Waterbury City Hall
The Greater Waterbury area offers many fine golf courses, both public and private, extending the tradition of the game which dates to the early 1890s in Waterbury. Waterbury native Arthur Fenn (born 1857) is considered the first American-born professional golfer and is also became a noted golf course architect. The original course, the West End Golf Links, is long forgotten, but the popularity of the game is stronger than ever.
This city is also home to an 18-hole course designed by renouned designer Donald Ross. The Country Club of Waterbury has been in continuous existence since 1899 and is among the finest courses in Connecticut.
If you're looking to combine your genealogy research with your passion for golf, then Summer may be a great time. The Buick Championship (formerly the Greater Hartford Open), held just 45 minutes from Waterbury, is one of the leading spectator events on the PGA Tour each year.
