Golf in Prospect

Prospect is a small hilltop town in New Haven County, positioned on elevated terrain at the center of a triangle formed by Waterbury, Naugatuck, and Cheshire, where the topography creates natural open spaces and the hilltop setting provides views across the Naugatuck Valley industrial corridor below. The town's relatively recent development—much of it post-war residential construction on land previously given to farming and woodland—gives Prospect a suburban character overlaid on a rural base. Highland Greens Golf Course occupies terrain that takes advantage of the elevation and open-space character that Prospect has maintained, serving golfers from the surrounding Naugatuck Valley communities who appreciate the hilltop setting as an alternative to the valley-floor facilities of the industrial towns below.
