East Hartford at East Hartford Golf Club

East Hartford Golf Club is a municipal facility in East Hartford, Connecticut, designed by Devereux Emmet and later modified by Al Zikorus. Emmet, a prominent architect of the early twentieth century known for courses throughout the Northeast, established the original routing. Zikorus, a Connecticut-based designer active in the mid-twentieth century, contributed updates that adapted the layout to evolving maintenance practices and playing standards.

The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Connecticut River Valley, with moderate elevation changes and mature tree-lined fairways. The property features a mix of open and wooded holes, requiring players to manage both distance control and accuracy off the tee. Several holes incorporate natural drainage corridors and modest water features that come into play on approach shots.

As a municipal course serving the Greater Hartford area, East Hartford provides accessible public golf in a region with limited daily-fee options. The layout offers a straightforward test suitable for a range of skill levels, with traditional green complexes and strategic bunkering that reflects Emmet's classical design principles. The course maintains a neighborhood character, bordered by residential areas and local roads.

The facility operates as a community resource, hosting league play and local tournaments throughout the season. Its location just across the Connecticut River from Hartford makes it a convenient option for players in the state capital and surrounding towns.
