Golf in Southington

Southington is a central Connecticut town in Hartford County with a history as both an apple-growing community and a precision manufacturing center, reflecting the dual agricultural-industrial identity that characterizes much of the Connecticut River valley hinterland. Hawk's Landing Golf Club provides the primary course-golf experience for the Southington community, while The Highland Golf Range serves the practice and instruction market in a town where both facilities are embedded in the same working community. The Apple Harvest Festival—one of Connecticut's largest fall agricultural events—brings visitors to Southington each October and reflects the persistence of agricultural identity in a community that has also hosted significant manufacturing employment along the Quinnipiac River corridor throughout the twentieth century.
