Mohegan Sun Golf Club

Mohegan Sun Golf Club sits in the wooded countryside of Baltic, Connecticut, approximately ten miles north of the Mohegan Sun casino resort that shares its name. Designed by Geoffrey Cornish and opened in the late 1990s, the course was developed as part of the Mohegan Tribe's broader expansion of recreational amenities. Cornish, a prolific New England architect whose career spanned much of the twentieth century, brought his characteristic straightforward design approach to the property, working with the region's natural rolling terrain and mature tree cover. The layout moves through a mix of hardwood forests and open corridors, with elevation changes that are moderate but meaningful in the context of eastern Connecticut's gentle topography. Water features appear on several holes, and the routing takes advantage of natural contours to create variety in stance and approach angles. The course serves both resort guests and local members, functioning as a daily-fee facility that accommodates a range of skill levels while offering enough length and strategic interest to challenge accomplished players. Cornish's design philosophy emphasized playability and respect for the land, avoiding excessive earth-moving in favor of routing that follows existing grades. At Mohegan Sun, this results in a course that feels integrated into its wooded setting, with holes framed by native vegetation and fairways that bend naturally with the terrain. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that connects to the broader Mohegan Sun resort amenities.
