Golf in Canaan

Canaan is a small Litchfield County town in the northwestern Connecticut corner near the Massachusetts border, part of the Falls Village area where the Housatonic River's descent through the limestone gorge at Falls Village creates one of Connecticut's most dramatic natural features. Canaan Country Club provides the community with nine-hole private golf appropriate to the understated, quietly affluent character of the Litchfield Hills communities whose arts colony and weekend retreat traditions have attracted creative professionals for generations. The Music Mountain chamber music festival at Falls Village, operating since 1930, adds a cultural dimension to the northwestern Connecticut communities that complements the landscape's natural character in attracting an unusually cultured seasonal and permanent population.
