THE STANWICH CLUB
🇺🇸 Greenwich, CT, USA
Designed by Bill Gordon, David Gordon
Carved from the rolling hills of Greenwich, Stanwich embodies a New England golfing experience steeped in tradition. Its enduring appeal lies in the challenge it presents, rather than any overt, public fanfare.
Designed by David Gordon in the late 1960s, Stanwich presents a modern interpretation of parkland golf, demanding strategic play over brute force. Mature hardwoods frame generous fairways, while subtly contoured greens reward precise approach shots. The course is known for its challenging collection of par-3s, each requiring accuracy and thoughtful club selection to navigate the varying distances and green complexes.
While Stanwich hasn't hosted major championships, it is a highly-regarded test amongst its discerning membership. The club itself is known for its tight-knit community and unpretentious atmosphere. The grill room chatter often revolves around spirited matches and the pursuit of the perfect round, rather than the clamor of televised events.
Stanwich isn't chasing accolades, but rather cultivating a pure golf experience in a secluded corner of Connecticut. It's a place where tradition is honored and the camaraderie of the game thrives.
Reviews
Best I’ve played in CT. Greens are complex and quick. Rough is thicc. Right up there with Sleepy for best logos
Challenging greens and great views
Awesome course, club and logo. Very playable and easy few opening holes, greens have always been quick and true. Hoping for a full OCM redesign.
Drubbed Cornell for back to back Ivy Champs here. I remember going into a near panic on the putting green trying to hit downhill putts. Top 3 all time logo (Sleepy and MPCC are contenders).
In great shape and one of the best logo's in the game
Fully deserving of the #1 course in CT ranking. A great experience all around. A championship test with some of the toughest greens I’ve ever seen. Layout has a good mix of long and short holes and a few monster Par 5’s.
