Course Report
Every hole at Warwick Country Club features a view of Narragansett Bay, making it one of the rare coastal courses in the Northeast where water is visible from every point on the course.
About
Warwick Country Club, established in 1924 and designed by Donald Ross, offers an 18-hole, par-69 course stretching along the Narragansett Bay. Known for its gorgeous ocean vistas and natural coastal features, the course is a quintessential Ross layout with elevated greens, strategic bunkering, and a golfing experience shaped by ever-changing winds. Bentgrass turf ensures premium playing conditions.
Caddie Tip
Take extra care to judge wind direction, as conditions can change rapidly along the bay. On greens, favor less break than you see; Ross’s subtle contours often play straighter than they look. Club selection is critical when approaching uphill greens, especially on the closing stretch.
The Main Challenge
The greatest challenge at Warwick comes from the persistent coastal winds that sweep across the layout, particularly on back-nine holes exposed to the bay. The small, subtly contoured Ross greens are difficult to hold and demand precise irons and expert distance control.
The Good
Golfers consistently praise the panoramic coastal views from every hole as the standout aspect of Warwick Country Club. The beauty of the Narragansett Bay, paired with strategic Ross design and excellent course maintenance, creates a memorable and scenic golf experience unlike many inland clubs.
The Not So Good
Members would like further upgrades to bunkers and expanded teeing options, especially for high-handicap and junior players. Some also mention that pace of play can slip during peak summer weekends, with backup on the tight finishing stretch.
Signature Hole:
#
18
The 18th hole is a challenging par 4 that finishes right on the edge of Narragansett Bay, providing sweeping ocean views from tee to green. The approach must navigate prevailing winds and well-placed bunkers, demanding accuracy and strategy to end the round on a memorable high note.
Clubhouse
Facilities include a full restaurant with sweeping bay views, locker rooms, pro shop, and multiple event spaces. Additional amenities include a swimming pool, tennis courts, and special event hosting, making it a true family-focused country club atmosphere.
