Vineyard Valley Golf Club

Pomfret Center, Connecticut

Vineyard Valley Golf Club is a scenic, 9-hole Pomfret Center golf course that is laid out on what used to be a vineyard -- thus the name. Tee times at this course are the most popular in the area, and they have also begun to attract nearby Providence golf lovers. This is a steeply-sloped course that spans 3,033 yards of golf and features holes that either go straight up or straight down the hillside. The other six holes travel across the slope, providing a challenging variety of uphill, downhill and sidehill lies. It is rare to ever get a flat lie on this course. The yardage is welcoming, but constant breezes and awkward stances make this course more challenging than one might guess.
