Wintonbury Hills Golf Course
Bloomfield, CT
Wintonbury Hills Golf Course, located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is a celebrated Pete Dye design that opened in 2005. As Dye’s first championship course in New England, it showcases his distinctive philosophy of creating engaging and strategic layouts. The 6,711-yard, par-70 course masterfully blends open links-style holes with traditional tree-lined fairways, offering a diverse and captivating round. While not possessing the extreme bite of some of Dye’s more infamous designs, Wintonbury Hills still presents a formidable challenge, particularly on the back nine where several holes play tight with trees and hazards. The course is consistently ranked among the top in Connecticut, lauded for its unique blend of architectural styles and its ability to test golfers of all skill levels. Its setting in Bloomfield, northwest of Hartford, provides a picturesque backdrop for a memorable golfing experience, making it a must-play for those seeking a true Pete Dye challenge in a beautiful New England landscape.

The course is known for its tree-lined fairways, spectacular carries, and a variety of terrain that challenges and excites.
