I’m planning a golf trip to Rhode Island soon and I’m curious to know what the best public golf courses are. I’ve heard a lot about some popular places, but I want to get the inside scoop from those who have actually played there.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Course Quality: I want to play on well-maintained courses with good layouts.
  • Accessibility: It’s important that these courses are public and easy to access.
  • Atmosphere: I’m looking for courses with a welcoming vibe, not too pretentious.

Places I’ve Heard About:

  • TPC Boston: Known for its beautiful scenery and challenging holes.
  • Scarborough Beach Golf Links: Supposedly has great ocean views.
  • Cranston Country Club: I’ve seen it recommended for its friendly staff and relaxed environment.

Questions for You:

  • What courses would you recommend and why?
  • Are there hidden gems that aren’t too well-known?
  • How are the prices for these courses? I’d like to manage my budget during the trip.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can share! Looking forward to hitting the links in Rhode Island!

I highly recommend Twin Rivers Golf Club! The course is well-maintained and has some challenging holes. The staff is friendly too, which makes for a great experience.

I’ve played Twin Rivers several times, and I agree! The 18th hole is particularly memorable. What other courses do you think compare?

If you’re looking for something special, check out The Point Judith Country Club. The views are amazing, especially on a clear day!

I’ve heard a lot about Point Judith! Is it hard to get a tee time there?

I used to have trouble getting a tee time at Point Judith, but it seems easier now. Definitely worth trying! Have you guys checked out Triggs Memorial Golf Course? It’s a gem!

Triggs Memorial is great! The layout is fun and the price is very reasonable. Perfect for a casual round with friends.

I’ve played Triggs before! It can get busy on weekends, though. What are other good options for public courses?

You can’t go wrong with the North Kingstown Golf Course. It’s approachable for all skill levels, and the pricing is fair. Plus, they often have discounts for locals!

North Kingstown is excellent! Their greens are well-kept, making for a smooth putting experience. What about the accessibility for beginners?

I think most public courses in RI are beginner-friendly. With lessons and clinics available, it’s a great way to learn!

Don’t forget about Jamestown Golf Course! It’s scenic and less crowded. A perfect place if you want to relax and take your time on the course.

Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for affordable public golf courses in Rhode Island. Any recommendations?

I love Goddard Memorial State Park! It’s well-maintained and pretty affordable, especially for a public course.

15

I second Goddard Memorial! Plus, they often have discounts during the weekdays. Anyone here tried their twilight rates?

16

Yes! Twilight rates are great - they can save you a bit of cash if you’re playing after 4 PM.
