Golf Course Information
Description
It all started when summer residents of the Oenoke Ridge felt the need for a club that would offer a convenient and pleasant resort for its members. Those feelings lead to the formation of the Oenoke Field Club&to promote the interests of lawn tennis and other sports stated the New Canaan Messenger of 1893. The property was located on the Bliss estate just north of the present Presbyterian Church. There was just enough room to build two or more golf holes and some tennis courts. The Club soon outgrew its limited space and in 1897 the Club moved to what is now known as Country Club Road.
208 acres were rented from the St. John Farm and the home of the late Squire Richards was the site of the clubhouse. Improvements were made to the original farmhouse; a mens locker room was added and a huge fireplace, capable of holding six foot length logs was located in the large living room. The fireplace is believed to be buried inside an existing support wall located in the kitchen. The property and improvements to the Clubhouse cost something over $5,000. Work by the club members on the grounds commenced in early June and on the 4th of July 1897 four holes of golf were ready for play.
