Facility

The Apple 9 Course at Lyman Orchards opened in 2012 and was honored by the American Society of Golf Course Architects with its inaugural “Design Excellence” award. The par-29 course was ranked as the top Par 3 course in Connecticut and 10th overall in New England by New England Golf Monthly magazine. The Apple Nine wraps around one of Golf Range Association of America’s Top 50 Public Practice Facility in the US (2018, 2019), hosts the largest ladies instructional program in New England and represents the largest PGA Jr. League program in New England. At 1,600 yards, this executive bent grass layout is less intimidating for novices yet challenging for experienced golfers looking to shave strokes off their game by offering four sets of tees. In addition to the course, The Apple 9 boasts a 20,000 square foot practice area including grass hitting range, putting green, short game area, chipping green and newly redone practice bunkers.
