About this course

Hunter Golf Club in Meriden, Connecticut, occupies rolling terrain in the central part of the state, a region characterized by wooded hills and moderate elevation changes typical of the Connecticut River Valley area. The course was designed by Orrin Smith, a regional architect active in New England during the early-to-mid twentieth century, and reflects the straightforward design principles common to courses built for daily-fee and municipal play in that era. The layout works with the natural contours of the land, incorporating mature tree-lined fairways and small, traditional greens. The routing moves through a mix of open and forested areas, with several holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into lower-lying sections of the property. Elevation changes create variety in shot selection and add visual interest throughout the round. The course serves as an accessible public facility in the Meriden area, providing golf to a broad cross-section of players in central Connecticut. Hunter Golf Club functions as a community course, hosting local leagues, junior programs, and casual weekend play. The clubhouse offers basic amenities typical of municipal and daily-fee operations in the region. The course remains a fixture in Meriden's recreational landscape, providing a traditional tree-lined layout within reach of both Hartford and New Haven.

Getting there

Hunter Golf Club lies in the wooded hills of central Connecticut, roughly equidistant between Hartford and New Haven - both cities served by Bradley International Airport (BDL) to the north, about forty minutes away. The drive south from Bradley traces the Connecticut River valley before turning inland toward Meriden, where suburban corridors give way to the rolling, forested terrain that has sheltered this intensely private enclave since 1921. There are no signs, no grand entrance - only a discreet turn onto a narrow lane that disappears into the trees, the first hint that you've arrived at one of New England's most guarded golfing sanctuaries.
