The Meadows is Down East Magazine’s “Pick” for best golf course in the Travel & Play Category! Thank you all for your support, we couldn’t be more thrilled. What a great way to round out an amazing season!  Cheers to many more!

Pastoral views abound at The Meadows Golf Club a low-key gem nestled into the Litchfield countryside. Longtime player, first-time owner Randall Anderson bought the 18-hole, par-68 course, together with friends, in 2017. Come for the lovely woodland course (watch for wildlife on the fairways!), stay for Doolin’s Pub, a lively, down-to-earth watering hole where golfers and non-golfers gather year-round for comedy nights, trivia, and more (the swings don’t stop in winter, thanks to indoor multi-sport simulators). Don’t skip the pub’s signature Reuben or perfect chicken wings. An ideal Sunday morning is a round followed by brunch and a spin through the Red Dawg Bloody Mary Bar.
