Of course:
Bull’s Bridge Golf Club is located in scenic Litchfield County in northwest Connecticut and offers a truly unique golfing experience. The Berkshire foothills offer sweeping panoramas with spectacular views that stand out across the property. The 18-hole championship golf course opened in 2004 and quickly caught the attention of the golf community. Designed by Tom Fazio, one of America’s greatest living golf architects, the par 72 layout shows its characteristic variety of designs. With four tee sets, two hybrid course layouts and yards from 5,300 to 7,000 yards, the course appeals to and challenges players of all levels at the same time. While Travel + Leisure Golf rated it as one of America’s best new private courses in 2004, the course already has a maturity and presentation level that extends well beyond its years.
