Golf in Meriden

Meriden is a New Haven County city in the central Connecticut plateau known as the Silver City for its silver-plated goods manufacturing—Meriden Britannia Company and the International Silver Company made the city the center of American silversmithing in the nineteenth century. Hunter Memorial Golf Course provides the Meriden community with municipal golf at a value price point in a city whose working-class heritage and central Connecticut position have shaped a practical, community-oriented approach to recreational facilities. The Hubbard Park amphitheater and the Castle Craig tower overlooking the Hanging Hills give Meriden a distinctive natural landmark—the traprock ridge feature that provides the city's most compelling visual identity in an otherwise urban landscape.
