Tashua Knolls Golf Club

About this course
Tashua Knolls Golf Club sits in Trumbull, Connecticut, a municipal facility designed by Al Zikorus and opened in the 1970s. Zikorus, a regional architect active in the Northeast during the mid-twentieth century, created a layout that serves the public golf market in Fairfield County. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southwestern Connecticut, with mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that add strategic interest to what is fundamentally an accessible design. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, requiring golfers to navigate uphill and downhill lies while managing doglegs and well-protected greens. Water features come into play on several holes, and the bunkering follows conventions typical of municipal courses from this era—functional rather than ornamental, positioned to challenge mid-handicap players without overwhelming beginners. The layout balances risk-reward opportunities with straightforward holes, making it suitable for a range of skill levels. As a municipal course, Tashua Knolls serves the local community and visiting golfers seeking an affordable option in a region where private clubs dominate the landscape. The facility operates with the practical focus common to public courses, emphasizing playability and pace of play. Its location in Trumbull places it within reach of both Bridgeport and the broader New York metropolitan area, contributing to steady play throughout the season. The course represents the kind of solid, unpretentious public golf that provides recreational access without the amenities or conditioning standards of higher-end facilities.

Getting there
Tashua Knolls Golf Club sits in the rolling uplands of southwestern Connecticut, accessible via Bridgeport-based Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Airport (BDR) or the more cosmopolitan hubs of LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark (EWR) - each roughly 45 minutes to an hour's drive north through the suburban Connecticut landscape. The approach winds through the quiet residential neighborhoods of Trumbull, a prosperous enclave nestled between the Gold Coast and the state's interior, where tree-lined streets and well-maintained estates signal arrival in one of the region's most established golfing communities. The final turn onto the club grounds reveals the understated elegance characteristic of Northeast private clubs - manicured fairways set against native woodland, a design philosophy that rewards precision over distance and speaks to the thoughtful restraint of classic American golf architecture.
