Course Report
The clubhouse and restaurant are housed in a restored 19th-century farmhouse, blending New England charm with a modern golf experience.
About
Fenner Hill Country Club is a picturesque public course in southwestern Rhode Island set among rolling terrain, woodlands, and stone walls. Opened in 2002, it features a links-inspired layout with panoramic views, generous fairways, and a welcoming clubhouse. Designed to challenge players of all skill levels, the course combines a fun routing with modern amenities.
Caddie Tip
Watch out for deceptive slopes on approaches and read the greens carefully—breaks are often more subtle than they appear. Play conservatively on holes with stonewall boundaries and avoid over-hitting on downhill fairways; position is more important than distance.
The Main Challenge
Fenner Hill rewards accuracy over power, as rolling elevation, stonewalls, and native hazards penalize missed shots. The most difficult stretch is the run of holes with tight, tree-lined fairways and undulating greens—golfers must manage risk and club selection to post a good score.
The Good
Golfers most appreciate Fenner Hill’s friendly staff, panoramic setting, and the enjoyable mix of risk-reward holes. The restaurant is a highlight, with its farmhouse charm and scenic deck offering views over the finishing holes, creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for players and guests alike.
The Not So Good
Pace of play on busy weekends and the potential for soggy conditions following heavy rain are common complaints. Some golfers have noted that greens occasionally run a bit slower after maintenance, and a few fairways may show wear during late summer dry spells.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole at Fenner Hill is a par 4 finishing hole that demands an accurate tee shot and a well-placed approach to a contoured green, set just beneath the clubhouse deck. The risk-reward options and scenic backdrop provide a strong test and a memorable conclusion to your round.
Clubhouse
The restored farmhouse clubhouse includes a full restaurant, whiskey lounge, covered patio with golf course views, and a pro shop. Guests enjoy a relaxed dining atmosphere, a wide range of drinks, and additional lounge seating, enhancing the social and culinary aspects of each visit.
