Norfolk Country Club
Norfolk, CT · Founded
Norfolk Country Club is a private golf club in Norfolk, Connecticut, designed by A. W. Tillinghast in 1915. The club has 18 holes, a par of 72.
Tillinghast's work in the Litchfield Hills produced one of his most underrated designs, where mountain views frame nearly every hole and the routing follows natural ridgelines with surgical precision. At 1,200 feet above sea level, Norfolk plays differently than any other course in Connecticut.

About Norfolk Country Club
The elevation here changes everything—drives carry farther in the thin air, but approach shots into Tillinghast's characteristically deep bunkers require constant recalibration. What makes Norfolk special is how the architect preserved the site's wild character while creating strategic interest, particularly on the back nine where holes tumble down through ancient oak groves. The clubhouse sits like a ship's bridge above it all, offering views that stretch to three states on clear days.
