Course Details

A highly competitive course

It is with great excitement and anticipation that we welcome you to The Torrington Country Club. Our 1929 Orrin Smith designed, 6,700 yard Par 72 golf course has been recognized as one of the finest in the state of Connecticut. We have hosted the CT open, CT State Men’s and Women’s Amateur Championships’, New England woman’s Championship as well as many Qualifiers, USGA and State.

Regardless of your level of play you will find the course challenging yet playable at the same time. There are four sets of the tees from which to play from allowing for a maximum of shot variations. As you have read above, our championship tees provide a highly competitive course, however because of our comfortable forward tees the course welcomes novice players as well.

The Club is located in Connecticut’s Northwest Hills that provides a picturesque rural country setting. The course is highly regarded in terms of the quality and playability by the Connecticut State Golf Association and by the golf professionals in the State.

Designed by Orrin Smith

The Torrington Country Club was designed by Orrin Smith, the New Britain golf architect and contractor. Orrin Smith made a name for himself as construction superintendent to Willie Park Jr. Smith then became a regular field supervisor on a number of prominent Donald Ross-designed projects. Golf Magazine considers The Torrington Country Club to be one of Orrin Smith’s best course designs.

The Club was established in 1929 and has become the premiere 18-hole private golf course in Northwestern Connecticut. The Club is known for its traditional design, true-rolling greens, demanding shot accuracy and fairways that require thoughtful shot preparation.

The golf course is one of the most challenging in the State because of the uneven lies and elevated greens that are extremely quick with undulating surfaces. The course requires a player to play with course management in mind and to think one’s way around placing shots in the proper location.
