Blackledge Country Club

Blackledge Country Club grew into a 36-hole public facility on West Street in Hebron. Its first course, Anderson's Glen, known locally as the Old Course, was designed by Geoffrey Cornish and dates to 1964 in course listings. The second eighteen, Gilead Highlands, opened in 2000 and is credited to the firm of Cornish, Silva and Mungeam, with Mark Mungeam named as its designer; regulars call it the New Course. Gilead Highlands is a wooded parkland layout that measures 6,537 yards at par 72 from the back tees. It plays slightly shorter than Anderson's Glen but is widely considered the tougher of the two, with water features, a varied set of par 3s and par 5s, and a demanding opening par 4. Both courses take public tee times, giving Blackledge 36 holes of public golf in the countryside southeast of Hartford.
