Dette er en hel runde gennem Providence, med 18 huller og en par på 57. Kortet er den virkelige by, og bolden ruller langs dens faktiske gader, og bruger lokale seværdigheder i byen, såsom Waterplace Park, til at bygge hullerne. To portaler hjælper med at bygge bro over hullerne på den 7,7 miles lange gåtur. Skip er en lokal guide, der kender disse fortove godt, inklusive de præcise steder, hvor de bedste smuler lander. Denne lange tur tager bolden fra flodbredden til byens hjørner.
