The Patterson Club

The Patterson Club is a private country club located in Fairfield, Connecticut, situated on a 163-acre former farmstead. The club features an 18-hole golf course designed by renowned architect Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Founded in 1929 by General Electric employees as a dining and social club, it expanded to include golf facilities in 1945 when General Electric acquired the Quasset Farm property.

Beyond the championship golf course, The Patterson Club offers comprehensive recreational facilities including a clubhouse (renovated with a new facility opening in 2010), swimming and diving pools, and racquet sports facilities featuring tennis and platform tennis courts. The club operates as a year-round, family-oriented private institution with upscale casual dining options and social programming designed to foster member camaraderie.

The club's design incorporates the original farmhouse and 19th-century barn structures into its modern facilities. The bluebird serves as the golf mascot, reflecting the migratory patterns of the species across the property. The Patterson Club maintains a commitment to financial stability and community engagement while preserving its heritage dating back nearly a century.
