Shennecossett Golf Course is a municipal 18 hole golf course located in the city of Groton, Connecticut. It was founded in 1898 as a four-hole layout and over the next 18 years it was enlarged to a six, nine, eleven and eventually an eighteen-hole course. In 1916 golf course architect Donald Ross redesigned the course layout and in 1919 completed his work. The course remained this way until 1997.
Famous golfers such as Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Tommy Armour, Francis Ouimet, Babe Didrikson, and Glenna Collett have played there.
The course was purchased by the Town of Groton in 1969.
