Golf in Jewett City

Jewett City is a borough within Griswold, a New London County community in the Quinebaug River valley whose textile mill heritage—the Slater cotton mills were among the most significant in nineteenth-century Connecticut—has given the area a working-class character rooted in the industrial labor traditions of southeastern Connecticut. River Ridge Golf Course provides the Jewett City community with accessible daily-fee golf in the Quinebaug Valley landscape. The Quinebaug River's industrial heritage—the mill dams, the workers' housing rows, the commercial blocks built by textile prosperity—give Jewett City a historical depth that contemporary recreational facilities like River Ridge Golf Course serve alongside as modern amenities for a community with significant historical character.
