Getting there
The journey to the Country Club of Fairfield begins at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, a favored gateway for private aviation serving Connecticut's Gold Coast, or via commercial service through nearby New York hubs. From there, a straightforward thirty-minute drive north along I-95 or the Merritt Parkway delivers you into the leafy, residential enclave of Fairfield, where grand colonials and stone walls hint at the quiet wealth of lower Fairfield County. The final turn off the Post Road feels less like an arrival than a crossing of an invisible threshold - suddenly you are within the club's serene, meticulously kept grounds, a world apart from the suburban hum just beyond the gates.
