Washington is one of the oldest continuously operating golf clubs in the United States. It began as the Washington Field Club in 1889, changed its name to the Washington Golf Club in 1897, and moved from its old location, on the other side of Green Hill, in 1906.  Washington’s golf course is still contained within its original 40-acre footprint.  The club is as unpretentious as the clubhouse and the course.  The Washington Club hosts about 10,000 9 hole rounds of golf annually.  The Golf Clubhouse, Pro Shop and Course is located at 10 Golf Course Road in Washington Depot, CT 06793.
