Team Overview
Suffield’s golf program is coed, with six players competing in each match. All competition is conducted by stroke play. The team competes in two end-of-season tournaments, including the very prestigious Eastern Prep Championship. Schools from the Mid-Atlantic states to Maine play in this tournament, which Suffield has won twice.
Suffield is fortunate to have daily access (including weekends) to a beautifully conditioned, private, nine-hole golf course within walking distance of campus. Daily practices begin as soon as the course opens in the spring. Additionally, the teams play several matches on some of the best 18-hole courses in New England, including the Yale Golf Course, Crumpin-Fox, and Wyantenuck.
Suffield has graduated several outstanding golfers, many of whom have gone on to play at the collegiate level. Graduates of both the boys’ and girls’ teams have earned spots on Division I college teams.
