Triggs Memorial Golf Course

What Triggs Memorial Golf Course does

Triggs Memorial Golf Course is a single-location, 18-hole public golf facility located at 1533 Chalkstone Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island, operating on the former 140-acre Obadiah Brown Farm. Designed by Donald Ross and opened in spring 1932, the course is the only true public Donald Ross-designed course in Rhode Island and has been managed by FCG Associates since spring 1990, when the course was restored to its original Ross design using original plans. The facility follows natural contours with strategically bunkered greens and is noted for difficult par 4s, short par 5s, and four demanding par 3s, with tee yardages ranging from 5,374 (Red) to 6,588 (Blue).

The business operates a multi-revenue-stream model: (i) tiered green fees and cart rentals ranging from $24 twilight 9-hole walking to $87 weekend 18-hole-with-cart packages, with senior and Providence-resident discounts; (ii) on-site food and beverage through McCormick's at Triggs, operated by Keith Allcock; (iii) pro shop merchandise; (iv) corporate and charity tournament hosting at 100+ events annually for groups of 20-144 players at $80/player plus banquet options; (v) golf instruction at the Learning Center headed by PGA Professional Bob Tramonti, including private lessons, video swing analysis via the Digital V1 Coaching System, and women's instructional clinics; and (vi) the Triggs Players Club Rewards Program offering 5% back on purchases. Tee time reservations are processed through foreUP Software, and the company markets via its website, Facebook, Google Business Profile, Yelp, TripAdvisor, email newsletter, and earned media in Golf.com, Golf Magazine, and Links Magazine.

The company is privately held, founded in 1932, domiciled in Rhode Island, USA, and serves individual public golfers, corporate and charity tournament organizers, the Triggs Ladies Inner Club (the oldest and largest women's inner club in Rhode Island, established 1972), and instructional students across Rhode Island and broader Southern New England.
