Triggs review

Course was good, but it was very slow. We had to wait on almost every hole. The round took 4 hours and 45 minutes.

Why do I come here? Is it because I only live 5 minutes away? it seems like every time I come it's a song in the dance.

The website publishes twilight hours at 5 p.m. when I show up at 4:30 I'm told check back at 5:15. I checked back at 5:15 and I'm told to check with the ranger to see if the league is done. The ranger doesn't know so after waiting over an hour I decided to leave. 50% of the time I go there it's a song to dance so I don't think I'm going to go back again. There are better courses for better value if I drive 25 minutes away

Most public courses rely on leagues on weekday afternoons so this is not surprising. Best to make a tee time to avoid disappointments like this.

Great Course

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!

Not playing here again

Course is a dump, awful conditions, the sand is rocky and dense, there’s about 10 difference kinds of weeds growing all over the course, and every one of the staff members are miserable.

Great Hot Deal Course

I’ve lived in the providence area since birth and never knew this course was here. The size of it had me shocked. It’s a great challenging course for beginner to intermediate players. We got a great hot deal for 18 and a cart through Golfnow. The course was very busy upon arrival(Looked like some camps/leagues/tourneys)so the first 9 holes took a while but by the time we were at the 10th there was no one behind us nor in front for another 2 holes. There were a couple of back 9 fairways that were in rough shape but nonetheless still a great course with greens in pristine shape . I’m a golfer always looking for deals so I probably would not come to this course for full price for the 18 and a cart. But it was still a nice and fun course to play at!

Donald Ross Gem

This Donald Ross design is one thing especially as I have played there in the past and knew what to expect...only the conditions I thought would be a surprise...but I was wrong...the best surprise was the outstandingly courteous and caring staff...they wanted the best experience possible and despite issues with the players in my group who were a bit challenged to say the least...everything turned out great in the end despite having to partially fund one of the guys in our foursome because there was" mis-communication" with his friend over reservations. The staff was awesome in smoothing over everything...thank you all...you guys are great! Hope I get the chance to come back as I really like Triggs for surprising me with kindness.

Fathers Day treat

It was my first time playing Triggs but it was a pleasant surprise. The course was in great shape with a wonderful layout. If you’ve never played here it can be a little tricky on certain holes because the scorecard has zero description of layout. Luckily we were paired up with regulars to make the round a little more enjoyable. I’d give it a 5 star if they lady in the pro shop wasn’t overwhelmed and a bit rude as well as the ranger removing the flag on 18 as I was about to hit my approach shot. If you can get a hot deal for this course under $40,it’s well worth the money.

Nice course

Overall very nice course; the greens were aerated which we were not aware of. It is a challenging course and I enjoyed playing.

Wet weather

Wet & Soggy

With all the rain and cloudy weather this spring it's a wonder the course was in as good a condition as it was. We only got in 13 holes. It rained as usual. The greens and the fairways were good.

Great course. Sand in bunkers were hard and crusty. Hard to hit a bunker shot. Bladed two shots over green because sand wedge bounced off hard sand. But overall great course.
