The legacy continues as the Club offers an outstanding collection of amenities and activities for the entire family.
  • 1922

    Tumble Brook Country Club was named for the brook that flows through the Club property. It was incorporated and organized in October 1922, and was largely an outgrowth of a social group known as the Touro Club. Shortly thereafter, the Club purchased the 155-acre R.G. Miller farm in Bloomfield. Willie Park, one of the foremost golf course architects of the time, was commissioned to design the first nine-hole course and construction was then started.

    The opening affair at the clubhouse was held at the end of May.  An annual Anniversary Dinner Dance was held for 50 years each May commemorating this occasion. The golf course opened to play that same season.

    The Club purchased an additional 4 acres of land on Simsbury Road from the Estate of Curtis Cook, which is where the practice fairway and driving range are currently located.

    In September, the original $60,000 mortgage note on the Club was retired and burned. The next year construction of the second nine-hole course, designed by Orrin E. Smith, began and opened to play in the spring of 1949. That same year, an addition to the clubhouse was completed, enlarging the kitchen and provided for the private dining room and a downstairs card room.

    During the next six years, the clubhouse was renovated, re-decorated, and the locker rooms were enlarged. In addition, the swimming pool, pool building, snack bar and new pro shop were built. In 1960, the Club purchased the Humphrey Farm north of the original Club property for a third nine-hole course.
