One of the top courses for your money around

This is in my opinion one of the better courses in this area to play. Now I want to put this out there before anything else, I was a junior member here back in my early teens, this was my home course for my high school golf team, and now I am an associate member. So some people might see my review as a little one sided, but I can assure you that I truly love looking an studying golf course design so I will give my honest opinion of this course.
This course gets a lot of play through out the year but the condition of the course is always excellent. Fairways and greens are pure and the rough is just enough to make your wayward shots tricky, but it will not kill your round.
Hole layout is good, not great, but good. The first 3 holes are some of the more challenging opening holes around. The first hole is tight OB left with water short of the green. Hole 2 is a longish par 4 with bunkers and tree left and right of the landing area. And hole 3 is a long par 3 with the green sloping from back to front and OB tight left. The reason why I said that course layout is good not great is because of the final 2 holes. 17 and 18 feel like they are squeezed in and don't make for an enjoyable 2 holes. This course deserves a great finishing hole, and it just doesn't have it.
The views on this course are some of the best around. You get great views of Mt. Hope Bay on 5 green, 6 tee, 11 tee and green, and on 16. The 16th hole is arguably probably one of the better views on a golf course in RI.
Overall the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The emendates are average here. They have a nice club house and a nice dining and bar area with good food to go with it. There is a small practice green and bunker for short game work, and a bullpen for hitting longer irons, but you have to shag your own balls.
Overall I truly believe that this is one of the better public courses in RI to play. If there was a driving range and a better finishing hole I would say it would be hands down the best course. If you are around the area I would strongly advise to stop by and play a round. Prices are reasonable and worth every penny. I will also attach a picture I took one day when playing the 16th hole.
