Manchester Country Club

Manchester Country Club, opened in 1917 and designed by Tom Bendelow and Devereux Emmet, is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in Connecticut. The 18-hole layout stretches 6,167 yards from the white tees, rated at 69.7. The course is a strong example of old New England design, meaning the natural character of the land has been preserved rather than reshaped. Challenges here rely on strategy and skill over raw power. Greens are generally small, contoured, and well protected, while strategically placed bunkers throughout the fairways demand concentration and local knowledge. Many holes offer alternate routes, giving players of different abilities a genuine chance to compete and score. It is the kind of layout that rewards course management and lets golfers of every level feel tested without being overwhelmed.
