Connecticut's golf landscape encompasses 143 named courses and country clubs distributed across 127 cities and 7 counties, according to data drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal government's official gazetteer of named places. Because each entry is sourced from this authoritative geographic database, every facility listed represents a formally recognized named location in the state.
The directory reflects the scope and limitations of federal geographic nomenclature records. GNIS catalogs named geographic features rather than active business operations, making the listing a partial and sometimes dated snapshot of Connecticut's golf infrastructure. Newly established courses or facilities that have undergone recent name changes may not yet appear in the federal database. Additionally, operational details such as public versus private status, pricing structures, and course layout specifics fall outside the scope of GNIS records and are not included in this geographic compilation.
Those seeking to locate a specific course by city or county can use this directory as a starting reference tool. However, verification of current information—including operating hours, rates, and tee-time availability—requires consultation with the individual course's own website or direct contact with the facility.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Connecticut directory
Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
