Course Closed

Triggs was unexpectedly closed today due to winter weather conditions in Providence. Unable to contact the pro shop, drove by the course to witness the course conditions - snow covered, parking lot was empty, pro shop was closed.

IN IT FOR THE MONEY

I've played better, I've played worse. What I can't understand, is how it's ok to charge $55 for December golf, and not blow the fairways.
When you pipe a drive down the fairway, and end up having to drop a ball due to the amount of leaves in said fairways...unacceptable!

Greens just aerated

75% of greens were just aerated. Some of the fairways were in pretty rough shape. Otherwise a great course

A they gave me my lost phone back

Staff makes a golf track.
I left my phone in the cart.
They found me before I realized it.
Conditions impeccable.
ROSS gem. Greens moderate to slow but I get it. All consistent.
Super driving course.
Ross just says " hit it"
Par 3s are all all great.
200 bills or 155 ish.
Greens are super big and true. A 78 was a good score for me.

Donald Ross National Treasure in RI

Wanted to play this course after reading about it. Finally had the chance and it was well worth it! I was a single and got paired with two fellas who knew the course well which was helpful. One of the most enjoyable rounds I've had in a long time.

Staff very accomodating and courteous eventhough they still havent re-opened the pro shop since the Covid outbreak.

Course condition tee to green excellent! Greens were beautiful and true. Will definitely recommend and play again.

Pleased

For being a public course that sees a lot of rounds every year, I’m pleased with the condition of the course. If players remember to fix ball marks it would be even better. I will return many times!

Six groups

On the 10th hole...one on the green, one waiting to hit to the short shot to the green, one in the mid fairway, one on the tee box, and two more groups waiting...when asked a regular..WHERE IS THE RANGER?...long time member stated..."...thats been a sore spot for YEARS between mgmt and players!"

...Yet, a simple couple of changes, based on PGA protocols, would make sense...playing ready golf is one(could see HONORS protocols visible on multi holes)...remind golfers the time to find a ball in the deep rough/and or trim it down a tad...

The fairways are good, greens quick...but rough and other areas need some attention...with all the rains, not one divot should provide insight...lot of brown edges, and massive tree still pending in front of greens...cart person MIA...how the GOLF Magazine rated this still intrigues after playing...

Best part, most of the folks that were in the back up and duo we played with, knew each other well...perhaps they have become accustomed to this condition...easy things to fix...Pro Shop would be among the first...at check in...but most of all, check the rates on the course vs Golf Now...if you are a senior

Triggs! A must play.

Great Classic DR layout! Very difficult playing out of rough as it’s very thick. Greens were rolling very true. Course was in good shape overall. Average pace of play. Would recommend playing here if you haven’t yet had the chance.

Abysmally Slow Day

Let me preface this review by saying I am not a speed golfer, but I can’t stand waiting to hit every shot. There is a pace to golf that puts you into a rhythm and that was nonexistent today at Triggs.

I was paired up with another twosome as a single. We were keeping pace with the foursome in front of us and waiting with them on every tee because of two groups who likely never played a serious round before. The twosome I was with left at the turn and I joined the foursome and we played as five. We were now in between the two awful groups and still on the heels of the foursome in front of us. Literally waited on every tee box and in every fairway.

I enjoyed the back nine more than the front, layout wise, but overall this is a fair track that doesn’t punish you for a bad shot. I’d go back but probably only if I had 5 hours to spare.

Played Triggs recently in 4 hours 20 minutes. That said, it was because we were the first group off the tee. Otherwise if you start out after 8 or 9 AM, expect a 5 to 6 hour round. The one credible knock against Triggs is their inability to manage pace of play. It's surprising because I would wager that that is the leader in the club house of reasons why people question playing at Triggs. You can't beat the layout, the pricing, or the city based convenience. If only they would spread out tee times a bit AND teach a ranger or two how to encourage better pace of play, their long term reputation would grow considerably.
