Welcome to
JoneS Course
The Jones Course is a masterclass in strategic design, blending artistry with challenge. Hallmarks of Robert Trent Jones’ vision are evident throughout—from expansive bunkering to water features that demand thoughtful shot placement.
Spanning from 5,812 to 7,011 yards, the Jones Course tests golfers with risk/reward opportunities on many holes. The front nine showcases long, sweeping par 5s and demanding par 3s, while the back nine introduces tighter fairways, subtle elevation shifts, and green complexes that punish misjudged approaches.
Holes like the par-5 18th finish the round with a classic risk-reward decision that’s signature Jones. With a slope of 134 from the tips and a layout that flows harmoniously with the natural terrain, the Jones Course is as beautiful as it is bold.

Course Architect: Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed or redesigned nearly 500 golf courses across the U.S. and worldwide, earning a reputation for strategic, risk-reward layouts featuring bold bunkering, water hazards, and holes designed to be a “hard par, easy bogey.” In the mid-1960s, Jack Lyman brought Jones to transform Lyman Orchards into a premier recreational destination, culminating in the opening of its 18-hole championship course in 1969—still regarded as one of Connecticut’s finest.
