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.

great test for the average golfer

Greens are in incredible shape. I used every club. Par threes are very testing. No atttempt to trick up the course. Just a solid test of your game. Condition much improved since I last played there 3 years ago.

Slow greens

Booked a great deal to ride 18 holes for $18. My friends and I played the first 18 in 3 hours and played another 18 for $5 more thanks to the friendly people in the pro shop. Their electric carts have serious pickup. Course was in typical mid-season form - hard and dry in some areas with good fairways and greens that rolled fine. Greens were extremely slow and some of the pin positions were tucked into corners which forced you to play middle of the green on some shots, making it a bit more challenging and fun. Overall, great value for the round.

Awesome greens ... Not so awesome staff

We had a mid morning Saturday tee time and expected the course to play slow, so a 5 hour round wasn't anything unexpected. Walked in to check in and the guy behind the counter was on the phone with what appeared to be a buddy and was speaking golf lingo laced with f-bombs ... He continued to do this for about 3 minutes as he talked to the person on the phone whilst looking right at us. Checked us in and told us to go to the fist tee where there was no starter and some confusion on who was up next. The front nine played so slow that the cart/drink girl saw us FOUR times in 9 holes. We later found out that it had something to do with that she didn't know the course had a whole other set of 9 holes, thus not seeing her once on the back nine. There were 2 instances where she drove the cart right behind us while someone was in mid swing and yelled "HELLOOOOOO" and another time while one person in our group was about to putt ...she actually came up to the green while we we putting !!! Speaking of putting, the greens are some of the best I have ever played on in Wisconsin. They held approach shots, rolled true, and were extremely well kept. All the bunkers had A TON of rocks in them and it looked like they got the sand from the beach

We still had a good time and would come back in a pinch ... Just cant be good when the place offers a $20 raffle for a full years membership.

Relax at Hartford

Hartford has always been a course to fall back on when I just want to play a nice relaxing round. Fairways always in good condition, and greens have always been a challenge. Not overwhelmingly long, just long enough to challenge, with bunkers placed to make you think, instead of just ripping it toward the green. Have been there with big hitters, and have taken my wife, ( not a big hitter ) and all have enjoyed Hartford.

Nice fairways, small greens.

The course is maintained well, fairways are pretty forgiving, but the greens are small, hard to hit.

This course was awesome and a great value for the money. The greens were in excellent shape and no backing up or waiting. I would book this course many times more. The staff was very friendly and welcomed us to their course.

It was only 30 bucks for a reason
not in very good condition
low lying area and alot of rain most likely contributed to these conditions

This course is an excellent value for the golfing $.

The course is a good mix of varying challenges. Greens are in top condition. Because of the lay of the land and recent weather, front nine was considerably squishy while back was in very good condition. My only critique would be that it seemed that there could have been a few things done to avoid some of the squishiness on the front nine. Some of it seemed to be an engineering or maintenance issue. All in all, a very good golf course that I would return to at any time.

great local course with open daytime tee times

On this day we played between rain showers, 2 hours of rain before 3.25 hours of golf and then another downpour. Our twosome got our complete round in. Need to stay straight enough to stay out of the mature trees to give you a good 2nd shot. Have played this course multiple times before, is best when there is not a lot of rain. Was in good shape even with the 2 hour rain.

guarded greens

Had a junior membership here about 13 years ago which got me on the course probably 20 times a summer. Open fairways with shorter rough makes for some great approach shots, but be careful there are perfectly placed bunkers around the green on every hole. Focus on your iron and sand shots and posting a good score shouldn't be a problem.

This course has better potential.

Due to recent weather conditions, the course was in pretty rough shape but the greens were pretty good. Fairways were spotted with dead patches which need attention. Requested to start the round on the back due to amount of foursomes waiting at the first tee, which they granted. Pace of play was pretty good until making the turn for the second nine. Joined a single as two foursomes ahead were slowing up play. Recommendation: require carts on weekends and add a course ranger ~ slow play in part due to walking foursomes?
