As long as you have decent distance off the tee and a good mid-iron game you can tear this place up. Greens are pure and hold the ball exceptionally well. Lots of subtle ridges and break in the greens. Fun hazards and well placed bunkers make approach shots important.

Easily walkable, very quiet. Condition was excellent and there are a variety of holes that test lots of different shots. Plenty of length from the back at ~6700. Greens were rolling fast and true, and there were some really fun pin placements.

A challenging course that does a great job taking advantage of the natural terrain. The course was is great shape, unfortunately when I played the new clubhouse was still under construction but it looks like it will be nice.

Great municipal course. Greens are exceptional for any course let alone a muni Bunkers and tee boxes are sore spots as is pace on weekends later in the day and weekday evenings behind leagues.

Very nice greens. Solid layout with reachable par 5s and some tricky shots. Last 2 holes are very disappointing. It feels like the designers just ran out of space and just jammed two short par 4s with little memorable features to close out an otherwise fine course.

Good value, 50$ walking in height of summer. Interesting set up with many wide open holes and many very tight holes. Green complexes sloped and variable. A lot of blind shots and areas where you need public knowledge. Worth playing, but nothing special.

Much tougher than it seems. Gary in the pro shop is a legend. Greens aren’t perfect and they can trick you easily. Solid course for an amateur architect built in the 50s. Restaurant is amazing. Good value and must play if you visit Aquidneck island .
