Nice layout but course conditions make it unbearable. Penalized for good shots that should be landing in manageable fairways. The $20 off coupon isn’t really worth it.

Staff in the shop were very friendly but the starter was incredibly rude when asking which way to which course. Seems like a question a starter is there to answer.

In pretty good shape. Pace of play was solid and staff were super friendly

I've been coming to Middletown for years, and certainly do not expect Augusta when playing. With that being said, I have never stepped foot on a course that is as poorly maintained as Middletown currently is. Tee boxes are unrecognizable, covered in weeds and sand and grass no where to be found. Greens have aeration marks and hundreds of unfixed divot marks. The fairways look like they were cut with a mower with a broken blade, as there are some spots of grass over 6 inches high in the center of fairways. I've never seen a course with multiple fairways roped off due due to the burrowing wasps. Some greens have sod laid that never took, is currently dried out looking like driving range mats, and has 2-3 inch gaps between pieces- this means you can land a ball on the green and be sitting between 2 pieces of sod that are both sitting about an inch higher than your ball. It's literally impossible to fairly score a round here.

It's a shame because this course does have some history and can be challenging when in nice condition, but it is beyond playable at this point.
