Course Description
Rock Ridge offers all the benefits of vacation right here in Newtown, CT. I joined the club to enjoy swimming, golfing, and tennis with my family. We immediately fell in love with the club, the staff, and the members. Aside from a very warm family friendly atmosphere the competetion is plentiful. Whether your a single digit handicap or a beginner trying to break a hundred, our tournaments will suit you. This competetion isn't only the men, the competetive women and exciting youth programs thrive. The tennis program has an equal balance of skill level games. You will often see competetive matches bookended by cardio tennis and point mania. The pool oasis and social gatherings are a great balance of family entertainment and adult fun. The Rock is a gem positioned in the center of the Newtown, Bethel, Brookfield, and Danbury area. Hope we see you soon!
