About this course
Round Hill Club, nestled in the storied landscape of Greenwich, CT, whispers tales of quiet excellence cultivated since its inception in the Roaring Twenties. The course, a classic parkland design sculpted amidst rolling hills and mature hardwoods, presents a strategic challenge that favors thoughtful play over sheer power. While not widely known as a championship venue, its subtle contours and meticulously maintained greens have tested generations of discerning golfers. Originally crafted by Walter Travis, the course features subtly undulating fairways and strategically placed bunkers that demand intelligent shot-making. Those who favor a controlled fade off the tee will find an advantage on several holes, navigating the doglegs that doglegs which are often guarded by water features. The greens, known for their subtle breaks, require a deft touch and local knowledge to master. Round Hill's appeal extends beyond the course itself. The club's membership, drawn largely from the surrounding community, cherishes its low-key atmosphere and commitment to tradition. A notable anecdote is the club's longstanding tradition of a spirited member-guest tournament, a highlight of the golfing calendar that fosters camaraderie and friendly competition. The club is also locally known for its clam bake.

Getting there
The journey to Round Hill Club begins seamlessly from either LaGuardia (LGA) or Newark (EWR), each roughly forty-five minutes to an hour from Greenwich depending on traffic patterns across the New York metropolitan area. For those arriving by private aviation, Westchester County Airport (HPN) in nearby White Plains offers the most direct approach, a mere twenty minutes from the club's gates. The final leg traces the gentle, tree-lined roads of Greenwich's Gold Coast, where the landscape shifts from suburban Connecticut into the quieter, more refined precincts of waterfront estates - a transition marked by the gradual appearance of stone walls, mature oaks, and glimpses of Long Island Sound that announce arrival at one of America's most storied private clubs.
