Detailed description of Rhode Island Country Club

The golf course at Rhode Island Country Club first opened for play in 1911. The course was designed by Donald Ross. The course was rennovated in 2007 by NMP Golf Design.
The course at Rhode Island Country Club is a combination of parkland, wooded and seaside holes, with the final four holes located on beautiful Narragansett Bay.

I grew up caddying on this Donald Ross gem fifty years ago and it hasn't lost any of it's charm. If you want to experience small, good greens, no collection areas, a wonderful walk and a fantastic view of Narragansett Bay - then come here. It's worth making a call to the pro shop to see if there is a way to get you on, especially if you are from out of town. Good luck.
