Review: Windmill Hill Golf Course

February 11, 2017

While the slow round definitely soured my experience here, Windmill Hill is an affordable, well-designed executive course I recommend checking out if you need some iron practice. … More Review: Windmill Hill Golf Course

Review: West Warwick Country Club

February 4, 2017

Relatively underrated, West Warwick features private course conditions and a challenging 9-hole set-up. It’s on par with nearby Midville and is definitely a course to try if you’re looking to play somewhere new. … More Review: West Warwick Country Club

Review: Rhode Island Children’s Golf Course at Washington Village

February 3, 2017

Well-kept and short, RICGC at Washington Village went through many changes throughout the years to adapt, but in the end fell short, and was forced to close.  … More Review: Rhode Island Children’s Golf Course at Washington Village

Review: Valley Country Club

January 19, 2017

Valley isn’t an elite private course by any means, but it is a fun, challenging layout with some memorable holes. I recommend playing this well-kept course if you get a chance. … More Review: Valley Country Club

Review: Triggs Memorial Golf Course

January 6, 2017

The urban Triggs is a classic Donald Ross design and easily the best public course in the Providence area. With that being said, glacial pace of play and virtually no amenities leave me always feeling a bit disappointed. … More Review: Triggs Memorial Golf Course

Review: Silver Spring Golf Course

December 29, 2016

While a decent course for beginners or those on a budget, Silver Spring’s confusing at best and dangerous at worst layout renders it a course to skip. … More Review: Silver Spring Golf Course

Review: Rose Hill Golf Club

December 24, 2016

It’s hard for me to rank an executive course highly, but make no mistake: Rose Hill is one of the better executive courses out there. This challenging, well-conditioned course is a fun round and one I can recommend to anyone that wants to get some iron practice in. … More Review: Rose Hill Golf Club

Review: Rolling Greens Golf Course

December 22, 2016

Rolling Greens lags behind several good nearby public courses in pretty much every category and is not worth a play in my opinion. … More Review: Rolling Greens Golf Course

Review: Richmond Country Club

December 12, 2016

Enjoyable but a tad bit goofy, Richmond truly feels like a course taken from the Carolinas with tall pines lining the fairways. It is in decent shape, affordable, and should be in any Rhode Islander’s public course rotation. … More Review: Richmond Country Club

Review: Quidnessett Country Club

December 2, 2016

The views, amenities, and conditions at Quidnessett are fantastic, but a pedestrian Cornish design keeps it from being one of Rhode Island’s elite courses. Nonetheless, it’s a very solid course that I recommend if you get an opportunity to play it. … More Review: Quidnessett Country Club

Review now up for Mid Pines Golf Club! Mid Pines is a great public course in the Pinehurst area designed by Donald Ross in 1921 and renovated by Kyle Franz in 2013. A perennial top 100 public course in the US, this layout features excellent greens and a number of world-class holes (especially its par fours).
The 337 yard 10th hole at We-Ko-Pa Saguaro is a really fun risk/rewark hole that features two templates: a Reverse Cape on the teeshot and Lion’s Mouth by the green. This is certainly one of the easier holes out there and one of several holes on the course that provides the golfer numerous options.
Had the fortune of playing We-Ko-Pa’s Saguaro Course last Spring, the first round for me in Arizona. Known as one of the top courses in the blossoming Scottsdale golf scene, this Coore/Crenshaw design is thoroughly enjoyable with minimal houses, an easily walkable, intimate routing, and plenty of strategy and variety. The conditioning and scenery were also fantastic.
The 126 yard 9th hole is Cabot Cliffs’ shortest hole. A fine hole in its own right, this short one-shotter features a front-to-back sloped green with a giant bunker short and cliffs long. This hole is perhaps the course’s only routing blemish as the 8th green is near the 9th and you have to walk the length of the hole backwards to reach the teebox.
The oldest public course in New Jersey, Weequahic Golf Course was originally 9 holes built by Baltusrol Pro George Low in 1913. In 1969, Hal Purdy lengthened the course to a full 18 holes. At just over 5700 yards, this par 70 plays more difficult than you’d expect with small greens, tight fairways, and a hilly terrain. The course is located in South Newark and is operated by Essex County along with classics Francis Byrne and Hendricks Field. This has to be one of the better and more robust muni systems in America. Although my least favorite of the three, Weequahic offers strong value and a more than adequate layout for public golfers in the New York metro area.
The 470 yard par 4 17th is one of my favorite holes at Cascata as a beautiful sweeping, downhill dogleg left. Longer hitters can cut the corner over the hills and leave a shorter approach into a back-to-front sloped green. Par is a great score here.
