Golf in North Providence

North Providence is a densely settled inner suburb on the northern edge of Providence, occupying a compact area between Providence and Lincoln along the Louisquisset Pike corridor. The town's postwar residential development was fueled by families leaving Providence's inner neighborhoods, and North Providence retains that first-ring suburban character — modest ranch homes, neighborhood churches, and small commercial strips. The town lacks the dramatic geographic features of Rhode Island's coastal and highland communities but makes up for it with community cohesion and proximity to Providence's employment and cultural offerings. North Providence's strong Italian-American heritage is reflected in its social fabric and culinary institutions.
