Decent course, terrible service.

Great course, generally enjoy playing here but the club house staff make it real easy to decide to play elsewhere. Usually the club house staff is mediocre at best but during my last round the guy working the front desk had such a bad attitude. I almost felt as if he didn’t want me to play there? Definitely didn’t feel welcomed.

Nope

Never will play here again. Terrible ranger. Terrible clubhouse staff. They're rude. Don't play here. They will not accommodate anyone. Good luck playing a round under five hours.

Spend some money!

The course is overpriced for the amenities provided. If you have never played there, you will surely get turned around several times as tee boxes are not marked. Parking lot and cart paths will tax your vehicle and cart. Clubhouse is outdated. Fine for a discounted round, but expect to spend well over 5 hours out on the course, as pace of play is slow and holes are backed up often.

Not nice

I was visiting my Sister in the RI Hospital and thought i play golf after our visit at this place because it was close to the hospital instead of driving an hour and going to dinner late, Bad idea and we had no indication that a am tournament and pm tournament was going on we tee off late no big deal really until we found out the tourney was every ones ball just Bad who does that? no carts at first but we got one, the round took 5 hrs and 40 min and golf now had no idea. I was watching people spray shots everywhere 2 groups & more in front of my wife and i, it should have been scramble, come on golf course what the wrong? What are you thinking? My wife and i headed home and sat to dinner at 9:15 our tee time was 2:00 pm.

Some other than me needs a head exam.

Bad , Bad , Bad, Just money hungry people that's all i have to stay.

Classic Donald Ross

Spectacular layout...true test of golf tee to green. A gem hidden in the hills of Providence. The greens were immaculate and fairways were in great shape...that's the key to playing this course...stay in the fairways!!...The rough is punitive. Overall, a great and fair test of golf.

Jewel of Providence

A Donald Ross true original, restored by current Leasee to original blue prints, this is a must play for the true golfer. Extremely playable where length is rewarded, but don't go over the greens. Better to play as Ross intended, with a bump and run for an approach. Well priced, great conditions, and an historical course played by the likes of Ben Hogan and Gene Serazen.

Hard to understand why this reviewer saw poor fairways. They're green and watered and perfect. Go off the fairway and its a different story. Maybe that is what they meant.

late tee time

was told we had to wait 1/2 hour to tee off because the tournament that went off at 8:15am went off late...our tee time was almost 5 hours later - I can't believe that all the subsequent tee times went off late because of that... no apologies, no discount for waiting. I won't rush back.

Why would you wait around 5 hours to tee off? Something doesn't seem right with this review.

Based on when they played, the greens had recently been aerated. Not a time to judge a course. Now, in late June, they are beautiful.

Good news for this reviewer, the state of RI pays nothing for this course. In fact, neither does the city. It's leased to a private operator. Conditions are excellent, not sure what the reviewer was referring to.

Oasis in a Urban Jungle

Great little course tucked away in an urban setting. Once on it, you many times you forget you're surrounded by a major city.

Nice course with some challenging holes with elevation, blind shots, and hazards. Fairways in great shape. My only complaint was the the punched several holes and did not fill them. Consequently these greens were "unplayable". This was for 3 out of the 18.

I played with another gentleman who said when the greens come in a little more, they play well.

Overall, great experience. Will play again and worth the $.

Triggs

Golf course was in good shape seeing it's early in the year. It's a little soggy in areas due to rain. Greens are pretty hard and hard to hold shots but they are fast putting. The greens are being aerated so they should soften up but it will take a few weeks to have nice smooth greens again.

A mess

Although it is early in the season, general clean up shouldn't be the courses problem.

Great course

Great course, friendly staff, challenging holes. The greens were in great shape and overall the course was too. A couple of soupy spots but that is normal after the snow we have received. Will definitely be back this year

Winter Golf

Played at Triggs for the first time this year! Course is open year round which is great for the hard core golfers out there. Due to the wet February the course was pretty wet & muddy in places which I expected so didn't mind. We walked but was surprised they were letting people play with carts. By the end of the day the sun came out & it was beautiful. We only did the front nine but enjoyed it. Nice long course. Greens were in good shape considering it was still winter. Pro working the Pro Shop was very friendly and helpful. People at the Bar likewise. In fact, everyone we met was so pleasant. Would definitely go back again.
