Golf in Washington

Washington is one of the most distinguished rural communities in Connecticut, a Litchfield County town that has preserved its colonial character, its agricultural landscape, and its reputation as a destination for artists, writers, and intellectuals who have sought the beauty of the western Connecticut hills for more than a century. Washington Depot, the commercial village, and Washington Green, the historic town center, together comprise a community of unusual social and aesthetic coherence. Washington Golf Course serves the local community and summer residents in a town that hosts a remarkable concentration of writers, painters, and cultural figures for a rural community of its size. The Shepaug River and the Litchfield Hills terrain give Washington a natural landscape that has consistently drawn those who prioritize beauty over accessibility.
