Hello DMA Golfers,

The revised cost for non-CCD members is $213 (includes tax).  Credit cards are not permitted; therefore, kindly make checks payable to The Country Club of Darien.  CCD members will be charged on their house account for the golf cart and lunch.

Final details with foursomes and tee times to follow several days prior to August 21st.  Looking forward to a fun day of golf and lunch.

Best,

Hike Bennett’s Pond, Ridgefield, Monday, July 21, 2025

Greetings to the Hale and Hearty!

The intrepid among us will circle Bennett’s Pond in Ridgefield. The terrain is fairly level, with the route a little on the longish side — around 3.0 miles. The trail head begins almost immediately after you turn west on Bennetts Farm Road off Route 7.
There is parking for only about three cars here. So, if these spots are already taken, proceed west for three quarters of a mile where there is ample parking in a lot on the right.  We will shuttle over to pick you up. (See telephone # below.)  Obviously, carpooling works well for this one. So, if you choose this option, meet at the DCA lot at 9:30am, where we will sort ourselves. When parking for the day, please use the back portion of the lot.

Due to the time of year, bug spray might come in handy. Travel time is about twenty-five minutes. Post hike, we will retire to the Red Rooster, in Wilton for a communal repast.
