Designer: Unknown (1954)
Location: Hope Valley, Rhode Island
History: Owned by the Mashantucket Tribe and Foxwoods Resort and Casino until 2000, Lindhbrook fell into disrepair and closed in 2013.
Conditions: 5/10, When I played, conditions were better than expected considering there was an honor box. The greens were pretty slow but rolled true and the teeboxes weren’t in terrible shape. Since the course is closed now, however, wildlife has overgrown it.
Value: N/A, It was an honor box when I played and has since closed.

Hole Descriptions: Most of the holes here were pretty solid par threes ranging from 123 yards to 207 yards. The front 9 was much shorter with many short par threes. The most memorable hole on this side was the 8th at 190 yards. A creek crossed the fairway at about 170 yards, and two bunkers flanked the green. The back 9 started off with 3 short par threes but then featured some very difficult closing holes. I was a fan of the 18th, a strong 179 yard one-shotter that required a well-struck long iron over a valley the entire way to a tiny green protected by three bunkers.
General Comments: There was no range at Lindhbrook and pace of play was great when we played.
Verdict: Lindhbrook was at one point a pretty decent executive course but is now closed for business.
