Getting there

The journey to Triggs Memorial Golf Course begins at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, a compact twenty-minute drive north into the heart of Providence. The route traces Interstate 95 before peeling west onto residential avenues that climb gently into the city's western neighborhoods, where the urban grid softens into tree-lined streets and the occasional glimpse of New England triple-deckers. As you approach, the landscape opens to reveal the rolling, parkland-style terrain of this historic municipal course - a quietly dignified public gem perched above the capital, where the democratic spirit of American golf has thrived since 1932.
