Established in 1916, Woodway Country Club is a premier member‑owned private club located on 184 acres in picturesque Darien, Connecticut, just one hour from New York City. The Club stands on pillars of tradition, community, and excellence and is dedicated to providing families with a comprehensive country club experience. At the heart of Woodway is a culture built on integrity, mutual respect, and a relentless dedication to overall member satisfaction.

Anchored by one of the state’s finest and nationally ranked golf courses, Woodway Country Club’s pride lies in its course, designed by the celebrated Golden Age architect Willie Park, Jr. The course has seen a multi‑million‑dollar, critically acclaimed restoration that revived much of Park’s original architectural vision. The course has been recognized by the National Audubon Society as the first course designated a bird sanctuary.

Hosting approximately 23,000 rounds and multiple outings each season, the men, women, and juniors enjoy a vigorous member tournament schedule, and the golf course remains the vibrant heart of Woodway.

In addition, the Club offers services and amenities at its four primary venues: the Main Club, the Pool & Tennis complex, the Paddle Tennis facility, and the Beach Club. Spanning 50,000 square feet, the Main Club presents a diverse range of dining experiences, from formal to casual and expansive to intimate settings, including a newly renovated $4 million outdoor patio and banquet facilities.

The Main Club also encompasses the Pro Shop, a 4‑lane bowling alley, the men’s and women’s locker rooms, and the Executive offices.

The 9,500‑square‑foot Pool and Tennis Complex (completed in 2013) boasts 10 clay tennis courts, a full‑service pro shop, and a comfortable viewing pavilion. The pool area includes six 25‑meter lanes, a twelve‑foot diving well, a secure baby pool, and a dining pavilion next to a children’s day camp facility that hosts a bustling summer camp program that sells out quickly.

The modern five‑court Paddle Tennis facility, completed in 2016, is strategically located at the edge of the golf course near the Pool and Tennis complex. It features its own street entrance and a cozy paddle hut where members can warm up by the stone fireplace and enjoy refreshments between matches. Woodway offers a comprehensive paddle program, including robust interclub league play, innovative clinics, tournaments, and intraclub competition for members of all ages and levels.

The Club’s racquets program offers a variety of programs throughout the spring, summer, and fall, including private and group lessons, interclub league play, USTA league competitions, and social and competitive tournaments and events for both adults and children.

The Beach Club is the fourth major facility at Woodway, situated 8 miles from the Main Club at Shippan Point along Long Island Sound in Stamford, Connecticut. Set across a 5‑acre beachfront property, this scenic location boasts a charming 20,000 square‑foot clubhouse with a full kitchen, picnic patios, a private beach, two Deco Turf hard tennis courts, a range of aquatic activities, and a vibrant calendar of events throughout the summer season.

Woodway benefits from an engaged, welcoming, family‑fun‑oriented, diverse, and passionate membership that draws from Darien, New Canaan, and other neighboring Fairfield County towns. The Club operates as a non‑profit entity, directed by an elected 15‑member Board of Governors, and is financially sound, with a robust waitlist for new members.

The Club’s Board of Governors and membership are committed to providing a best‑in‑class environment to deliver superior member and guest experiences. The Board of Governors is currently working on a long‑term master plan to continue this commitment to excellence. Future capital projects under consideration include (but are not limited to):
Main Club renovations, Beach Club enhancements, expanded racquet sport infrastructure, a new or renovated Greens & Grounds maintenance…
