Tucked on the outskirts of Hartford lies a semi private Washington County gem. Public can play the 6529 yard course anytime except Thursday afternoons. Since being built in 1928, the course has been host to the WSGA Amateur Qualifier and a State Match play Championship.
Bill Rabuck, Director of golf explains the signature hole, number 12. "The 570 yard hole is long. You need three quality shots to hit the green. For most golfers, it is all they can handle."
From the tee, big hitters can cut the dog leg left. Gamblers will need to hit it high to avoid the tall trees. Do not try to sneak it under as the old farmstead rock wall will ricochet balls out of bounds. Your approach shot will need to climb to an oval elevated green protected by two bunkers, one on each side.
"A par on twelve is a great score," concluded Rabuck.
The 17th hole is one of the more unusual par-3's in the state. The short par-3 has a wall of two maple trees guarding the front of the green. With leaves on the trees the green is an oasis in the desert. A well struck short iron should climb over the branches.
