Boulder
Hill Golf & Country Club
Wyoming, RI (401) 539-0300
Distance to Newpy: Approx 45 min
Tee Times: 5 days in advance (need credit

A hilly and tight course. Definitely need a cart.
Exeter

295-8212

Water hazards come into play on six holes. A covered bridge leads to the
fairway on hole #13, a 324-yard, par 4. "Golf Digest" rated this course as the
2nd "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996.
Green
Valley Country Club Portsmouth, RI (401)
849-2162
Distance to Newpy: 25 min. One of the
closest to Newpy
Tee times: 3 days in advance
Always long waits here. Rough is really long and think which is a pain in
the ass. Although "Golf Digest" rated this course as the 8th "Best
Public Course" in the state for 1996, I say it's one of my least favorite. The
front nine was built on flat terrain, while the back nine was built in a valley. Water
hazards (seven ponds) come into play on seven holes. Some of the large greens are
elevated and all have subtle breaks.
Jamestown Golf Course (9 holes)
Jamestown, RI (401) 423-9930
Distance to Newpy: 15 min. One of the
closest to Newpy
Tee times: none
Laurel
Lane Golf Course West
Kingston, RI (401) 783-3844
Tee times: 5 days in advance
Distance: 35 min
A favorite of the Liberty St gang. This serene course is teeming with
wildlife. The greens are somewhat small and flat, and the fairways are deceiving because
you can go out-of-bounds quite easily. The back nine is very hilly compared to the front
nine. In addition, water hazards come into play on three holes. "Golf Digest"
rated this course as the 7th "Best Public Course" in the state for 1996.
Montaup
Country Club Portsmouth, RI 508-379-9886
Distance to Newpy: 25 min
Tee Times: 1 day in advance
Have to know God to get a tee time at this semi-private course. A real
nice course if you can play it. Mornings are usually reserved for members. This
course has very mature, tight, tree-lined fairways. The terrain is gently rolling and
the undulating greens vary in size.
North
Kingstown Municipal Golf Club North Kingstown,
RI (401) 294-4051
Distance to Newpy: 45 min
Tee Times: 2 days in advance
This well-maintained course has greens that are small and contoured.
"Golf Digest" rated this course as the 3rd "Best Public Course" in
the state for 1996. In addition, the fairways are narrow and plush. Water hazards come
into play on many holes.

Richmond
Country Club Hope
Valley, RI (401) 364-9200

Distance to Newpy: 45 min
This well-bunkered course was sculptured from a forest, so there are
numerous pine trees that can alter your shots. The rough is thick and unforgiving. The
undulating greens are fast and putt true. "Golf Digest" rated this as the #1
"Best Public Course" in the state for 1996.
Swansea

Distance to Newpy: 45 min
