Kings Crossing Golf Club — A Rare Blend of Playability, History & Investment Upside
Kings Crossing Golf Club, designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Cornish and opened in 1964, has long been a treasured part of North Kingstown. From the first tee shot, golfers enjoy a gently rolling, well-routed course that feels natural, welcoming, and endlessly playable design. Whether it’s a fast four-hole “Shorty,” a classic nine, or a full 18 using a flexible tee system, Kings Crossing delivers variety, beauty, and challenge for every skill level. Subtle greens, traditional bunkering, and multiple strategic paths keep players engaged round after round.
The property spans ±53.78 acres, including a highly valuable ±7.09-acre parcel located in East Greenwich’s Planned Development Overlay District. This northern section—currently serving as the Par 3 third hole and tee area for hole #4—supports a wide range of residential uses, including single-family attached homes, duplexes, and quadplexes. Thoughtful reconfiguration could unlock significant development upside, strengthen overall feasibility, and reduce project basis for an investor seeking long-term value.
Kings Crossing’s location is exceptional: just five miles from Interstate 95 and less than 25 minutes from downtown Providence, offering immediate access to a robust and growing population base. The course is built on a golf-first foundation but enhanced by modern, diversified revenue streams. It features Rhode Island’s only professionally designed footgolf course and, as of 2024, four new pickleball courts, expanding its appeal to families, leagues, and recreation-minded visitors.
Owning a golf course here means placing your business within one of Rhode Island’s most scenic and active communities. North Kingstown’s coastal charm, historic character, and strong outdoor lifestyle foster steady year-round demand from residents and tourists alike. The nearby Quonset Business Park adds a consistent flow of professionals and families seeking recreation, events, and social engagement.
With excellent schools, a family-friendly environment, and easy access to the Providence MSA’s 1.7 million residents—and a median household income of $120,565—this market offers stability, purchasing power, and long-term growth potential.
Kings Crossing Golf Club is a unique opportunity: a beloved, profitable course paired with a flexible, high-value redevelopment parcel in one of the state’s strongest communities. It is an investment where recreation, revenue, and future vision come together.
