Golf Courses Near Greenwich, CT

Greenwich, located 33 miles from Midtown Manhattan at the southwestern boundary of Connecticut, is the largest town on the state’s Gold Coast. Since a couple of Greenwich zip codes boast some of the most expensive real estate in the U.S., it should not be surprising that no fewer than eight country clubs with golf courses list a Greenwich address. When you’re looking to make a tee time, Greenwich does have a muni, Griffith E. Harris Golf Course (“The Griff”), a parkland-style Robert Trent Jones, Sr. course with generous fairways but very tough approach shots into large, undulating greens. Various affluent communities nearby, both in Connecticut and across the state line in New York State, also feature vintage classic public courses. Stamford boasts two munis: E. Gaynor Brennan Golf Course, which has benefited from a recent renovation work; and the higher rated and more popular Sterling Farms Golf Course, one of the state’s premier public courses. Harrison Meadows Country Club in Harrison, NY may offer Hot Deals on its picturesque and updated layout that first opened in 1917. In White Plains, Maple Moor Golf Course, a 1927-vintage layout that was Westchester Country’s first public course, also recently completed a renovation project. Keep an eye out for Hot Deals at Saxon Woods in Scarsdale, NY, another recently upgraded layout that spreads out on wooded rolling terrain.
