Willow Valley DGC - West Kingston, RI

Couldn't find a thread for this course so I made one. I've copied this info from the tournament thread and edited out tourney-specific info.

parking for the course is in the lot in front the barn, follow the dirt road(on foot only) up past the house and to the left there is signage the rest of the way, waiver and pay box at the first tee
,par for the current layout(there have been some tweaks) stands at 59 with 5 legitimate par 4's, any other questions regarding access to the course directions or whatnot my cell 727-641-1246 and the address is 370 Hillsdale rd Richmond RI use the lower drive way in front the barn(and park there also) and have fun!!

Played here on Sunday and had the course to ourselves. Awesomely large rock outcrops throughout the course. Great use of elevation. Very little brush to lose discs for such a low traffic course. Beautiful and informative hand painted slate tee signs. Next tee arrows. Well worth the $5 and drive from CT and MA. Head over to the Cornerstone Pub for grub and drinks after or take a dip at Beach Pond State Park. Reminds me of The General, Crane Hill, and Dacey at times. Thanks Norm!

Update , I have spread crushed blue stone on all the tee's , it is doing a really good job keeping them nice and grippy and solid , also the signage will be out by the weekend for all the new holes [19 thru 27] which are playable for now and soon to be completed .
