The Club at River Oaks is a gated, residential golf community with 66 lots on 350 secluded acres. It is located in Sherman, CT, in a section long known as a second-home haven for discerning urbanites.
The Club at River Oaks’ golf course is a 6,837-yard parkland classic. It plays to par-70 over rolling foothills acreage and toward the broad Housatonic River.
Hole variety is a hallmark of designer Robert McNeil’s zig-zagging layout, which features longer, more wide-open fairways with some tighter and trickier holes.
