Gillette Ridge Golf Club, Golf course in Bloomfield, US.
Gillette Ridge Golf Club is an 18-hole course set across roughly 7191 yards of natural wetlands and forests. The fairways and greens are laid with bent grass, and the full course plays to a par of 72.
The course was established in 2004 and designed by Palmer Course Design Company. Its name honors Francis Gillette, a 19th-century reformer and politician from the local area.
The club enforces a dress code requiring proper golf attire and forbids metal spikes to protect the course grounds. These rules shape how golfers interact and move through the space every day.
Players can book tee times online through the club's reservation system and use practice facilities including a driving range, pitching area, and putting green. The course is well-equipped for golfers of all skill levels.
The par-5 second hole stands out as a pivotal design feature that demands careful distance control and precision from players. This hole reveals the strategic thinking behind the overall course layout.
