Pro Shop: 203-792-2552

Built: 1972
Architect: Ed Ryder

Description: One of the area’s best maintained facilities, the greens and fairways here are kept like any quality private course. The front nine is built around the reservoir with many of the holes playing alongside it and some playing over it. The back nine offers numerous ponds and streams - and even quicksand on the 15th and 16th holes. The layout offers numerous doglegs, blind shots, and some very hilly holes with sloping fairways, making it tough to find a flat lie.

Water comes into play on 14 holes. The greens are mostly large and multi-tiered, normally aptly bunkered and not easy to approach. Club selection off the tee is always a vital decision. It’s a tough, but fair test for even the low-handicapper.
