Golf in Portland

Portland is positioned on the east bank of the Connecticut River across from Middletown, with a history shaped by the quarrying of brownstone—the distinctive Connecticut sandstone that built the brownstone townhouses of New York, Boston, and Hartford in the nineteenth century. The quarries that define Portland's history are preserved in the Brownstone Exploration and Adventure Park, which occupies former quarry pits as a recreational destination. Three golf facilities reflect Portland's depth of recreational infrastructure: Portland Golf Course, Portland Golf West, and Quarry Ridge Golf Course serving a community that combines its working industrial heritage with the Connecticut River landscape and the recreational traditions of a riverfront community with ample open land along the eastern bank of the state's defining waterway.
