Golf in Guilford

Guilford is a New Haven County shoreline community east of New Haven known for its extraordinary colonial architecture—the town green is one of New England's finest—and for the Whitfield House, the oldest stone house in New England. Guilford Lakes Golf Course provides the community with nine-hole recreational golf in a compact format appropriate to a town whose recreational identity includes coastal access, the Bishops Orchards farm market, and the natural amenity of the shoreline communities east of New Haven. The Henry Whitfield State Museum and the exceptional preservation of the town's seventeenth-century architectural heritage make Guilford one of Connecticut's most historically significant shoreline communities, giving recreational facilities like the golf course an extraordinary historic context.
