The new carts will arrive around the middle of this month and there will be no increase to the cart fees for the 2024 season.

CLOSING DAY SCRAMBLE
Registration is now open for the Closing Day Scramble that will take place on Saturday, October 19th. It is an ABCD Scramble with a Shotgun Start and dinner will be served afterwards. We look forward to seeing you out on the course for one last member event. Sign up in the Pro Shop.
TOYS FORE JOY
It’s a very exciting time of year… time to announce our annual fundraiser, the Toys Fore Joy Turkey Shoot! This great event is open to the entire Membership and Guests are more than welcomed to participate in this special event, registration is only $45 plus one NEW toy donation (valued at $20+).
Every Alliance course will participate in a shotgun on the morning of Saturday, November 9th. Soup and beer will be served on course, prizes are awarded, and raffles & mulligans are sold (proceeds go towards buying more toys!). Once the shotguns go out, we count the toys at each club and tally our overall total. It’s our very special and heartwarming way of wrapping up the tournament season!
Each year, we partner with community organizations during the holiday season to ensure the donated toys are delivered directly into the hands of local children in need. We proudly donated over 800 toys in 2022. This year’s event will take place across 5 golf clubs with the goal of donating 1,000 toys!
Please sign up in the golf shop to enjoy a great day of golf, beer, soup, and holiday cheer!

We are excited to finally announce that you can now call in your orders while on the course to the Grill Room. All you need to do is call the main phone number at 203-264-8081 and press option 2 for the Grill Room and we will be happy to take your order over the phone and have it ready for when you make the turn at the Clubhouse.
As we are starting to wind down for the season, we are also trimming down the Grill Room menu as well. We have kept the more popular items on the menu for the remainder of the year, which you can view below. We are also running a Fish & Chips Special in the Grill Room for $8 until we run out. Make sure you get the catch of the day before they are all gone!!!

You will be able to charge your purchases back to your Member Account just like up in the Pro Shop when you check out.
