Course at Lake of Isles
About this course
Lake of Isles' South Course, carved from the rolling hills of southeastern Connecticut, is a modern testament to risk-reward golf, challenging players with demanding carries and contoured greens. The Rees Jones design, opened in 2005, prioritizes length and power off the tee, rewarding those who can strategically navigate its expansive bunkers and water hazards. Expect generous fairways that narrow dramatically as you approach the greens, forcing golfers to decide between aggression and tactical positioning. Though not a mainstay on the professional circuit, Lake of Isles plays host to numerous high-level regional and state amateur events. The club is also known for its strong member tournaments, fostering a competitive yet welcoming atmosphere. Members enjoy a robust social calendar and lively camaraderie on and off the course, with post-round gatherings at the clubhouse a frequent occurrence. One unique aspect of Lake of Isles is its distinct setting within the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. This heritage adds a layer of cultural significance to the playing experience, grounding the course in the rich history of the region. The clubhouse, a hub of activity, has become known regionally for its exceptional seafood offerings, drawing both golfers and local diners seeking a taste of New England's coastal bounty.

Getting there
The journey to the Course at Lake of Isles begins at T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island, roughly forty minutes to the northwest, or Bradley International in Hartford for those approaching from inland New England. The drive southeast from Providence traces a quiet transition from urban corridor to the rolling, forested backcountry of southeastern Connecticut, where stone walls and colonial farmsteads give way to the secluded, 600-acre sanctuary that Rees Jones carved from the wilderness. As you turn off Route 2 and wind deeper into North Stonington, the sense of arrival is unmistakable - this is golf as retreat, a hidden enclave where three distinct courses unfold across dramatic elevation and around the shimmering namesake lakes.
