Wanumetonomy sees a somewhat restrained Seth Raynor with only a couple of templates, but a lovely seaside location and many strong holes make it a must play for fans of MacRaynor. With additional tree-removal and a commitment to Raynor’s original bunkering hopefully coming in the next few years, Wanumetonomy could become one of the elite private courses in Rhode Island. … More Review: Wanumetonomy Golf and Country Club
An exclusive summer retreat, The Misquamicut Club is one of the best courses most people have never heard of. With architects like Ross, Raynor, and Bendelow on its pedigree, this old-school course oozes a charm more akin to the Hamptons than Southern Rhode Island. Don’t ever pass up the chance to play here if you somehow get the opportunity! … More Review: The Misquamicut Club
The classic Point Judith Country Club is one of the better courses in Rhode Island and one I highly recommend. Expect plenty of fun, excellent conditioning, and some great holes at this old-school gem. … More Review: Point Judith Country Club
Newport Country Club is a timeless gem. A tremendous history, superb Tillinghast design, a setting unlike any other make this seaside paradise one of America’s finest golf experiences. Don’t hesitate to accept if you’re lucky enough to get an chance to play. … More Review: Newport Country Club
Louisquissett is quite frankly a course that never should have been built. While the conditioning is solid, the course layout is incredibly ill-conceived. I can’t say I’d recommend this course to a friend. … More Review: Louisquissett Golf Club
Kirkbrae CC offers some of the best conditioning and amenities in the Rhode Island, but a subpar design from Geoffrey Cornish prevents it from being one of Rhode Island’s elite private courses. … More Review: Kirkbrae Country Club
This challenging executive course forces you to use every club in the bag, and is much more fun and cost-effective than a driving range. I recommend this course to both novices and good players who want to work on their iron game. … More Review: Swansea Country Club Executive Par 3 Course

The quirky design and slow pace of play are huge detractors from Wood River, but the conditioning and prices are above average. The restaurant inside is worth going to even if you don’t play here. … More Review: Wood River Golf
Winnapaug is a conflicting course for me. There’s a lot to like – a good Ross design, reasonable price, and location on the beautiful RI seashore. However, slow pace of play, mediocre conditioning, and lack of upkeep have never put Winnapaug at the top of my list. For visitors to Watch Hill/Westerly, Winnapaug is a solid option, but there are definitely better ones (Shennecossett, Lake of Isles, Meadow Brook) if you’re willing to drive a bit. … More Review: Winnapaug Country Club
