About this course

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.

Getting there

The journey to The Stanwich Club begins at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, a favored gateway for private aviation just twenty minutes south, or via the larger commercial hub of LaGuardia, roughly forty-five minutes by car depending on traffic along I-95 and the Merritt Parkway. The final approach peels away from the coastal bustle of lower Fairfield County, climbing gently into Greenwich's wooded backcountry where stone walls and gated drives replace suburban density. As you turn onto North Street, the landscape opens into rolling pastoral terrain - a hushed, manicured enclave that feels worlds removed from Manhattan, though the skyline lies barely an hour behind you.
