Golf in Wolcott

Wolcott is a small town in New Haven County positioned on the ridgeline between the Naugatuck and Mad River valleys, where the elevated terrain creates the open upland character that gives Farmingbury Hills Golf Course both its name and its setting. The town developed primarily as a post-war residential community for workers employed in the manufacturing cities of the Naugatuck Valley—Waterbury, Naugatuck, and Ansonia—and its hilltop position above the valley gives it a residential character that contrasts with the industrial identity of the valley floors. Farmingbury Hills Golf Course serves the golf community of a town whose hilltop setting provides topographic relief and views that distinguish the course from the facilities in the surrounding valley communities.
