Golf in Branford Center

Branford Center is the commercial and residential hub of Branford, a New Haven County shoreline community whose Thimble Islands, Indian Neck peninsula, and historic town green create a distinctive combination of coastal and inland character. Pine Orchard Yacht and Country Club and Twin Lakes Golf Course together serve the Branford community's recreational golf market, with the yacht and country club combination reflecting the dual water-land recreational culture characteristic of Connecticut's Long Island Sound communities. The Thimble Islands—a cluster of rocky outcroppings in Long Island Sound accessible by boat tour—give Branford a distinctive recreational and visual identity on the Connecticut shoreline, drawing visitors from across the state to experience the island landscape unique to this community.
