Jason Harack/Jenna Hecker
Golfweek just listed the best golf courses for each state in the U.S. for 2024.
And if you want to play right here in Connecticut, you have two options here in New London county alone as well as eight other options.
The pre-requisites to be included on this list is as follows: the course must be publicly accessible in some fashion, whether through standard daily green fees or staying at a resort or a hotel.
The second pre-requisite is that there be no membership required to play on the course, with the exception being if the course also allows for hotel guests to play as well.
Now, let’s see which courses made it onto the list.
Keney Park Golf Course, Hartford
The number one spot for top golf courses in Connecticut, according to Golfweek, is the Keney Park Golf Course in Hartford.
Keney Park Golf Course ‘s first nine holes were designed by Devereux Emmet and built in 1927. The second nine was added in 1931 and was designed by City of Hartford engineer Robert ”Jack” Ross.
Keney Park has played host to the Connecticut PGA Championship, Hartford Women’s Open, and the National Boy’s and Girl’s Junior PGA Championships.
