About Connecticut National Golf Club
Connecticut National sits in the rolling hills of northeast Connecticut, a few minutes from the Rhode Island line and about 10 minutes off I-395. It started as a nine-hole course for locals and changed through several owners and redesigns. The big one came in 2007, when the new owners brought in Mark Mungeam and every hole was reworked. Today it's a par 71 of 6,998 yards from the back tees, with five sets to pick from, and the club describes it as links-style golf mixed with New England parkland.
On The Tee magazine's review gets at how it plays: keep it in the fairway, because the fescue can get nasty and the bunkers are deep. The real test is the greens, with multiple tiers and big slopes, so a flat putt is rare. The 18th is a long downhill par 5 back to the clubhouse. The map survey counts about 70 bunkers, trees along 17 holes and water near six, including two carries. Course character from OpenStreetMap contributors' survey data.
It's across the state line, but the Rhode Island Golf Association brought its 91st Rhode Island Open here on August 1 and 2, 2023.
It's one of 129 courses Yoink watches in the New England area, and the closest alternative is Vineyard Valley Golf Club, about 9 miles away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.
