Indian Hill Country Club is a private member-owned club established in 1899 in Newington, Connecticut. Set on 111 Golf Street, the club centers on an 18-hole championship course whose design traces through three architects — John Duncan Dunn (1899), Robert D. Pryde (1912), and Robert J. Ross (1924) — producing a traditional New England layout of undulating terrain, native grasses, and a challenging par-70 routing. The club offers a private reception space with a wall of windows overlooking the course, an outdoor ceremony area beneath a white gazebo on the lawn, and a terrace for cocktail receptions. The facility accommodates up to 225 guests and provides in-house catering for weddings, private dinners, and other events. Both live bands and DJs are permitted, with music allowed indoors.
