Golf Courses in Rhode Island

Rhode Island is home to 42 named golf courses and country clubs documented in the U.S. Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System, a federal gazetteer of named geographic features. These facilities are distributed across 38 cities and 5 counties throughout the state.

Because the GNIS database catalogs named geographic features rather than current operating businesses, the directory functions as a partial and time-lagged snapshot of the state's golf landscape. Newly built or recently renamed courses may not yet be reflected in the federal record. Additionally, the GNIS database does not capture operational details such as public or private status, green fees, course layout, or membership requirements.

Those seeking to play at a specific Rhode Island course should use the directory as a locating tool—identifying courses by city and county—then contact the course directly or visit its website to confirm current hours of operation, current rates, and booking availability.

How to use the Rhode Island directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.
