Gillette Ridge Golf Club, located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is a magnificent Arnold Palmer design that stands as a tribute to the traditions and challenges of golf. Crafted by the legendary golfer and world-renowned architect, the course, opened in 2004, capitalizes on the site’s natural beauty, featuring streams, lakes, and significant elevation changes. Palmer’s design philosophy at Gillette Ridge aimed to create a dynamic layout that tests all aspects of a golfer’s game while providing an aesthetically pleasing experience. The course is known for its tree-lined fairways, spectacular carries, and a variety of terrain that challenges and excites. While many holes present unique challenges, the par-5 second hole is often highlighted as a signature, offering a true risk-reward opportunity from a tee box with views of the Heublein Tower. Another memorable feature is the peninsula green, which was formerly the 18th hole and is now the 9th, demanding precision. Gillette Ridge is considered one of Palmer Course Design Company’s best creations, offering a challenging yet enjoyable round amidst a beautiful natural setting.
