Laurel View Country Club, Hamden

Located just east of the Farm Brook Reservoir, Laurel View Country Club’s golf course hosts bentgrass fairways, sizable ponds, sand traps, and thick copses of deciduous trees. Since 1969, golfers have traversed the rolling landscape through the shade of these trees as they test their mettle and bag of metals on the Geoffrey S. Cornish–designed course. Today, director of golf Matt Menchetti, a PGA professional, oversees the meticulously manicured links and a driving range where players hone their swing from 15 hitting stations.
