Golf in Plattsville

Plattsville is a village within the town of Fairfield in Fairfield County, home to H. Smith Richardson Golf Course and the H. Smith Richardson Driving Range. The golf course bears the name of a prominent Connecticut businessman and philanthropist who contributed significantly to Fairfield's public recreational infrastructure in the mid-twentieth century. Richardson Golf Course has long served as Fairfield's principal municipal facility, providing publicly accessible golf in a community where private clubs dominate much of the golf landscape along the Fairfield County shore. The driving range provides practice and instruction facilities that complement the main course, serving a population drawn from Fairfield's residential neighborhoods and the surrounding communities that rely on this public recreational resource in the Long Island Sound corridor.
