Golf in Stamford

Stamford is Connecticut's second-largest city and the corporate capital of Fairfield County, where the concentration of hedge funds, private equity firms, and corporate headquarters has created a wealth concentration that rivals any municipality in the northeastern United States. Three golf facilities reflect the city's economic and demographic range—The Stanwich Club providing the elite private experience for a membership that includes prominent figures in American finance, E. Gaynor Brennan Golf Course offering publicly accessible golf to Stamford residents across the income spectrum, and Sterling Farms Golf Club occupying a middle position in the public-access continuum. Stamford's commuter rail connections to Grand Central and the density of its commercial district give the city a scale and intensity that make it the defining economic center of Connecticut's Gold Coast.
