Pros:
It is a disc golf course, and that is the main thing you want more of if you're an Ocean State native. I wanted to play a round in Rhode Island on my quest to disc golf in all 50 states, and Ningret isn't winning over many of our DGCR contemporaries. As daylight was fading fast when I arrived at South Kingsdown DGC, 10 holes is about all I had time for. The length is usually short, measuring 2829' in total distance, and only one par 4. Elevation change is not completely absent, but not extreme on any hole, either. There are nice fairways, cleared out of woods and providing a good path to each DISCatcher target. Layout was good, mixing in lefts and rights, with some distance occasionally. The pin placements were chosen well, and used the terrain very well. The tees are rubber mats installed nicely on leveled surfaces. Each hole has a nice new sign. Some cool old stone walls intersect the fairways on a couple of holes. This is a quick and easy to navigate course if the sun is up.
Cons:
There was some growth fighting to regain its territory on the recently cleared fairways, and briars and poison ivy reached for my legs. I would think rough can get ugly if you get a bad ricochet off a tree in the wrong place. There are places where the course may be close to other people in the park not playing disc golf. There is a walking path winding through, and a play ground kind of near the first and last holes. Not the most challenging course, and only 10 holes. My smartphone parked me in a residential cul-de-sac, and my dog and I walked in the back entrance to the park. Not sure, but there must be a better place than that to get in.
Other Thoughts:
South Kingsdown DGC is a compact course in a pleasant park, and I am sure the locals are glad to have another option in state. It is fun, and I only managed even par (28), scoring a bogey, a double bogey, and three birdies. Wish I hadn't had to rush to beat the sunset. The kiosk and all of the equipment is brand new and nicely installed. If 8 more holes are installed, and they are consistent with the quality of the first 10, I could see boosting my score to a 3 rating easily.
