Cranston Country Club
Played On 06/17/2019Pristine conditions
Course is in excellent shape.
Was fortunate to be paired with a visitor playing his first round in RI (a 50 state bucket list tour nearly completed).
We had a great time and was able to photograph his great shot on the island green.

Great shape for this time of year in NE,
Aeration coming up next week
Due to geology the course takes a while to drain following significant precipitation- call ahead to make sure carts are ok

This excellent course gets even more challenging after a heavy rain. Traps become ponds, lakes form on the fairways, well waterproofed shoes are critical, greens were immaculate - slower than their normal very fast due to not being able to be groomed subsequent to heavy rains. Always a great course. Of local interest, in addition to deer on the course are 2 pairs of very well fed coyotes on the holes across the road. The good news about that is the lack of geese.

Played On 07/08/2018Operational management seriously lacking!!!!
Perfect weather, course in very good shape - management of pace of play non-existent!
Tried this course two different times - neither was a good experience!. Unlikely we will play here again.
1st time we had a 6:07 tee time. No one was at the club house when we arrived 30 minutes early to check in. Starters eventually arrived but with no keys to open the place up. The place was stacked with golfers with tee times waiting to play!
2nd time today had a 12:52 tee time. So far so good! Then the slowness epidemic took hold!
Eventually the group in front of us skipped around the group in from of them as there were at least 3 open holes in front of that group. To go from bad to worse the slow group not keeping ahead called ahead to the restaurant and has a person with zero knowledge of golf etiquette deliver beer to them - the deliver kid simply did not know golf and thought nothing of driving in front our group while teeing off!
NO RANGERS ON THE COURSE! ZERO EFFORT TO KEEP PACE OF PLAY! When frustration maxed out after 5 1/2+ hours we skipped the last hole and complained at the pro shop. The nice man there said "no rangers" on Sunday's but he offered that we said we could extend our misery and play a few more holes NO THANKS - we were pretty well fried by then and had enough of waiting after every shot!
It is a darn shame that there are no signs nor enforced course policy to play ahead. It is downright dangerous when after players have gone out of sight and you think it is "all clear" to see the group in front of you driving their carts back towards you to find their balls and hit again! When we asked the group in front to "move along" their very irate explanation was they were teaching folks to play golf - obviously golf etiquette and pace of play was not part of their curriculum. Picking up and moving ahead to keep up the group in front was a concept they could not grasp!
We can not in good conscience recommend this course!

Played On 05/02/2018A great day for golf!
This is a course that has been greatly improved over the years and it shows! Challenging pin placements on the crests of undulating greens. Course is rounding into shape - in very good condition for the time of year given the hard winter and early spring cold.

Played On 11/26/2017Windy challenge and very challenging greens!
Fabulous old course that no one beats up! Slick and subtle greens make 2 putts a victory!
Had a great time. No easy holes.

Played On 11/21/2017A 3 club wind!
The back 9 is much more challenging than the front 9 - that challenge was compounded by a gusting wind that moved the ball significantly in the air and on the greens. Back 9 greens were recently plug aerated and sanded which added to the challenge.

Great N.E. Fall colors on a challenging public with slick greens and some unusual holes on the back 9

Front nine is straight forward. Back nine is much more challenging and the greens are sloped requiring a deft touch. Great condition!

1st frost delay of the fall - once defrosted we got to play and had a good time

Played On 09/07/2017In good condition
Had a good time, the greenskeeper was very polite and stopped mowing while we were hitting- that should be the rule but it is not always the case at public courses. Ownership has made positive changes to the course and it shows.

Lack of rangers and agonizingly slow play made an otherwise perfect round much less than that. No course personnel to encourage playing it forward even though there were gaps no one was encouraging the pokeys to move along!!!
We appreciate your feedback! Thank you for the 4-stars. We hope to have you back in the future.
