Golf in Hope Valley

Hope Valley is a village in Hopkinton in the southwestern corner of Rhode Island, where the Wood River and Pawcatuck River corridors create an ecologically rich landscape. The village grew as a mill community in the nineteenth century and today serves as a commercial center for the sparsely populated Hopkinton township. The Arcadia Management Area to the north and the Wood River to the east provide exceptional trout fishing, hiking, and wildlife viewing. Hopkinton's position at the intersection of Routes 3 and 138 makes Hope Valley accessible from both the Connecticut border and the South County coast. The Wood River's exceptional water quality, sustained by the forested Arcadia watershed, has made it a premier trout fishery and a symbol of Rhode Island's conservation successes.
