River Ridge Golf Course
About River Ridge Golf Course
River Ridge Golf Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout in Jewett City that opened in May 1999. The course is maintained with a tee-to-green watering system.
The opening three holes occupy open ground that was once an apple orchard, while the remaining 15 run through rolling hills with scenic views, offering a range of challenges for golfers of differing abilities. Fairway bunkering figures into play on the early holes, where accurate tee shots set up mid- to long-iron approaches.
A pro shop is on site, and the staff can assist in arranging golf outings of any size.
