The mission of the Greenwich Boat and Yacht Club hasn't changed since its founding in 1938. To this day, the club actively promotes yachting and boating by maintaining related facilities for members and supporting the development of boating and harbor facilities in the town.
About 285 members belong to the club, which is located on Grass Island on the banks of Greenwich Harbor.
The GBYC sponsors the Greenwich High School Sailing team and serves as the meeting location for the Captain Harbor Power and Sail Squadron.
The town-owned clubhouse can accommodate 180 people and is available for rental to GBYC members who have been active at least six months and only during off-boating season of November 1 through May 15.
Membership applications are available on the GBYC website and at the clubhouse.
The Round Hill Club is a private country club in northern Greenwich, best known for its 18-hole regulation golf course. The course, which was built in 1924 by Walter Travis, has since been renovated and now features four sets of tee boxes for golfers of varying skill levels. The club also includes dining facilities, a fitness center, a pool, paddle courts and both outdoor and indoor tennis courts.
The Stanwich Club opened in 1964, the result of a population boom that put pressure on the Round Hill Club's waitlist and a devastating fire that ripped through the Greenwich Country Club clubhouse. The two local clubs joined in the effort of purchasing land for this private country club. Local architect William Gordon and his son, David, designed the famous 18-hole Stanwich golf course.
Today, the club has about 500 members. In addition to the 18-hole, 7133-yard golf course, the club features a swimming pool, paddle and tennis courts and both casual and fine dining.
A number of club facilities including the Gazebo, Oak Room and main dining room are available for rent, provided the client gets sponsorship from a member.

Named after the many Tamarack trees indigenous to the area, Tamarack County Club is a private golf and country club located in the town's rural backcountry.

The club has changed quite dramatically since then. It now boasts an 18-hole, 6834-yard golf course, artificial lakes, numerous dining facilities, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Some club facilities including the dining room and outdoor portico are available for rental, provided sponsorship of a member. Information regarding membership is available upon request, via the Tamarack Country Club's website.
