About Lyman Orchards Golf Club - Player Course

Lyman Orchards Golf Club's Player Course is one of Connecticut's most celebrated public golf experiences, set among the historic Lyman Orchards farm property in Middlefield. Designed by Gary Player and opened in 1969, the course integrates seamlessly with the working apple orchard and farm surroundings, offering a uniquely scenic and memorable round. Mature fruit trees, open meadow holes, and strategic water hazards create a diverse eighteen-hole challenge that rewards thoughtful course management. The Player Course has earned consistent recognition as one of New England's top public layouts, attracting golfers from across the state and region. The Lyman Orchards complex also features the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed Apple Valley Course, a world-class practice facility, and the legendary apple orchard farm stand, making this a complete destination. Conditioning is consistently excellent across this storied layout.

History

The Player Course at Lyman Orchards opened in 1969, designed by golf legend Gary Player as part of a vision to create world-class public golf on the historic Lyman farm property in Middlefield. The Lyman family, who have farmed this land since the 1700s, partnered with Player to build a course that honored the agricultural heritage of the site. A second course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. was added later, cementing the complex as Connecticut's premier public golf destination.
