Thank you for your interest in membership at The Patterson Club, a private, year-round country club situated on 163 acres in Fairfield, Connecticut, offering a variety of exceptional dining, social, racquets, aquatics, and golf activities for the entire family. The Club’s mission, as envisioned by founding members in 1929, is to promote good fellowship among kindred spirits. A multi-step Sponsored Membership Application Process is informed by the mission and offers a period of discovery and evaluation. Our members play an active role in identifying and developing prospective members, and those seeking membership must be sponsored by three Full Privilege or House, Tennis, and Pool members with no less than six months' tenure. Please keep in mind that membership, with corresponding privileges and responsibilities, may only be extended by the Board of Directors following an affirmative vote.
The Sponsored Membership Application Process is now closed, and the Club is temporarily suspending new enrollments to the Prospective Applicant Waitlist. Interested families may complete the Membership Inquiry Form to share their contact information to be notified of opportunities to participate in the membership inquiry process. Thank you for your patience and understanding that requests for calls, tours, or waitlist placement will not be entertained until further notice.
