Golf in East Haddam

East Haddam is a Middlesex County town on the eastern bank of the Connecticut River, renowned for the Goodspeed Opera House—a Victorian steamboat landing that has become one of New England's most celebrated musical theater venues—and the Gillette Castle State Park on the Seven Sisters ridge above the river. Fox Hopyard Golf Club provides the East Haddam area with daily-fee golf named for the scenic Eightmile River valley, creating a community golf option in a landscape of extraordinary natural and historical richness. The combination of the Goodspeed Opera House—which has played a critical role in the revival of American musical theater—Gillette Castle State Park, and the scenic Connecticut River make East Haddam one of the richer heritage tourism destinations in central Connecticut.
