Ridgefield's 18-hole public golf course.  

Ridgefield is situated in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains and is a picturesque New England community with an abundance of town amenities. In 2009 Connecticut Magazine chose it as the No. 1 place to live in Connecticut for towns with a population of 15,000 to 25,000. Its charming main street, stretching over a mile, features Victorian homes, majestic churches, museums, boutiques and restaurants. The town has gone to great lengths to preserve its natural beauty. It has 5,200 acres of public open spaces, which accounts for 23% of the town’s overall land, and its residents enjoy a number of large parks and lakes.
