Golf in Milford

Milford is a New Haven County shoreline city combining an active Long Island Sound waterfront with a pleasant downtown and the Charles Island bird sanctuary, creating a community of genuine coastal character between Bridgeport and New Haven. Two golf facilities—Great River Golf Club and Orchards Golf Course—serve Milford's recreational golf market, with Great River's Housatonic River setting providing one of Connecticut's more distinctive golf landscapes adjacent to the tidal estuary of a significant Connecticut river. Milford's Silver Sands State Park provides public beach access on a barrier beach that creates a genuinely dramatic shoreline experience, and the combination of coastal recreation, harbor access, and the golf facilities makes Milford one of the more complete recreational communities on the Connecticut coast.
