Wee Burn Country Club occupies a wooded property in Darien, Connecticut, where Devereux Emmet laid out the original course in 1923. Emmet, a prolific architect of the Golden Age who designed numerous courses across the Northeast, routed the holes over rolling terrain characteristic of Fairfield County. The course takes its name from a small stream that winds through the property and comes into play on several holes. Ron Forse, known for his restoration work on classic designs, later refined and updated the layout while respecting Emmet's original design principles. The routing moves through mature hardwood forests and features elevation changes that create natural amphitheater settings for several greens. Emmet's design philosophy emphasized strategic bunkering and green contours that reward thoughtful approach play rather than relying solely on length. The property's topography allows for a variety of hole types, with doglegs that follow the land's natural movement and approach shots that must account for both elevation and green slope. Wee Burn has served as a traditional private club in one of Connecticut's established communities, maintaining a membership drawn largely from the surrounding Fairfield County area. The club has hosted regional amateur competitions over the decades, typical of courses of its vintage and quality in the metropolitan New York region. The layout remains a representative example of Emmet's work during a period when he was actively shaping golf architecture in the Northeast.
