About this course

Firefly Golf Course in Seekonk, Massachusetts, represents a collaboration between architect Don Hoeing and LPGA Hall of Famer Joanne Carner. The course occupies land in southeastern Massachusetts, near the Rhode Island border in a region characterized by mixed woodlands and moderate terrain typical of the coastal New England landscape. The design reflects both Hoeing's architectural approach and Carner's competitive playing experience, though the course serves primarily as a daily-fee facility accessible to the public. The routing works through a combination of wooded corridors and more open areas, with elevation changes that are modest but sufficient to create variety in shot-making demands. Water features come into play on several holes, and the layout incorporates strategic bunkering that requires thoughtful course management. The design balances challenge for accomplished players with playability for recreational golfers, a common objective in public-access courses from this era. Firefly operates as a municipal facility serving the greater Providence and southeastern Massachusetts golf market. The course provides a straightforward golf experience without extensive amenities, focusing on the core offering of the layout itself. Its location makes it a convenient option for golfers in the densely populated corridor between Providence and the South Coast region of Massachusetts, where public golf access serves a practical need for the local golfing community.

Getting there

The journey to Firefly Golf Course begins at T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island (PVD), a mere twenty minutes south, or alternatively via Boston Logan International (BOS) for those arriving from further afield, followed by a straightforward ninety-minute drive southwest through the rolling Rhode Island countryside. The final approach winds through the quiet villages and wooded terrain of the Massachusetts-Rhode Island border, where the landscape shifts from suburban sprawl to the more pastoral character of Seekonk's gently undulating terrain. As you turn onto the club's drive, the manicured fairways and distinctive design emerge from the New England woodland, offering a serene arrival that feels worlds away from the coastal bustle of Providence, despite its proximity to the region's commercial heart.
