Eastman, an active and outdoor community in Grantham
Featuring over 3,600 acres of forestland and centered around the 335-acre Eastman Lake, Eastman is an expansive private golf course community that stretches through the towns of Grantham, Enfield and Springfield. The association, which highlights the themes of conservation and the outdoors, prides itself on maintaining the unspoiled beauty of the landscape. “People come here for different things,” says Lorie McClory, who is the Chief Marketing & Communications Officer at Eastman Community Association. “We have year-round golfers, snowbirds who come back in the winter for skiing, people who are into wildlife and conservation, and we have those who are here for the lake and the water sports. It’s a very inclusive community, and many move here because they are social people and are into the outdoors.”
