Golf in Newington

Newington is a central Connecticut suburb positioned between New Britain and Wethersfield along the Berlin Turnpike corridor, developing rapidly in the mid-twentieth century into a working-class and middle-class residential community. Indian Hill Country Club occupies elevated terrain within the community, offering topographic relief that the suburban flatlands of the immediate area do not generally provide. The club reflects the private golf traditions of the Hartford metropolitan suburbs, where membership institutions developed to serve the professional and business class that populated the post-war residential expansions. Newington's identity as an accessible, practical Connecticut town with genuine recreational infrastructure distinguishes it from the more purely affluent suburbs to the west while maintaining the civic traditions of community life that characterize the greater Hartford corridor.
