In February 1969, a lease between Newington and Indian Hill Country Club was signed and the operation of Indian Hill commenced as a unique, leased entity, which still exists today. Indian Hill, which evolved from the original nine holes in 1899, to 15 holes in 1912, and finally, to 18 holes in 1921, has become one of the more outstanding golf courses in Newington, Conn.
