Less than an hour from Providence, R.I., Mohegan Sun Golf Club at Pautipaug stands on its own as a serious golf course, much more than just an amenity for high rollers at Mohegan Sun's big-time entertainment facilities. The course reopened in 2012 following an upgrade led by Robert McNeil.
Like many other private country clubs, the International Golf Club & Resort 45 minutes west of Boston is in the midst of a transition. Once only a private club, the International has gotten creative in attracting new members and new business. While the Pines Course remains exclusively private, the club recently began offering public tee times after 9 a.m. on the Oaks Course, its newer, more forgiving Tom Fazio golf course.
The Oaks golf course has a more scenic and pleasant resort feel of the two designs at The International Golf Club & Resort, located roughly 45 miles west of Boston. Once word gets out that The Oaks is open to all, the Tom Fazio design could make a run at the nearby Red Tail Golf Club as Boston's premier public playground.
