The classic Point Judith Country Club is one of the better courses in Rhode Island and one I highly recommend. Expect plenty of fun, excellent conditioning, and some great holes at this old-school gem. … More Review: Point Judith Country Club
Impeccably conditioned, Pocasset is an under-the-radar Donald Ross charmer located in Cape Cod. While on the shorter side, the course features challenging greens and is the type of course I could envision myself playing everyday. … More Review: Pocasset Golf Club
Perhaps the finest sub-par 70 course in the world, the charming Wannamoisett is undoubtedly among America’s finest parkland designs and a true architectural masterpiece on only 97 acres. Annual host of the prestigious Northeast Amateur, Wannamoisett prides itself on impeccable conditioning and features some of the best and most difficult greens in the country. This is an ideal members’ course and is absolutely worth a play if given the opportunity. … More Review: Wannamoisett Country Club
Winnapaug is a conflicting course for me. There’s a lot to like – a good Ross design, reasonable price, and location on the beautiful RI seashore. However, slow pace of play, mediocre conditioning, and lack of upkeep have never put Winnapaug at the top of my list. For visitors to Watch Hill/Westerly, Winnapaug is a solid option, but there are definitely better ones (Shennecossett, Lake of Isles, Meadow Brook) if you’re willing to drive a bit. … More Review: Winnapaug Country Club
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
Metacomet was a fantastic Donald Ross layout with excellent greens and strong conditions that unfortunately fell victim to the changing times and closed permanently in 2020 amidst much controversy. This was a top 10 course in Rhode Island. … More Review: Metacomet Country Club
Agawam is the prime example of how too much change is a bad thing when it comes to golf course design. Once one of the most exclusive and best Donald Ross designs in Rhode Island, Agawam has had more plastic surgery than any other course in the state and feels disjointed for this reason. Despite several good holes, don’t be surprised if you leave here feeling underwhelmed. … More Review: Agawam Hunt

Designed by Hugh Wilson (Merion’s architect) and Donald Ross in 1916, numerous Presidents have stayed at this resort. Most notably, this course hosted the … More Review: Seaview Resort & Spa (Bay)
While conditioning leaves a lot to be desired, the views, history, and classic Donald Ross design at Mount Washington are top notch and similar to what I imagine the Greenbrier feels like. I highly recommend a summer weekend at this gorgeous mountain retreat. … More Review: Mount Washington Course
While affordable and in decent shape, pace of play and the length of this course make it best suited for beginners. … More Review: Newton Commonwealth Golf Course
