The Metacomet Golf Club is located just east of downtown Providence on Watchemoket Cove of the Providence River. The club had been a fixture in Rhode Island golf from 1901 when Leonard Myles designed the layout and was further enhanced by Donald Ross in 1926. The property was purchase by Marshall Properties, a group that included PGA Tour and Champions Tour player Brad Faxon. The intention was to develop a mixed used development on the entire property, but the current plan now includes a scaled down project that retains a 9 hole golf course open to public play.
Rhode Island based Robert McNeil ASGCA was tasked with squeezing a new 9 hole layout into seven holes of the original front nine including holes 1,2,3,4,5, and 7. The course will be known as MetLinks and will open in early June 2024.
