Norfolk Country Club, Private country club in Norfolk, Connecticut, US
Norfolk Country Club is a private golf club with a nine-hole course and a clubhouse designed in Georgian Revival style. The main building features round columns and gabled dormers, with the facility occupying about 36 acres that also includes tennis courts and dining areas.
The U-shaped wooden clubhouse was designed by architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor between 1915 and 1917. The golf course was added in 1928 under the design of A.W. Tillinghast.
The National Register of Historic Places recognizes this country club for its architectural value and its role in developing suburban recreation activities.
The club is private, so access is limited to members and their guests. The entrance and parking area lie off the west side of Golf Drive, southwest of Norfolk's village center, with the clubhouse and tennis courts nearest the road and the course beyond.
The clubhouse was one of more than thirty commissions that New York City architect Alfredo S.G. Taylor, who summered in Norfolk, received in the community. The building sits on a 36-acre L-shaped parcel, with the golf course occupying most of the land.
