WeHa's Rockledge Goes Into Winter Mode Monday

Town of West Hartford

WEST HARTFORD, CT — Duffers have one more weekend to smack a little white ball around outside at the West Hartford-owned Rockledge Golf Course.

Then, town officials said Friday, the area of 289 S. Main St., West Hartford, will become a winter recreation area with no golf. The last day to golf at Rockledge Golf Course is Sunday, Dec. 3.

On Monday, Dec. 4, the course will open for recreational use during the winter months.

The winter trails will be available for jogging, walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, according to the Town of West Hartford.

Residents may bring their dogs on the course, but must follow the rules that apply to all parks and school yards year-round.

Guidelines include:

* Park only in the Rockledge Golf Club parking lot located at 289 S. Main St.

* Trails are open from dawn to dusk every day.

* Trails start and end at the Pro Shop.

* There are three marked trails: the yellow trail (0.6 miles), the red trail (1.6 miles); and the blue trail (2.2 miles). All three trails are marked with colored markers spaced 0.1 mile apart.

* Stay on the designated trails to avoid hazardous areas and prevent damage to the greens and tees. Do not cut across greens to reach other portions of the trails.

* Bicycles, snowmobiles, ATVs and motorized vehicles of any kind are not allowed.

* Dogs must be leashed at all times. Owners must have control over their dogs.

* Dog waste must be bagged and removed from the area.
