 The Farms Country Club is home to one of the finest courses in Connecticut. Once a dairy farm, our golf course provides both challenging play and pastoral views. Designed by Geoffrey Cornish in 1960, our par 72, 6810 championship course provides a tremendous experience for all levels of play. The Farms has hosted many local, regional and national tournaments such as the 1998 U.S. Open Regional Qualifier, and the 2009 U.S. Junior Amateur Regional Qualifier.
Today you can enjoy the rolling fairways, manicured greens and a professional staff that takes pride in our reputation for providing exceptional, personalized service for outings and tournaments of all sizes.

Appropriate attire shall be considered casual dress consistent with the social atmosphere of an upscale private country club such as; long pants, Bermuda shorts, skirts and dresses of acceptable length, and golf shirts with collars. Shirts and blouses are to be worn tucked in and hats may not be worn facing backwards, nor on the patio or inside the clubhouse. Inappropriate attire shall be considered as short shorts, dungarees, designer jeans, tank tops, undershirts, tee shirts, and bare tops.
Golf Carts
Golf carts are mandatory (for outings only). Golfers may not use a pull cart or carry their own golf clubs. Golf carts are to be driven with caution at all times. Please keep golf carts on paths, observe all directional lines, signs and ropes. Also, please keep golf carts at least thirty feet from any tee, green or bunker. All operators of golf carts must have a valid motor vehicle license. Golf carts are not permitted off Farms Country Club property at any time.
Course Care
Please repair ball marks, replace divots and rake all bunkers.
Lost Articles

Slow Play
Close attention to the speed of play is important. If there is an open hole in front of you, you are probably playing too slowly. Always keep pace with the group in front of you.
