Wampanoag Country Club

You are too, too, polite, Mr. Groom. My mother and grandparents lived on CEO Drive, yes, otherwise known as Hunter Drive. They called it CEO Drive because the array of CEOs were palpable: UBT, Presto, CBT, HNB, Pratt and Whitney, etc.; my grandfather was one of the. My mother used to say this when she was picked up by her future brother-​in-​law from East Hartford, who was in awe of just the front doors, never mind the driveways, lawns, etc: Trust me, George, behind these doors are a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches being eaten right now. You are polite in that the whole world knows that West Hartford, underscored by the cheapest of cheap Country Clubs (the town Country Club would have been SO AMAZING!) is OVER-​RATED, I had not been to Wampanoag in 20 years, went there with my neighbor over the Thanksgiving weekend, just this past in 2015, and I could NOT believe the menu. West Hartford is cheap yet overpriced, and this country club, SO OUTDATED WITH AN OVER-​PRICED YET CHEAP MENU UNDERSCORES THIS. (Old equipment, aura and backdrop was/​is GRAY, got a vibe of a higher priced ELKS Club or American Legion!). A self importance about nothing, my friend. Mr. Groom, book a do-​over out of town!

We attended a wedding reception/​ceremony at the country club recently. The location was nice and I wasn’t sure what to expect as their website was so «exclusive.»
I was surprised to find out that the function area isn’t much different than a community center or Elk’s lodge. It worked fine for the simple affair. There was an old-​fashioned locker room for the bride to get ready in.
It was not what you would have expected from a country club but if you are looking for a simple, cozy place to host a party in West Hartford, this is a good option.
