Golf in Fenwick

Fenwick is the exclusive private borough at the mouth of the Connecticut River where the river meets Long Island Sound, a small residential enclave whose historic cottages, private beach, and Fenwick Golf Club have preserved a quiet, genteel character through more than a century of careful stewardship. The borough's famous association with Katharine Hepburn—whose family cottage was a beloved Fenwick institution—gives this extraordinary natural setting a cultural resonance that extends far beyond Connecticut. The Fenwick cottage community maintains its character through a private association governance model that has preserved the small-scale, unhurried atmosphere of a nineteenth-century resort enclave despite the surrounding development of the Old Saybrook shoreline community.
