Tashua Knolls Golf Club

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.
