Hartford Golf Club
About
Hartford Golf Club is conveniently located just outside of Milwaukee. The course has been a part of the community since 1928 when a group of local businessmen who were passionate about golf decided to come together and make the course a reality. The layout is traditional in design and player friendly enough for beginners, but it still offers a few challenges. It's a short golf course by modern standards, measuring 6,519 yards from the back tees. Water isn't terribly prominent, but golfers should be prepared for back-to-back water hazards starting with the third hole. Hartford Golf Club's 12th hole is the longest on the course at 570 yards and this dogleg left is also one of the toughest. In addition to the golf course, there are also two full-length driving ranges and a three-hole practice course.

Good Deal
Course was in good shape for this time of year and considering the amount of rain in the last few weeks. Course was not crowded and pace of play was excellent. Played with 2 beginners and did not feel rushed. Course is open enough to allow 18+handicaps to make mistakes and still find their ball. Will play this course again at this price.
First Time Pleased
Have never played the course before. Found it to be in good condition. Greens held and rolled well. Rough was challenging, fairly deep. Length was perfect from white tees for senior golfers who don't want to play forward tees. Looking forward to returning and playing there again.
Hartford
Good value for what we paid. Course was in real nice shape. Greens were very good. Bar is dingy looking with horrendous lighting. Makes everyone look jaundice. I will play there again
Pace
It’s not the fault of the golf course but on the front nine we were behind two ladies and two gentlemen. 3 of the 4 should not have been on anything other than maybe a pitch and putt course. Probably took at least a dozen shots on every hole so we waited on every hole. Thankfully they only played 9 holes. Back nine went well.
Foursome in front of me refused to let me play through
Greens in good shape
Hartford is a semi private course with moderate play. Greens are in good shape and consistent throughout. Pace of play is very good, I would recommend if you haven't tried it. Easy walking course.
Blame the weather
The first four holes were almost unplayable because of wetness. My feet were partially submerged standing on the tee box at #1. Shots into the green were 100% plugged. Trees that had been cut down were not yet cleaned up. All of these issues are weather related and can't be held against the club. We need some sunshine and warmth!
Poor Pace of Play
This course desperately needs a ranger! There was a group of 10-12 players who teed off before my group. Pace of play was going well til the back 9. During the last 4 holes, the twosome in front of us merged into 6 players and ultimately 10 players. Yes-10 players. We had to wait for 10 players to tee off, find their balls, hit multiple approach shots each, and putt out for the course of the last 3 holes. How is this ever appropriate?
