The Round Hill Club is a private country club in northern Greenwich, best known for its 18-hole regulation golf course. The course, which was built in 1924 by Walter Travis, has since been renovated and now features four sets of tee boxes for golfers of varying skill levels. The club also includes dining facilities, a fitness center, a pool, paddle courts and both outdoor and indoor tennis courts.
The Stanwich Club opened in 1964, the result of a population boom that put pressure on the Round Hill Club's waitlist and a devastating fire that ripped through the Greenwich Country Club clubhouse. The two local clubs joined in the effort of purchasing land for this private country club. Local architect William Gordon and his son, David, designed the famous 18-hole Stanwich golf course.
Today, the club has about 500 members. In addition to the 18-hole, 7133-yard golf course, the club features a swimming pool, paddle and tennis courts and both casual and fine dining.
A number of club facilities including the Gazebo, Oak Room and main dining room are available for rent, provided the client gets sponsorship from a member.

Named after the many Tamarack trees indigenous to the area, Tamarack County Club is a private golf and country club located in the town's rural backcountry. Its history dates to 1909, when the club operated as the Port Chester Country Club.
