The Jones Course

Affectionately known as "The Jones Course," this breathtaking 18 hole course is among every golfer's favorites. Featuring rolling hills on the front nine and varying dog-legs on the back, the course meanders through acres of woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands.

Four sets of tees on each hole, coupled with 44 bunkers mixed-in, provide a unique challenge to players of all abilities. On the back-nine, water comes into play on seven holes and the undulating slope of the greens will challenge both astute and novice players.

In 1969 the golf course opened to rave reviews and continues to be one of the best courses in Connecticut.
