Golf in Kingston

Kingston is a village and unincorporated community in South Kingstown, serving as the home of the University of Rhode Island's main campus. The university brings an academic energy to what would otherwise be a quiet agricultural community, with student housing, research facilities, and campus athletics coexisting with the surrounding South County landscape. Kingston village proper is a well-preserved eighteenth and nineteenth-century streetscape now occupied by cafes and small businesses that serve the university community. The surrounding South Kingstown township encompasses diverse terrain from the Narrow River estuary to the Usquepaug farmlands. The village's proximity to Narragansett's beaches — less than ten miles south via Route 138 — makes Kingston a practical base for exploring both the university campus and the South County coast.
