Brooklawn's championship golf course traces to a nine-hole layout, designed by members shortly after the club's founding.

Gene Sarazen, one of only five golfers to have won all the current major championships and inventor of the sand wedge,[8] was assistant golf professional before emerging on the national stage.

In 1943, Sarazen presented a collection of his championship medals, including major tournaments and the Ryder Cup, to the club, which subsequently donated them to the USGA Museum in Far Hills, New Jersey.

Julius Boros, a Fairfield native, is an honorary member of the club and played frequently at Brooklawn, stunning the gallery with a hole-in-one at the second hole during an exhibition match in 1961.

It was reported in the Bridgeport Times & Evening Farmer[11] newspaper of October 25, 1920 that some 500 spectators were in attendance to witness the crack British pair.

In separate events three years later, Gene Sarazen and Jock Hutchison appeared in a four-ball match[12] and Walter Hagen and Australian Joe Kirkwood, Sr. played against Brooklawn professional George Sparling and his partner.

Junior Girls' Championship were Inbee Park, Michelle Wie, Morgan Pressel, Brittany Lang and Paula Creamer.
