The Robert Trent Jones Course is a player favorite with rolling hills on the front nine, varying dog-legs on the back, and 44 bunkers mixed in to challenge all player abilities. Its 18 breathtaking holes meander through acres of woodlands, wetlands, and grasslands. On the back-nine, water comes into play on seven of the nine holes and the undulating slope of the greens will challenge astute and novice players.
The Gary Player Course is sprinkled with deciduous trees and classic white pines. The routing of this course takes players through the apple orchards and offers ample elevation changes throughout the design. This course can be played from 4,667 to 6,600 yards and offers a stellar mix of par 3's that average over 210 yards from the tips. On holes 11 and 13 the guests will be treated to 360 degree view of southern Connecticut's picturesque landscape. This course rewards well positioned drives and accurate iron play with 34 bunkers protecting relatively small greens. Lyman Orchards Golf Club is the perfect golf venue with two unique designs and the rich history of the farm which dates from 1741.
