THE STORY OF SILVER SPRING COUNTRY CLUB
THE STORY OF SILVER SPRING COUNTRY CLUB
Established in 1930, amidst the beautiful rolling hills of Ridgefield Connecticut, Silver Spring has emerged as one of the premier country clubs in Fairfield County, attracting a devoted membership and upholding a tradition of exceptional and ever-improving facilities.
Silver Spring Country Club is a welcoming community with social and recreational membership options to suit a variety of lifestyles., and is a family friendly Club offering Golf, Tennis, Paddle, Swimming, Dining and Social Events for the whole family.
As our members drive up the winding driveway to Silver Spring, they feel as though they have left the outside world behind. A beautiful private setting with state-of-the-art facilities and unmatched services and amenities. Silver Spring Country Club is a club for all seasons. The original clubhouse was a small building designed by Roger Bullard, but over the years it has been expanded and updated to become a modernized facility, though it still adheres to its original charm.
The golf course was designed by Robert White and Charles Banks. Golf Course Architect, Brian Schneider, a partner with Renaissance Golf Design, has been retained to develop a complete Golf Course Master Plan to include the practice facilities. In addition, a state of the art golf simulator has been added as part of a significant capital plan project.
