History
The club was founded in 1928 as Middletown Golf Club and became Edgewood Country Club in 1934. In the early 1980s it was bought by the PGA Tour. The golf course was redesigned to TPC standards by renowned golf course architect Pete Dye, and reopened as the "TPC of Connecticut" in 1984. The course underwent further remodelling in 1989, this time by Bobby Weed in consultation with tour pros Howard Twitty and Roger Maltbie, and renamed the TPC at River Highlands.[2]
Course record
Amateur Patrick Cantlay, a 19-year-old collegian from UCLA, set the course record of 60 at the Travelers Championship on June 24, 2011.[3] The previous record of 61 was co-held by five PGA Tour pros: Kirk Triplett, Phil Mickelson, Scott Verplank, Brad Faxon, Charley Hoffman and Kenny Perry.[2]
