Almost 100 years after the Devereux Emmet-designed course at the Country Club of Farmington opened for play, architect Matt Dusenberry and superintendent Scott Ramsey (who spent 15 years at Yale) started an ambitious renovation/restoration project for the layout.
The following extract is from an article published in Golf Course Architecture in January 2020:
“We will be using Emmet’s 1921 plan and 1934 aerial photo as guidance for renovation and restoration improvements,” said Dusenberry. “The club has embarked on the first phases of the renovation by addressing removal of select groups of trees. Future improvements are being considered carefully and there will be a phased approach. This allows the club to limit disruption to play and be sensitive to capital expenditures.”
Dusenberry and Ramsay have previously worked together on the renovation of Keney Park golf course in Hartford, also in Connecticut. “It’s a masterful renovation and re-birth of a Devereux Emmet design and that experience translates well into our long-term improvement planning,” said green chair Geoff Manton.

It's said that Emmet visited many of the famous courses in the British Isles on behalf of C.B. Macdonald, sketching holes that would be used in the design of the National Golf Links of America.
