Cedar Ridge Golf Course

Cedar Ridge Golf Course is a public facility located in East Lyme, Connecticut, a coastal town in New London County along Long Island Sound. The course serves the southeastern Connecticut golfing community in a region known for its mix of coastal and inland terrain. East Lyme sits between the more densely populated areas of New London and the Rhode Island border, offering golfers access to a layout shaped by the rolling topography characteristic of this part of New England. The course occupies land that features the elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of Connecticut's inland geography. Players encounter holes routed through stands of mature trees, with fairways that move across varied terrain rather than flat, open ground. The design incorporates natural features and requires navigation of slopes and doglegs that reflect the property's original contours. Water features and bunkers provide additional strategic elements throughout the round. As a public course, Cedar Ridge accommodates a broad range of golfers, from locals playing regular rounds to visitors exploring the area's golf options. The facility operates with the accessibility and pace typical of municipal and daily-fee courses in Connecticut, where public golf serves as an important recreational outlet. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without the formality or exclusivity associated with private clubs, fitting into the practical tradition of New England public golf facilities that prioritize playability and community access.
