Golf in Norfolk

Norfolk is the highest town in Connecticut by elevation, situated in the northwestern corner of Litchfield County at the edge of the Berkshire foothills, where temperatures regularly run below those of the Hartford corridor and the cool-season landscape draws visitors seeking the upland New England experience. The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, hosted at the Yale Summer School of Music on the historic Battell-Stoeckel estate since 1941, has given the town a cultural distinction unusual for a community of its size. Norfolk Country Club serves both permanent residents and the summer community that Norfolk has sustained for more than a century, occupying a landscape defined by these upland characteristics—foliage, elevation, and the appealing remoteness from the urban Connecticut corridor that makes the Litchfield Hills compelling.
