The course is in great shape. I'm a member and would prefer people not come out to keep the place to myself but you're doing yourself a disservice to play at: Topstone, Blackledge, Tallwood, Rolling Meadows, Tunxis, Blue Fox, Tower Ridge, Lyman, and many other public courses in the central ct valley. They added irrigation and drainage to many parts of the course this year - the course improves every year. The greens have been consistently fast but rolling nicely, the tees and fairways are beautiful, and the rough can be very tough on days when it isn't cut. This course is very walkable (no 400 yard paths from green to tee), and offers a challenge to all levels of golfers. Greens are generally pretty large with some steep undulations (really flag dependent).

The only thing that needs some work are the bunkers. Some are beautiful and some are a little rocky/ hardpacked.

The staff is very friendly. Weekends there is a cart girl stationed at the 5/13 tee. 9th hole stand offers beer and food (cheese dogs are awesome if you like to eat while you play). Also there is a bar/ cafe with outdoor seating and great salads/ burgers/ beer in the clubhouse.

This place deserves more love.

Course is a good design. Beginners will struggle here as there are many demanding tee shots and it is easy to look foolish on the greens, which are contoured and very fast. Many of the green to tee walks are too far to make walking possible. This is a top 5 public course in the state and worth a few rounds a year.

Challenging day with a lot of interesting shots!

I'm a member here so maybe I'm biased but this course deserves a 2014 review. Place is in great shape, the greenskeeper really knows his stuff.

MCC is an old school walkable New England design with lots of elevation changes. Good greens that can be quick but never super fast, and have lots of contours. Fairways are wide, and the course can play short for long hitters but scoring is still tough.

Tallwood, Blackledge, topstone, Tunxis, Gillette ridge, twin hills, and the rest of the dumps in this area fall well short in comparison. Top 10 public course in the state no doubt.

Great course. 36$ to walk 18 (very easy course to walk), greens were perfect, very interesting design with lots of risk reward, elevation changes that feels like an old New England course. 1 hour drive for me from central CT but I would say it is top 3 public courses in the state and the best value.
