Rockledge Country Club-Starting Times

while I love this course unfortunately west hartford has decided to favor leagues over residents making it really difficult to go and play. really sad! :(

Rockledge is a very good public golf course, the price is inexpensive and the course is always in great shape. There are some challenging holes, especially the long par 5s on the back but the course can provide the opportunity to score well if you play the course right.
The greens are cared for well and even the sand traps are good.
I would recommend that you try to call ahead for tee times, but if you can’t, the staff are very friendly and helpful. They will pair you with a group and you on the course.
You can book online or call but if you book online, you can find specials and lower prices depending on the tee time that you are looking for.
This course will stay open well into the fall and will stay in great shape.
If you join the men’s club, there are some really great options for tournament play on the weekends and everyone is very friendly.
There are also options for working with a golf pro to work on your game.
And if you are just looking to hit a few balls for practice, there is a driving range and two different putting greens for practicing. Enjoy!

I’d be lying if I said that I would make the trip to play here if I lived more than 30 minutes away. I mean, the grounds are well kept, the on-​site restaurant, or 19^th hole, has some good food, and it’s relaxing to eat outside and have some beers and a cigar on that restaurant’s patio, overlooking the course after playing a round, but overall it’s by no means one of those courses I’d define as «you have to play here at least once, you owe it to yourself.» It’s just a good local, public Connecticut course, nothing more than that.

Relatively short course however it is kept in great condition. Very reasonable price and it’s even better if your a resident. There are a few very interesting holes which offer great risk/​reward for getting aggressive.
It is also open in the cold weather. I recommend giving it a shot if your in the area.

Yeah, it’s a really solid public golf course… you should expect no less from West Hartford. More or less impeccably kept, plenty of water jugs between holes, consistent greens, etc.
This is also a hard course. I have shot one of my better rounds here, but it was luck for sure. The 6^th hole is basically impossible not to double bogey if you’re a mid-90’s golfer like me, with a giant hill standing between you and any sight of the hole. The 7^th hole’s green is guarded by an almost unfair gigantic tree, and you can’t overshoot the green, lest your ball fall over a ledge. Only sharks will make that green in regulation.
So a few minor beefs with the course layout, but you’ll have a good time for a decent price… $ 37 for residents. The driving range is convenient, and the restaurant is quite nice, especially for a golf course. I’d even go there if I wasn’t playing golf.

Very convenient course to get to, right off of 84 in west Hartford. Course is always in great shape and has a fair amount of unique holes as opposed to just back and forth. As stated in the other reviews the douse does get pretty packed, weeknights during the summer especially. 2 putting greens and a driving range, range closes at 6 though. Also no beer on course! Was very disappointed by this. All in all a great round of golf however, just byob :)

Rockledge is one of my favorite courses in the area, you can’t beat the convenience factor and the course is usually in pretty good shape. Can be a little busy sometimes, but as long as you’re not there during the peak times it isn’t too bad. Looking forward to getting out there this year.
