LYMAN ORCHARDS GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Middlefield, CT, USA
Designed by Gary Player

Lyman Orchards, nestled in the rolling hills of Middlefield, Connecticut, traces its golfing heritage back to the early 20th century, evolving from a humble nine-hole layout to a multifaceted golf destination known for its accessibility and community feel. The modern courses – the Player and the Jones – offer distinct experiences carved into the New England landscape.
The Player Course, a testament to contemporary design, presents a parkland-style challenge with forgiving fairways that belie its strategic complexities. Well-placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens reward thoughtful approaches and penalize those who err. While not demanding prodigious length, the course favors golfers who can shape shots and navigate doglegs with precision, making it a favorite among players of varying skill levels.
Lyman Orchards is a fixture of local golf, fostering a welcoming atmosphere that extends beyond the fairways. The club has hosted numerous regional amateur events and is known throughout the area for its commitment to junior golf programs. Beyond the golfing experience, Lyman Orchards maintains its deep roots in the community through its connection to the larger orchard, allowing guests to enjoy fresh, locally-grown produce alongside their rounds.
