Triggs Named One of 14 Best Municipal Golf Courses in U.S.
Thursday, August 06, 2020
It's not every day that Triggs gets mentioned in the same breath as Bethpage Black and Torrey Pines.
This week, Josh Sens with Golf.com tapped the Providence golf course in his list of the "14 of the best municipal golf courses you can play in the United States."
"The list is not meant to stand as a definitive ranking but as a compilation of 14 must-play tax payer-funded tracks," said Sens. "They are courses that stand out for their quality, their history, their affordability or their good old-fashioned muni quirks. Or some combination of all of the above."

Golf Taps Triggs
Sens writes of Triggs
You can hardly swing a 9-iron around our smallest state without knocking up against a great Donald Ross design.
Like many munis, Triggs has endured maintenance up and downs throughout the decades, but its bones have always been top-notch, with small, deftly bunkered greens and nuanced doglegs on holes set seamlessly into the contours of the land.
