Derryfield Country Club

Overcrowded course that’s not in good condition. They are putting a lot of money in to the course to improve it but until they re-​do the layout it’s a mess that’s not worth your time. You’re better off staying at bar and having a drink then going out and playing golf here.

We arrived in the place was packed. We were able to get some snacks and a couple of drinks. Our waitress was very kind to us.

Derryfield is a good course in the middle of a busy city. The rates are reasonable and the wait is usually ok. Another commenter mentioned the youth here; I am a fan of kids playing, but not when they don’t understand etiquette and manners. It’s currently undergoing some major work so there were only 9 holes open this past weekend, but it’s still fun to play here. The hills make it a tough course for beginners, which can be good for the player to step up their game! Sunday afternoons and after work during the week are GREAT times to play here.

Derryfield Country Club is much more than a great golf course. My association just sponsored a code update seminar which Derryfield hosted in their conference room, what an outstanding experience! We had 150 members attend over a two day period and Derryfield’s staff handled lunch, coffee, and tons of other details that all exceeded our expectations. The room was clean modern (and perfect) and the staff was outstanding! Caroline is amazing, attentive, and fantastic to work with, all the staffers are hard working and had smiles on their faces all day. Several of our members complimented us on the event and we really feel great about our decision to work with Derryfield. It is easy to look good when you have a great room and work with such a professional staff. Thank you Derryfield, and special thanks to Caroline and Kelly you are the best!

Fab bands on the deck! Superb food! Great prices! Attentive staff! I love this place!

this place is awful. The food is dreadful and the service stinks. Dont waste your time or money. So many better places to go in Manchester. The manager Mike is a boob

Forget the Golf– Come inside! Its sooo much fun on a Fri or Sat night!
Live bands are always great, food is good and the people there are very nice :)
Its a great hangout if you want to avoid the over the top 20 somethings and just have fun…
And the drinks are really good too lol

The Derryfield probably has the best 19^th hole in golf around here. I just wish holes 1 – 18 were as good. The best part of this golf course is the convenience to those that live in the Manchester area. This, of course, has its pros and cons. You can generally walk on with a moderate wait. In the summertime, it is generally overrun with kids… parents dropping them off for the day. Buying a junior season pass is probably cheaper than summer camp these days.
The course has gone through some periods of questionable maintenance… at one point the drainage was absolutely horrible, though it appears to have improved somewhat. Probably the biggest downside of Derryfield is the fact they built most of it on a giant hill. There are some stretches where you walk up and down for 3 or 4 holes in a row. I don’t mind a couple holes with hills, but at least half the holes at this course introduce some type of hill into it… makes for an interesting round.
But, for something local, it’s not bad, and not overly expensive. You are rewarded afterwards by the impressive deck which overlooks the first and sixth hills, I mean holes. They’ve really made this into a gem, and is generally a very popular nightlife destination, especially in the summertime.

Brunch on the weekends is pretty good. Brunch on the weekends sitting on the deck in the summer is amazing.

I got to play here the other day and it was just great! My game wasn’t great, but the course was in decent shape and I had a good time. And really, isn’t that what it’s all about? NO! NO it is not! I couldn’t get a par to save my life!!!

Breathe… remember to breathe…

SO I got to play here the other day, and it’s November so the guy at the pro shop said «$ 23, and you can play as many holes as you’d like». I liked that. I liked that a lot. I thought that was great — I’m glad places do this to get people out there playing.
-
I’ve never played here before but I had heard it was «hilly». And WOW is it ever! Probably the most-​hilly (hilliest? hilled?) course I’ve ever played. It reminded me of Mt Hood in MA.
-
The course has an odd design; there is a very busy road that drives right through the course! Holes 7 – 11 are on one side of the road, while all the others, and the pro shop, are on the other. I don’t like busy roads near my golf courses, I don’t like the roar of traffic right by my tee. But, well, it’s unavoidable!
-
Anyhow — first tee is downhill, the next couple holes were flat but VERY WET. And it hadn’t rained in days. But it was quite like playing through a marsh in some areas. Other courses would have sectioned off areas I found on holes 2 – 3 as unplayable. But — whatever. 4^th Hole is straight up a hill. Anyhow you get the idea; If you are walking, as I did, you will get a nice workout! I don’t mind hilly courses on cold days. It helps keep you warm. Check out the hawks flying around! Crazy!
-
Aside from the drainage problems I found on those two holes, the rest of the course was in great shape. The first several holes are behind the clubhouse, almost in a valley, then you work your way back up and across the street. It’s a challenging course, for sure. I thought it was in fine shape — good greens, fairway was in nice shape.
-
There’s something here I’ve never seen before in all my years of golfing: At a couple of the very hilly holes — since you can’t see who’s up/​down on the green (it’s that steep, kids) they have these giant steel bells/​gongs that you ring to let the people behind you know you’re off the green or out of their reach. I’ve never come across that before! Very odd! But it works. I just wish they had told us that before we started out — I had no idea what they were.
-
I have heard the bar and restaurant here are really popular — and I do hope to make it back here again soon to check it out. It’s November now — so I might make it out once again if I’m lucky. I just may make my last round of 2010 here!

There are so few, if only a couple, of outdoor restaurants in the City; so I was happy to know this place existed.
My husband and I have been here a couple times during the summer, to take advantage of their outside deck; which is really lovely. It overlooks the public golf course, and has a big covered bar also; which attracts a crowd of all ages.
I know they have music as well, just not sure what days.
I’m not all that familiar with their menu, as we’ve only been there for lunch.
What impressed me the most was last year’s Thanksgiving dinner. My husband and I decided to go out for dinner, since we weren’t going to have family, we didn’t want to cook for just the two of us.
So we made reservations for a prepped dinner for two.
IT WAS AWESOME !!!
Literally, the BEST turkey I have ever had. It was soooooooooo moist, and just delicious.
Everything was really hot, which also is a huge plus, because that is rare.
They had unbelievable mashed potatoes and all the basic Thanksgiving fixings, and it was awesome!
I will def. want to go back for Thanksgiving dinner. Service was also excellent.
