Course, Spectator Map and Practice Facility
TPC River Highlands
TPC River Highlands is a par 70, 6,844 yard course located on the banks of the Connecticut River in Cromwell, Connecticut, 10 miles south of Hartford. The newest addition to the course is a 23-acre, state-of-the-art practice facility, which opened in June 2008 to rave reviews.
The course is a well-balanced golf test with a mixture of long and short holes. The most notable stretch is Nos. 15 - 17 which play around a four-acre lake. When you include the home hole, the four-hole collection is, according to PGA TOUR Professional Stewart Cink, "four of the most exciting finishing holes in a group anywhere in the world."
