About this course

Pequot Golf Club sits in Stonington, Connecticut, along the state's southeastern shoreline near the Rhode Island border. Designed by Wendell Ross and opened in the 1960s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of coastal New England, where the landscape transitions between wooded upland and tidal lowlands. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and rock outcroppings typical of the region's glacial geology. Ross, a New England-based architect active in the mid-twentieth century, designed several courses throughout the region with an emphasis on working within existing topography rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. At Pequot, the layout moves through a mix of tree-lined corridors and more open areas, with strategic bunkering and green complexes that reflect the design sensibilities of the era. The course presents a traditional parkland character, where mature hardwoods frame fairways and create definition between holes. The club serves the Stonington community and surrounding area as a private facility. Its location in southeastern Connecticut places it within a region rich in golf history, not far from better-known courses along the Connecticut and Rhode Island coasts. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to its setting, with hole variety that comes from the natural movement of the land rather than manufactured features. Pequot represents the kind of solid, unpretentious design that characterizes many mid-century American clubs built to serve local membership rather than chase national recognition.

Getting there

The journey to Pequot Golf Club begins at T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island (PVD), roughly forty minutes to the southwest, or alternatively at Bradley International near Hartford (BDL), a ninety-minute drive inland. For those arriving by private aircraft, Groton-New London Airport (GON) sits just minutes away and offers discreet access to the Connecticut coast. The final approach winds through the quiet villages of southeastern Connecticut, where the landscape gradually shifts from suburban sprawl to the salt-tinged air and maritime character of Stonington, a picturesque harbor town where Pequot Golf Club commands its elevated perch overlooking the Atlantic. The club's arrival marks the culmination of a journey that trades the bustle of the Northeast Corridor for the unhurried elegance of New England's coastal edge.
