A great round of golf shouldn't have to cost a fortune. Rhode Island is home to a fantastic selection of courses that offer excellent conditions, fun layouts, and great value. If you're looking for affordable golf, here are some of the best options in the state.

The Muni Masterpiece: Triggs Memorial

It's impossible to overstate the value at Triggs. For a municipal course rate, you get to play a genuine Donald Ross championship layout. It's one of the best deals in all of American golf. The course is challenging and full of history. It's the top of the list for any budget-conscious golfer who loves classic architecture.

The 9-Hole Gems: Jamestown and Exeter

Playing nine holes is a great way to save money and time. Jamestown Golf Course offers a quirky, scenic, and historic links-style experience for a very reasonable price. Exeter Country Club is a beautifully maintained 9-hole course (with different tees for a full 18) that provides a peaceful and enjoyable round in a rural setting.

The Local Favorites: Laurel Lane and Midville

Laurel Lane Country Club in West Kingston is known for its friendly atmosphere and excellent pace of play. It's a fun, well-maintained course that always offers great value. Midville Golf Club in West Warwick is another 9-hole favorite, with a flat, walkable layout that's perfect for beginners, juniors, and anyone looking for a relaxed, affordable round.

The All-Arounder: North Kingstown Golf Course
