Golf in Groton

Groton is a New London County city on the Thames River facing New London, home to the Naval Submarine Base New London—the nation's oldest submarine base—and the Electric Boat submarine construction facility. Shennecossett Golf Course occupies the historic position of Groton's primary golf venue, managed by the University of Connecticut and open to the public in a setting near the submarine base that has served the military, academic, and civilian communities of the Thames River valley for over a century. The town's dual identity—as the home of the Electric Boat submarine construction facility and as a residential community with its own civic infrastructure—gives Groton a complexity of character that distinguishes it from more purely residential communities on the southeastern Connecticut coast.
