Without further ado, this is Wannamoisett, in East
Providence, RI, by Donald Ross, of course. Wannamoisett is
only a par 69, but has several long par 4's, and is just under
6700 yards. It's moderatley difficult to find a quality course
in RI or MA that isn't a Ross course.
Just re-reading the write-up, Ran says Wannamoisett is 104
acres, and poster Willie Dow said it was 95 acres. It's still
small.
other clues include:
small property = Ross
"has golf never failed..." = refers to the Ross book of the
same name ending with "me".
"modest housing" = refers to the working class city location
of East Providence.
previous AOTD nearby is Metacomet, also by Ross, as are
other top courses in RI.
Melina Kanakaredes is the star of the TV show "Providence",
also used in the Metacomet thread.
budget-conscious Southwest Airlines advertises flyinginto
Providence as a cheaper and easier way of flying to Boston.

Tom Brady is the New England Patriots' QB who led to the
