This $20, No Tee Time, Walk-Up Only, New England Golf Course is One of the Oldest in the USA
Ahhh, golf...the hobby nearly all men start getting into once they graduate from video games (yes, I know a lot of women play the sport too).
Until about two years ago, I never understood the "hype" around golf. First and foremost, it is incredibly expensive. From the clubs, losing expensive golf balls, and then just booking a $100 round, you spend a LOT of money on this hobby.
But it is not about the money. The sport (hobby) is about competing with other competitors around the world. It is about getting together with 4, 8, or 20 of your pals on a Saturday morning to drink beers and spend money together.
It is important to know that not all golf courses are expensive. There ARE, in fact, courses that are reasonably priced, making the golf round even more enjoyable.
One particular golf course in New England is only $20 to play, and it is one of the most unique and oldest courses in the country. The course is kept in great condition, despite the low price point. And they
Jamestown Golf Course, Jamestown, RI
The 9-hole Jamestown Golf Course first opened in 1895, making it 130 years old, and one of the oldest in the country, according to the Jamestown Golf Course website.
The best feature of this course is the no-reservation / no tee time system. Most golf courses require players to book and pay before playing the round. The tee time system helps most courses prevent overcrowding and slow pace of play.
At Jamestown Golf Course, however, there are no tee times. Instead, you show up, put your name on a list, and wait for your name to be called. Instead of overcrowding, it creates a fun pre-round environment.
Most players hang around, warm up while they wait, and have a pre-round beverage. Then, after waiting for 30 minutes or so, your group will be called.
