Our Story


Gillette Ridge was named to honor Francis Gillette, a local 19th century reformer, politician and business leader, whose house still stands on the site.

Legendary golfer and world renowned architect Arnold Palmer crafted Gillette Ridge to capitalize on the site’s natural beauty. Streams, lakes, elevation changes, and mature trees are all part of this tremendous golf experience. Like Palmer himself, Gillette Ridge is a bold and daring design that has raised golf in Hartford to new and exciting levels.

Gillette Ridge hosted the LPGA Futures Tour Cigna Golf Classic from 2005-2008 and the PGA Tour Travelers Championship Qualifier from 2010-2012.  We are proud of our story and are constantly looking to make adjustments and improvements that will enhance the experience for golfers and patrons of all ages and skill levels.  We are excited about the changes made this year and would love for you to join in the experience.
