The new golf center at Lyman Orchards is progressing towards a spring 2012 opening. The project will add a learning center/nine-hole executive course, the only new golf-course construction slated for 2011 in Connecticut, to the existing two courses.The new course is taking shape across from the Apple Barrel Country Store and pond, with a parking area and entrance center located across Route 157 from the popular corn maze attraction.
Lyman Orchards began in 1741 as a 36-acre farm and remains a family-owned and operated business on 1,100 acres in Middlefield, Conn. In addition to golf, the business includes a farm store, pick-your-own crops, and a corporate meeting and special events venue in the Lyman Homestead, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Popular events are held throughout the year at the Apple Barrel store. Stephen Ciskowski is CEO and John Lyman III is chief operating officer.
