Pretty course

We played 9 holes and the course was in very good shape especially if you stay in the fairway! Moderate difficulty with beautiful natural changes encompassing water and woods. The course is well maintained. We will be back!

What a great course

This is a great place !!
The staff is very welcoming and offered me a first responders rate.
The bar staff filled my water bottle and iced it up before heading out to play in the 90’ heat. The layout is amazing and my clubs got a workout as I used a bit of everything in my bag. Big shoutout to the crew maintaining this place the greens and fairways were mint!!!
Thanks again looking forward to playing here soon.

Very nice course, but recommend some improvements

Food and beer selection are great when it is open :(. Would recommend taking down threatening “we will Sue you signs if your ball goes on someone’s property”. Warning signs are every ten feet in some spots, which makes one think you have a pretty good chance of being filmed and sued…..mind you the houses are well placed and not in the line of fire - we are talking about - don’t step over this line! I know of people that won’t play there because of the signs - has to be over 20 signs

Extreme Slow Play

Over the past five years, I’ve played Minnechaug about ten times or so. A few times the play was slow, but today took 2 hours and 50 minutes to play this short nine. Add another twenty minute wait to tee off after our slotted time, and we were frustrated further with the situation.

As detailed in my previous reviews, the layout is a good one and worth playing. Conditions have improved in some places markedly, especially on the third hole, since I played Minnechaug last year.

Great place at any price. Very inexpensive.

Excellent playing conditions. I would put the conditions as good or better than other golf courses in the area. Great value. Staff was awesome. Having a friendly ranger on the course helped the pace of play.

Excellent little 9 hole course.

Played here 10-15 times. Always a fun walk to get in a quick 9. Good beginners course for sure. I recently made a scheduling error on this app, and they were able to accommodate me, which I very much appreciate. Will be back soon.

not recommended

the worst pace of play you could imagine. 2.5 hour round if your lucky - more like 3 hour round…friendly reminder this is 9 holes. backups cause golfer frustration and creates tension between other golf groups. won’t be coming back
