While in a beautiful location right on the bay, this course is one of the poorest designs in the state. Coupled with the mediocre conditions and average value, Harbor Lights is not a must-play. … More Review: Harbor Lights Golf & Country Club
While my least favorite of the courses on Aquidneck Island, Green Valley is an underrated public course that certainly holds its own. I highly recommend this course to any skilled golfer looking for a new challenge, as this is one of the most difficult courses in Rhode Island. … More Review: Green Valley Country Club
At Goddard Park, what you get is what you pay for. Because the course might be a Donald Ross design, the holes themselves are actually quite good but pace of play and conditioning move this course down on the list unless you’re really feeling a low-frills, old-school round of golf. … More Review: Goddard Memorial State Park Golf Course
This Cornish course certainly features some quirky designs but I’d be lying if I said these holes weren’t fun. If you want an affordable, well-conditioned, rural golfing experience in Rhode Island, Foster CC is your place. … More Review: Foster Country Club
A funky design full of blind shots, doglegs, and crazy green complexes have the local golfing community divided. However, Fenner Hill offers great value and is always in decent shape. I recommend you try it if you want a challenge. … More Review: Fenner Hill Golf Club
Fairlawn is a well-kept, affordable executive course that is definitely worth your time if you want to practice your iron play. … More Review: Fairlawn Golf Course
While conditioning and pace of play leave a lot to be desired, Exeter Country Club is an enjoyable course and one of Geoffrey Cornish’s better designs. This is an above average public course for the area and one I would recommend for its value and layout. … More Review: Exeter Country Club
While East Greenwich packs a punch few 9 hole courses in the area can, poor conditioning and overpricing make East Greenwich a course to avoid. … More Review: East Greenwich Golf Club
Crystal Lake is clearly the best public course in Rhode Island north of Providence. While not a must-play, the conditioning and beautiful scenery here make it a fun, worthwhile round. … More Review: Crystal Lake Golf Club
Cranston CC is the premier public course in central Rhode Island, but left me underwhelmed. While conditioning is solid, typically lackluster Cornish hole designs do little to make this course stand out. Cranston CC is firmly in the middle tier of Rhode Island public courses at a top tier price. … More Review: Cranston Country Club
