Golf Digest's Top-Ranked Courses in Connecticut


The recipient of a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Rochester, Todd Goldring is a financial professional who has served as head of event driven sales at Citigroup since 2013. In addition to his professional pursuits, Todd Goldring is an avid golfer and member of the Fairview Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Every year, Golf Digest releases its list of the top-ranked courses in the United States, as well as the best courses in each individual state. Below are its top three courses in Connecticut:

1. The Stanwich Club - This course opened in 1964 after the Northwich Group purchased 270 acres of land from the Hekma estate and developed 186 acres for a golf course to be designed by William Gordon and his son, David. It's renowned for fast greens and the prevalence of streams and lakes. 

2. Country Club of Fairfield - Founded in 1914, this course opened in 1921 after being meticulously designed by Seth Raynor, who later designed prominent courses in Illinois and Florida. It has since hosted the Connecticut Open and the Met Open.

3. The Course at Yale - Voted as the top college golf course in country as well as No. 45 on the Top 100 Classical Golf Courses in America, the Yale Golf Course was designed by United States Golf Association (USGA) co-founder Charles Blair Macdonald in 1926. It has since served as the host site of the Nike Connecticut Open and two USGA Junior National events.
