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
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
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

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

Similar but superior to Walter Johnson’s only other design North Kingstown Golf Course, Potowomut GC is a fun course that offers a classic design, solid conditioning, and plenty of risk/reward holes. This course is definitely worth a play if you get the chance. … More Review: Potowomut Golf Club
