Golf in Harmony

Harmony is a small village in Glocester, in the Rhode Island highlands north of the Scituate Reservoir watershed. The village grew around a nineteenth-century mill site on the Ponaganset River, one of several water-powered industrial settlements that once scattered through the northwestern uplands. Today Harmony is known primarily as a quiet residential community with an organic farm market that draws visitors from across the Providence metro. The surrounding landscape of Glocester is among the most preserved in the state, with the reservoir watershed protection zone limiting development and maintaining the forested character. The Ponaganset Forest and adjacent Glocester management areas create a greenbelt that reinforces Harmony's character as one of the most genuinely rural villages in northern Rhode Island.
