112th Connecticut Amateur Championship
June 16th - 20th, 2014
F
or the first time in the 112-year history of the event,
Lake of Isles in North Stonington, Connecticut will
welcome the state’s top amateur golfers when it hosts
the 2014 Connecticut Amateur Championship on June 16th20th.
Founded in 2005 by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation, Lake of Isles is located across the street from the
Foxwoods Resort Casino. Renowned Golf Course Architect
Rees Jones designed 36 unique holes that wind their way
through 900 acres of wooded Connecticut countryside, and
around a 90-acre lake, appropriately named “Lake of Isles”.
The two courses (North and South) offer rolling terrain,
island greens and tees, and extraordinary views, all blending
harmoniously with the incredible natural landscape.
The North Course, which is open to the public, is a
par-72 layout that stretches more than 7,300 yards from the
championship tees. The course features rolling fairways and
extraordinary views, which blend nicely with the incredible
natural landscape. The South Course (private) winds closely
around the lake and requires precision off the tee. A pair of
difficult island green par-3’s greet the players on the back
nine, and the tee shot on the par-5 8th hole features the
Foxwoods Casino as a backdrop.
Both courses have won several accolades since opening
in 2005, including Golf Digest’s America’s Best New Courses
and Best Courses in the State, Golf Magazine’s Top 100
Courses You Can Play, and Golfweek has ranked the North
Course No. 1 in the state for the past six years.
