J. Kennedy Tod developed Innis Arden, his 147-acre estate on what is today's Greenwich Point, land that he had begun accumulating in 1887. Tod built a 37-room mansion and a number of outbuildings. He built a 9 hole course for his beloved game of golf and invited his neighbors in Sound Beach,
now Old Greenwich, to join him. On November 11, 1899 Innis Arden Golf Club was organized by 64 charter members. Next to the first tee, Mr. Tod's Innis Arden gates continue to stand guard. A proud reminder of the Club's storied past.
Today Innis Arden boasts the newly renovated 18 hole golf course and practice range designed by Ken Dye, the Club also added a golf teaching hut, new cart barn and a well stocked Golf Shop. The Club takes pride in its very active aquatics program, seven Har-Tru tennis courts and four of which are covered for winter play, four paddle tennis courts with a brand new paddle warming hut. The Clubhouse features a gourmet kitchen with four dining rooms and patio overlooking the first tee.
