TPC River Highlands, formerly Middletown Golf Club (1928–1934), Edgewood Country Club (1934–1984), then the TPC of Connecticut , is a private golf club located in Cromwell, Connecticut which is a part of the Tournament Players Club network operated by the PGA Tour. Since 1984 it has been the venue for the tour's annual Travelers Championship, previously known as the Buick Championship & Greater Hartford Open.
The club was founded in 1928 as Middletown Golf Club. From 1934 it was known as Edgewood Country Club before being bought by the PGA Tour. The golf course was then redesigned to TPC standards by renowned golf course architect Pete Dye, and reopened as the TPC of Connecticut in 1984. In 1989 the course underwent further remodelling, this time by Bobby Weed in consultation with Howard Twitty and Roger Maltbie, and renamed the TPC at River Highlands.[1]
On June 24, 2011, amateur golfer Patrick Cantlay set a course record 60 at the Travelers Championship.[2]
