Golf in Pawcatuck

Pawcatuck is a village within the town of Stonington, situated on the Pawcatuck River that forms the Connecticut-Rhode Island boundary—a location that gives the community a borderland character and close ties to the Westerly economy across the river. Elmridge Golf Course serves as the regional facility for this corner of southeastern Connecticut, drawing from both the Connecticut and Rhode Island communities that share the Pawcatuck River watershed. The village's position at the state line gives it a distinctive identity within Stonington's geography, operating with ties to Westerly's commercial district while maintaining the Connecticut community identity that distinguishes the area from the Rhode Island communities immediately to the east, creating an informal regional economy that the golf facility serves alongside both populations.
