Triggs Memorial Golf Course

Let me preface this review by saying I am not a speed golfer, but I can’t stand waiting to hit every shot. There is a pace to golf that puts you into a rhythm and that was nonexistent today at Triggs.

I was paired up with another twosome as a single. We were keeping pace with the foursome in front of us and waiting with them on every tee because of two groups who likely never played a serious round before. The twosome I was with left at the turn and I joined the foursome and we played as five. We were now in between the two awful groups and still on the heels of the foursome in front of us. Literally waited on every tee box and in every fairway.

I enjoyed the back nine more than the front, layout wise, but overall this is a fair track that doesn’t punish you for a bad shot. I’d go back but probably only if I had 5 hours to spare.

Triggs is a great Donald Ross course in the middle of Providence. It's one of the best layouts in Southern New England. It is never in great condition, because they have a a ground keeping staff of maybe 5 people. The greens are surprisingly true, They offer tee time every ten minutes'; which is a joke. Obviously, pace of play is affected. If you know this going in, you will love this classic Ross design.

The course doesn’t look like much from the practice area but once you get out there, really nice variety and excellent layout. Greens were recently aerated but still ran quite quick. I would highly recommend this golf course

Could be great track. Owned by the city of Providence so not a lot of money invested. Early in the season time should help in overall appearance. Donald Ross would roll over in his grave at what’s happen to this one time masterpiece.

Let's start with the staff... One word, embarrassing! Until something is done with the staff members in the clubhouse, this course will continue to lose players, as well as their money. Now the course, why not take some of the money paid for rounds, and put it back into the upkeep of the course? The fairways are Baron, the greens are not what they used to be. Seems to me, that upper management has dropped the ball. There are far better values in the area which result in playing on nicer courses. And, I will not even get into the pace of play here at this Marathon. Do yourself a favor, and avoid this location.

This is a course I'll be adding to my 2021 rotation, I plan on bringing a few suckers, oops I mean golf buddies who've never played it and take them for all they have. lol

Me and my cousin got a 430pm tee time @$35 per Golfnow, at the window(not allowed in pro shop due to COVID-19 which is understandable) had informed me since it was considered their “twilight” hours he only charged us $25, which was awesome... I golf once a week and I am not good whatsoever and my cousin is slightly worse but we do enjoy it, we keep pace and try to never be the reason for another group to get their play, we were paired up with two older players who definitely knew what they were doing, I felt the pressured us which I didn’t enjoy, we should’ve been able to play with just us 2, playing with 2 strangers out for a leisure round was unnerving to say the least, however the 3-some in front of us, walking mind you would never let us pass(all of us having carts)while they definitely were hitting 10+ times per hole, all in all I had fun, just wish I could’ve golfed with just me and my cousin who are both just getting into the sport which wasn’t a huge issue, the group ahead of us was an issue, not to mention there was a 2-some in front of the 3-some who only had teed off 20mins before my group did, will return for sure it’s nice being from Providence and having this course close by.

I have played this course many times. While it is conveniently located, and was designed by a famous golf course architect, the fact of the matter is that it is crammed into too small a parcel of land and the risk of errant shots coming from adjacent holes is quite high. I'd rather play elsewhere.

Wonderful course with great fairways and greens. Specifically placed fairway bunkers and fescues make for a bit of a challenge off the tee with nice rewards for striping it. Elevated and multilevel greens call for precise approach shots with some of those bunkers and fescue surrounding the green with tight pin locations. Would recommend to any golfer looking for a links style course with a challenge. Hit em straight!

Thunder storms never played, would not give money back .

Not happy
