@Camelliotbraun if you want to join us for The Shepherds Open this Friday at Keney please feel free to DM me. We have a couple of spots left
Iām up by Springfield, play out of the Orchards most but get a good amount in by the Ct/MA border there
I have a 12 man Ryder Cup event next weekend Sept 9-12 in Rhode Island - Newport area. 2 guys just bailed today so looking to fill 2 more spots. Let me know if anyone is interested. 18 Thursday afternoon at Green Valley, 36 Friday at MeadowBrook, 36 Saturday Newport National and 18 Sunday AM at Exeter.
Hello Connecticut refugees, after settling in to freshman at college for about 3 weeks Iām itching to play some golf again. Iām at Sacred Heart so if anybody has course recs in the fairfield trumbull area thatād be great. Besides the wheel across the street which I actually thought had a few good holes but Iād love to go explore some new places as well.
Orange isnāt too far away and Orange Hills Country Club is a good price for 18 holes.
Also, if anybody has recomendations for the best caddie scene that would be helpful there is Brooklawn and CC of Fairfield close but Iām not sure what the caddie policy is at either.
CC of Fairfield definitely has caddies, my coworkers caddie there on weekends. Also a big fan of Longshore.
You might be able to get discounts at Great River Golf Club which I believe is owned by SHU.
Big news for Yale today.

Hi all,
Any recommendations for clubs in the Fairfield/Westport/Wilton area? I know thereās a decent amount of them but I have a limited network of people in the area (Iām moving to CT next spring from San Francisco) so Iām not sure how Iād get a sponsor/letter of recommendation. Would also prefer something without an outrageous waitlist. Does anyone here know if there is a club that is taking new members that also might not need a sponsor or have an easier membership process? Iām a member of a club here that I plan on remaining a National member of that be able to offer me recommedation if you think that would be helpful. Any advice welcomed! Thanks.

hey shane, i live in fairfield but play out of new haven cc. we have a little waitlist and recently capped our junior membership as well. i do think brooklawn is accepting members. other places it really comes down to what you are comfortable with as an initiation cost, most this way are pretty high

Does anyone have recommendations for lessons in Fairfield County?
Sterling Farms GC in Stamford is a great spot for a lesson. I have gone a few times and have always left a lesson very satisfied.

Very sad news in my email this morningā¦
Fox Hopyard is becoming fully private this season.
Yeah sure, theyāve invested 1.5mil to upgrade the place and Iām happy for that, but my favorite course has now become inaccessible to me.
I donāt live close anymore (Iām 3000 miles away), but I grew up playing in those woods (before the course was built), then worked at the restaurant on the course in high school. Being able to come home to visit my parents as an adult and spend my days golfing the Fox was a wonderful full-circle reconnection. As a matter of fact, it got me to visit more often! 
I may sound like some kind of golfing wingnut, but I feel a very real and very deep connection to the place. I would sign up today if I could, but being on the other side of the country doesnāt make it feasible.
If anyone here is a member, and wouldnāt mind having an East Haddam native as a guest when I come to visit, feel free to reach out!

Tough to hear. Played there for the first time in years last summer for a scramble and it always brings back some great memories. Same boat as you so Iām not out there much anymore but was one of the go-tos when I was back east.
