Hunter Memorial Golf Course — Local services in Meriden

I had the first tee time out today by myself at 7 AM. The staff in the pro shop couldn't have been nicer. That said, there were two groups of men ready to tee off who couldn't have been more rude, insulting and condescending. The pro shop told me I should tee off ahead of them. ( I play 18 holes in under 2 1/2 hours. ) One "gentleman" informed me they always have the first tee time, and I could play behind them. Rather than argue, I told them I would skip the first hole. Never having played the course, they pointed me to a 'shortcut' to the second hole. It led me to the 10th. I turned around and backtracked. They laughed as I passed them. On the second hole I was greeted by another "polite regular" who told me he was waiting for his friends on the first tee. I was livid. I teed off and played the remaining front. A relaxing fun round of golf ---- I think not. I planned on playing 18 but quit. I play approximately 100 rounds of golf a year and have never experienced anything like this. Good luck Hunter. I hope you can survive on your 'regulars' because I doubt many good golfers will put up with this...

I played Hunter Memorial Golf Course today, and although the staff appeared friendly, my overall experience was profoundly disappointing and unacceptable. I witnessed blatant disrespect and overtly obscene language from members of one of the engineering leagues, including direct name-calling, all because they were delaying course play. Despite the course marshal instructing me to continue, three individuals from that league threatened me when I attempted to proceed. This form of intimidation and hostile behavior is absolutely intolerable and fundamentally undermines the spirit of the game. I chose to leave early to avoid further conflict. I will not be returning to this course under any circumstances and strongly warn minority players to exercise caution when considering Hunter Memorial. Such behavior must be addressed and not overlooked...

A group of us get together annually to play golf in memory of our friend. We generally choose a different course each year with two prerequisites.....the course is in good shape and they have a restaurant available for us after our round. Hunter Memorial Golf Course came through for us on both accounts!!! We enjoyed the food, service and hospitality that the restaurant had to offer. We found the course challenging, in excellent condition with the staff very helpful and accommodating ensuring us our great experience. THANK YOU for making our day a memorable...
