N. Kingstown G.C. is also nice - at the Quonset Point base. Laurel
Lane G.C. is also supposed to be an excellent course, but I haven't
played there. Laurel Lane is 7mi past U.R.I. on rt 138.

| Laurel Lane is a well kept course with water in fairways. It's
a bit short, but offers a challenge because of the narrow (at
times) fairways, traps, and 2-3 holes with water hazards. I
like North Kingstown (Quonset Point) a litter better. Again,
it's a *very9 well manicured course with watered fairways. There
arer 5 par -3's, but the par 5's are fairly long, and many of
the par fours offer a good challenge. This course was built
for officer user ONLY when Quonset was in full miltary form.
Get there *early* on the weekends, or be prepared for a *long*
wait (this goes for Laurel Lane as well).
Cranston CC is also another choice. Nice course, well watered,
pretty long. Greens are *big* and fast. More expensive ($26 for
weekend), but it's nice.

| I second Cranston C.C.!! Nice track and real Green!!
It moves along pretty well, too...
Another course, Country View C.C. in Burriville R.I. ( (401) 568-7157)
is a nice little course. $22.00 Green fees on the weekend and
you definately can play it in 4 hours, even on the weekend. It has
a nice clubhouse and serve breakfast too!

| In Thompson CT Raceway CC. I'm not sure of the weekend rates. Mon -
Fri $23.50 (green fee, cart and lunch). I found the course in fair
shape, the greens were better than most public courses.

| Thanks to all - I'll look at these places on a map and pick one.
After the Father/Son Tourney is over, I'll post something about
the course we played. I can't promise to post scores - if they're
embarrassing, you won't see 'em.

Mike, I don't believe anyone mentioned TPC outside Hartford, where
the pro tour has a tournament. TPC course ususally let public play
if thet don't have anything going.

Well, we played Laurel Lane in West Kingston last weekend. It was
a pretty good layout, but a bit on the short side (5800 yds) and there
were a lot of holes with on-the-property out of bounds (a pet peeve of
mine that wouldn't be such a big deal if I could keep the drive in the
fairway!).
We waited for an hour for a tee time - got there at 9:00 and teed off
at 10:00. The round moved along pretty quickly and we finished in
about 4 hours.
Just fyi, greens fees on the weekend were $17, a fair price for a
decent course. Thanks to everyone who recommended a site for the
1993 Father/Son Tourney. Had a nice time even though I lost my shirt
to my Dad and father-in-law.
