“The Haven is one of New England’s most beautiful and unique golf courses. We’re thrilled to welcome it and its members into the Invited family,” said David Pillsbury, Invited’s Chief Executive Officer. “The club has a long, proud history. We pledge to respect that history while also focusing on building meaningful relationships and creating connections through the member programming Invited clubs are known for. We take great pride in creating places, events, and opportunities where our clubs become central hubs of social engagement. We know that tradition will thrive at The Haven Country Club.”

The golf course, designed by William Mitchell, features a compelling layout framed by the lush forests and rolling hills of farmland that dominate the landscape. The course recently underwent a renovation under the direction of Forse Design, a noted golf designer who has worked at several regional courses.

The Haven Country Club offers award-winning dining options as its culinary staff has been honored with the Silver Ladle three times. It also features an oversized pool surrounded by grassy areas perfect for families and a complete host of seasonal activities ranging from children’s summer programs to movie nights. The club also offers a fitness center and two har-tru tennis courts.
