A Club in the Country

Welcome to the Washington Club

The Washington Club was organized in 1903 as an unincorporated association and was incorporated in 1907 under the Laws of the State of Connecticut. Its formal incorporation was effected to enable it to take title to what is now known as the Club Hall, a building which had just been erected. The Club built its original tennis courts shortly thereafter on what is now the site of the Gunnery upper courts. In 1914 the Washington Golf Club was merged with the Washington Club. In 1922 the Washington Club began using a lakeside beach on Lake Waramaug, now called Holt Beach.

Holt Beach serves as a private retreat for our members from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The Club provides swim lessons, sailing lessons and several fun filled events over the summer.  In the winter, the beach serves as an ice rink for our members.
