About Crumpin-Fox
Crumpin-Fox Club was conceived in 1969 as the “field of
dreams” of David Berelson, who engaged the services of
Roger Rulewich, the longtime right hand man of Robert
Trent Jones, Sr., to locate a site that would accommodate
a Pine Valley inspired golf course.
The Bernardston site was chosen, but construction stalled
and the course did not take shape until 1977 when
Andy St. Hillaire bought the project, completed the back
nine holes and built the present clubhouse. Although
Andy was a golfer of admittedly low persistence and
high scores, he recognized the potential excellence of
the design and preserved it until 1987 when he sold
Crumpin-Fox to his good friend William A. “Bill” Sandri of
Bernardston.
Sandri contacted Roger Rulewich
(left) and the two men collaborated
and developed a lifelong affinity
while pouring over the original plans
for Crumpin-Fox Club. Under their
direction the front nine holes were
built along with extensive renovations
to the existing back nine holes, the driving range and the
irrigation system. Bent grass fairways were planted and
the course opened in June of 1990.
Crumpin-Fox is a captivating
blend of mountain and
parkland golf. Most holes are

the fairways or greens. Variety

Crumpin-Fox, no two holes are alike. You will encounter
a couple of stunning short par fours, a short par five, a
Redan-style par three, and an all-carry par three (with
bailout room to the right) while
traversing terrain that alternately
dips and rises. Rock outcroppings,
tall trees-a few of which haunt the
center of fairways-rolling creeks
and ponds challenge the best of
players. Most of the fairways are

wide and none are overly awkward afoot. You can run the
ball onto the greens and safely bail out away from trouble.
You will find yourself hitting all types of shots. The greens
putt true, but they can give you fits with their multiple
tiers, small mounds, and undulations—a common theme
among Robert Trent Jones Sr. designs. Stunning scenery,
well-placed tee boxes, the absence of forced carries, and
devoted service make Crumpin-Fox a friendly place for
women golfers as well.
The name of the Club was derived from the Bernardstonbased Crump Soda Company that was sold in 1853 to
Eli Fox; thus becoming the Crump & Fox Soda Company.
Many of these Soda bottles were unearthed throughout
the property during original construction.
Crumpin-Fox Club has a highly acclaimed sister course
Fox Hopyard Golf Club in East Haddam, Connecticut. Fox
Hopayrd was also designed and constructed by Roger
Rulewich under the direction of Bill Sandri. The mission of
both Fox Golf courses is to provide an atmosphere where
members, guests and friends feel at home. We strive to
offer a unique golf experience that is both enjoyable and
challenging, the kind of golf that you simply can’t get
enough of!
