Button Hole

Button Hole is a 9-hole, par-3 walking golf course located in Providence, Rhode Island, designed as an inclusive facility welcoming golfers of all ages and abilities. The course was developed from a former gravel pit and transformed into a recreational oasis emphasizing community engagement and youth development.

The facility features a 300-yard double-ended driving range with 26 mat stations and a grass tee area, a 16,000 square foot practice putting green, and dedicated chipping and bunker practice areas. The par-3 layout is characterized as both fun and challenging, accommodating junior and adult golf programs, public play, leagues, and special events.

Button Hole's primary mission centers on enriching young people's lives through golf instruction and character development, with particular emphasis on welcoming youth from culturally diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. The facility offers comprehensive programming including youth and adult lessons, kids' clinics, junior leagues, ladies' leagues, and veterans' golf programs. The course prioritizes teaching golf etiquette, on-course strategy, and life values such as honesty, humility, and perseverance alongside traditional golf instruction.
