Wintonbury Hills Golf Course resides just a 15-minute drive from Hartford, but it feels worlds apart from any city. The meticulously landscaped course sprawls out across a secluded greenspace designed by golf course architect Pete Dye. It was his first ever attempt at a championship course in the region, and he hit it out of the park with this par-70, 6,711-yard design.

Equal parts challenging and leisurely, a round of golf at Wintonbury Hills should delight golfers of all ability levels. If you've never so much as swung a golf club, Wintonbury Hills' pros can get you acquainted at a private or group lesson, courtesy of its in-house golf academy. The pro shop should also have everything you need to get started if you're a golf newbie. So whether you've been hitting the links for years or aren't totally secure in your swing, you're welcome at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course.
