The open house will be held on Sunday, April 10 from 12:00 p.m. till 2:30 p.m. and visitors can tour the grounds and discover the benefits of being a member at Mill River.
In 1923, Mill River Country Club was created as a nine-hole course on what had been Stratford farmland and was eventually expanded to eighteen holes in 1925. Starting in 1937 and continuing until 1953, Mill River hosted the Shoreline Open Championship, a major PGA Tour event, which brought the biggest names in golf to Mill River.
Recently, renovations to the golf course and the driving range were made in 2005 and maintenance has been ongoing. The golf course for the last several years has been under the management of Course Superintendent Keith Angilly and PGA Professional John Klug and has received repeated praise for the excellent condition of its greens and fairways.
For those looking to cool off, Mill River's Olympic Size Swimming Pool -- the largest pool of any Club in the area -- has been an attraction to Club members since its construction in the 1960's and is the practice pool of the Mill River Swim Team.
Unusual for country clubs in this area, four modern bowling alleys have been maintained on the lower level of the Mill River Clubhouse, which provided an enjoyment in a historical setting to members of both adult and youth bowling programs and leagues at the club.
