The Stanwich Club opened in 1964, the result of a population boom that put pressure on the Round Hill Club's waitlist and a devastating fire that ripped through the Greenwich Country Club clubhouse.

Today, the club has about 500 members. In addition to the 18-hole, 7133-yard golf course, the club features a swimming pool, paddle and tennis courts and both casual and fine dining.
