Why we love this place
This is stadium golf at its most thrilling, where the drivable 15th and the water-lined 17th and 18th turn every Travelers Championship Sunday into fireworks. We love how a compact layout packs so much drama, giving weekend players a chance to walk in the footsteps of the tour's boldest closers.

About Tpc River Highlands
Golf on this bend of the Connecticut River dates to 1928, when the site opened as the Middletown Golf Club, later becoming Edgewood Country Club in 1934. The PGA Tour purchased the property in the early 1980s, and Pete Dye reworked nine holes, reopening it as the TPC of Connecticut in 1984. In 1989 Bobby Weed, consulting with tour players Howard Twitty and Roger Maltbie, remodeled and expanded the course into the stadium-style layout known today as TPC River Highlands. Its dramatic closing stretch, including the short, drivable 15th and the water-guarded 17th and 18th, produces regular late-round fireworks. The course is best known as the longtime host of the Travelers Championship, one of the tour's most popular summer stops, drawing elite fields to central Connecticut each June.
