Triggs Memorial Golf Course

For being a public course that sees a lot of rounds every year, I’m pleased with the condition of the course. If players remember to fix ball marks it would be even better. I will return many times!

On the 10th hole...one on the green, one waiting to hit to the short shot to the green, one in the mid fairway, one on the tee box, and two more groups waiting...when asked a regular..WHERE IS THE RANGER?...long time member stated..."...thats been a sore spot for YEARS between mgmt and players!"

...Yet, a simple couple of changes, based on PGA protocols, would make sense...playing ready golf is one(could see HONORS protocols visible on multi holes)...remind golfers the time to find a ball in the deep rough/and or trim it down a tad...

The fairways are good, greens quick...but rough and other areas need some attention...with all the rains, not one divot should provide insight...lot of brown edges, and massive tree still pending in front of greens...cart person MIA...how the GOLF Magazine rated this still intrigues after playing...

Best part, most of the folks that were in the back up and duo we played with, knew each other well...perhaps they have become accustomed to this condition...easy things to fix...Pro Shop would be among the first...at check in...but most of all, check the rates on the course vs Golf Now...if you are a senior

Great Classic DR layout! Very difficult playing out of rough as it’s very thick. Greens were rolling very true. Course was in good shape overall. Average pace of play. Would recommend playing here if you haven’t yet had the chance.

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.
