Nested along the Long Island Sound, Guilford, Connecticut could be the poster city for the typical, if not quintessential New England town. With numerous historic homes as well as museums, Guilford offers history and a colonial charm that covers four centuries. Much of the Guilford area's beauty can be enjoyed from several of the local public or municipal 18-hole golf courses including the Alling Memorial Golf Course in New Haven, the Tradition Golf Course in Wallingford, the Lyman Orchards Golf Club and the Player Golf Course in Middlefield.
