no towel, how pitiful. I don't know how much longer we will play this course.

A lot of trees removed, much more open, greens and fairways is best condition in years

played this course several times over the past few years, it is in the worst shape it has ever been, for $67 would not recommend this to any one

The course is terrible shape .Greens ok but hard. No water on course the halfway house closed ridiculous they had outing and league interfere with play.course is worth $25 to play if that only going to get worse as summer comes.this course is there just to steal your money.overall better to hit balls at a driving range.

Played this course with buddies it was terrible condition and experience overall NO Water on course Halfway house closed why? Had a league and outing scheduled a 4 to interfere with us and other golfers on course.This Course is NOT an enjoyable time. Nothing good about it.
