The golfers of the Sterling Farms Men’s Club (SFMC), and their guests, kicked off the 2021 season officially today in a stunning show of luminaries from all over the region. It was a scorcher of a... Read More

Money Talks

Sterling Farms Golf Course, and all that is a part of the property, gets a lot of use. By my estimation (and I wholly admit this is purely hogwash), the driving range golf balls are hit at least 7,954,064,223,105 times a year.... That's a heck of a lotta wear and tear, even for a range ball! Well, thank heavens the leadership at Sterling Farms reinvests the money it earns right back into the facilities we all love, and even with their best efforts, we want more, more, more! Read More

Course Prep

There's so much more to maintaining this stellar golf course, like the full-time, seven-days-a-week efforts of the unsung heroes who make Sterling so beautiful. Read More

May’s Magic

Springtime at Sterling, is always a stunner, especially wherever Gilberto, Gus, and course superintendent Mike Golden's team work extra hard to buff things out for all to see. Just a pleasure to behold, and a tad cheery too! Read More

Beauty is in the Eye….

Springtime at Sterling, is always a stunner, especially just outside the Pro Shop, where Gilberto, Gus, and course superintendent Mike Golden's team work extra hard to buff things out for all to see. With all of the masks, rules, and safety precautions, what a pleasure to behold, and a tad cheerier too! Read More

Morning Glory

We Americans are a reslilient people (especially Sterling Farms Golfers!). "In an attempt to take Baltimore, the British attacked Fort McHenry, which protected the harbor. Bombs were soon bursting in air, rockets were glaring, and all in all it was a moment of great historical interest. During the bombardment, a young lawyer named Francis Off Key [sic] wrote 'The Star-Spangled Banner', and when, by the dawn's early light, the British heard it sung, they fled in terror." − Richard Armour. Let us all unite, and bid farewell to COVID-19. Read More

The Hunt

It was 66-degrees Fahrenheit on January 12, 2020 when I was out playing on the 3rd hole when I suddenly encountered Bambi's Ball Hunt, which just 'felt' like it belonged front and center in this installment of Sterling Farms Golfer, 2020 Winter Edition. Read More

It's all about the people.

Goodfellas

By the Number

One thing I've learned for sure: marshall Edward L. Gentile’s math skills are indisputable! The former PerkinElmer electrical engineer knows how to work a slide rule to no end, so don’t even try to pull a fast one on him! He’ll getcha! Read More

Soccer Fan

Marco Diaz is lot like George: sees me coming and heads for the hills. He knows I’m gunning to snag a picture of him, George, too. The motion blur is impossible to avoid with Marco, because he moves at the speed of light, almost, because the World Cup is coming! Read More

Hawkeye

Bob is a Glenbrook native who spent 35+ years at Unilever before moving up to Sterling Farms as the clean-up hitter of the marshalls. A wobbily 2019 has left the once 13.* index scoring too much for comfort these days, but he’s a good egg, and will bring it around. Meanwhile, always know his bark is louder than his bite!

From the desk of Paul grillo, executive director, Stamford Golf Authority

Welcome to Sterling Farms Golfer. Over the past five decades, Sterling Farms has evolved into one of the premiere golf destinations anywhere in the region. We continually strive to maintain, if not exceed, that distinction, and know we owe it all to our Stamford families, friends and neighbors, as well as our patrons like you. Now is the best time of the year to play our spectacular 18 hole championship golf course. Our Golf Course Superintendent, Mike Golden, and his whole team, are leaders in the world of greenkeeping, and we are very proud of the quality of their hard work. I think you'll find our putting greens, fairways, tees, roughs—and every landscape feature here—reflects their devotion and hard work. It is spectacular. Sterling Farms is home to the area's top driving range facility. You won't find a better value, or level of quality, anywhere! We take great pride and joy serving you, and our local community. On behalf of all of us here at Sterling Farms, welcome and thank you!
