Golf in Watertown

Watertown is a residential community in Litchfield County positioned north of Waterbury, where the combination of the Naugatuck River valley's southern reach and the Litchfield Hills' foothills creates a transitional landscape between the industrial valley and the rural upland. The Golf Course at Crestbrook Park—a publicly accessible facility within the larger Crestbrook Park recreational complex—and Watertown Golf Club together serve a community that occupies an intermediate position between the industrial valley and the more affluent communities of the Litchfield Hills to the north. Watertown's character as a well-established residential community with its own downtown and civic traditions distinguishes it from purely suburban communities, and the two golf facilities serve a population with a genuine stake in the town's recreational infrastructure.
