Golf in Sprague

Sprague is a small town in New London County in southeastern Connecticut, where the Shetucket River and Baltic Mill village give the community a working-class industrial heritage within a largely rural setting. Mohegan Sun Country Club at Pautipaug Hill—taking its name from the Mohegan people indigenous to southeastern Connecticut—operates in this landscape as a facility that reflects the region's blend of native heritage, industrial history, and natural landscape. The Mohegan Tribe's significant presence in southeastern Connecticut, anchored by Mohegan Sun in nearby Uncasville, has shaped the economy and cultural identity of the region, and the golf club name reflects an acknowledgment of indigenous heritage in a corner of Connecticut where that heritage remains actively present and economically significant.
