About this course

Simsbury Farms Golf Club is a municipal facility in Simsbury, Connecticut, designed by Geoffrey Cornish and opened in 1971. Cornish, a prolific New England architect who shaped dozens of courses across the region during the mid-20th century, created a layout that serves the public golf community in the Hartford suburbs. The course occupies rolling farmland in the Farmington River Valley, reflecting the agricultural heritage of this historic Connecticut town. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree lines that define many holes. Cornish's design philosophy typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic elements that reward thoughtful course management. At Simsbury Farms, this approach translates to a layout where positioning off the tee and accurate approach play matter more than sheer distance. The property's terrain provides variety in lies and shot requirements throughout the round. As a municipal course, Simsbury Farms serves both local residents and visitors seeking accessible public golf in the Farmington Valley. The facility operates within the town's parks and recreation system, maintaining the balance between affordability and course conditioning that defines many New England municipal operations. The setting retains a semi-rural character despite the proximity to greater Hartford, with views across open farmland and wooded corridors that recall the landscape Cornish encountered when he designed the course five decades ago.

Getting there

The journey to Simsbury Farms Golf Club begins at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, a straightforward twenty-minute drive northwest into the Farmington River Valley. The route traces Connecticut's Route 10 through the gentle roll of central Connecticut countryside, where colonial-era towns give way to the wooded hills and open farmland that define the Simsbury landscape. As the road climbs into town, the Metacomet Ridge rises to the east, and the final turn onto West Street reveals the municipal course spread across former tobacco fields - a quietly handsome New England setting that feels worlds removed from the airport runway left behind.
