Golf in Wyoming

Wyoming is a village in Richmond, a quietly named community in the rural Washington County interior well south of Providence. The village's evocative name — one of many place names inspired by the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania — belies its decidedly New England character, with stone walls, forested hillsides, and the Pawcatuck River watershed defining the landscape. Wyoming's position near the Arcadia Management Area gives residents immediate access to thousands of acres of state forest and freshwater fishing. The Preserve Sporting Club, with its high-end sporting estate concept, brings a luxury outdoor recreational dimension to this otherwise agricultural community. The village's name is one of several American place names inspired by the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania, a reminder of how New England settlers brought familiar names to new landscapes.
