CONNECTICUT CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE

River Ridge Golf Course is an 18 hole-par 72 championship golf course which opened in May of 1999. We pride ourselves on our well-manicured and carefully maintained course, which features a tee-to-green watering system, and many player friendly amenities. The first three holes are built on an open space that was formerly an apple orchard. The other 15 holes are characterized by rolling hills and scenic vistas that present various challenges to golfers of all skill levels. River Ridge is available for golf outings of any size – our Pro Shop staff would be happy to help you make arrangements, or to assist in making your golf experience a memorable one.

    Par 5

    Green is 22 yards wide
    30 yards deep

    Par 3

    Green is 22 yards wide
    23 yards deep
    Handicap 18/18

    This short par 3 is the easiest hole on the course. The green is fairly deep, so take plenty of club. Don't let the yardage fool you, errant shots can cost you strokes!

    Hole #12

    Par 4

    Green is 27 yards wide
    36 yards deep
    Handicap 4/6

    Hole #13

    Par 4

    Green is 22 yards wide
    30 yards deep

    Par 3

    Green is 24 yards wide
    29 yards deep
    Handicap 16/16

    Hole 17 Tees

    This par 3 offers some length depending on the tee box. There is a fairway to accept short shots. With a deep green, landing short and chipping for your up and down is not a bad option. The water sites far enough from the green to to be a factor.
