Golf in Hamden

Hamden is a New Haven County town north of New Haven—home to Quinnipiac University and the Sleeping Giant traprock ridge—with three golf facilities that reflect its position as one of the region's more complete suburban golf markets. New Haven Country Club and The VUE provide private and daily-fee golf in the Sleeping Giant uplands, while Sleeping Giant Golf Course offers accessible municipal golf adjacent to the state park that gives Hamden one of Connecticut's most distinctive natural landmarks and recreational anchors. The town's geographic range—from the Quinnipiac River valley to the Sleeping Giant ridge to the wooded residential neighborhoods of the western hills—gives Hamden a topographic diversity that makes it one of the more varied communities in the greater New Haven metropolitan area.
