Rhode Island Country Club
Host to the US Women’s Amateur in 2011, the course at Rhode Island Country Club is routed across a diverse landscape of parkland, woodland and wetlands, culminating in a closing stretch that lies beside the marshes of Narragansett Bay.
Since 1999, the club has been home to the annual Charity Classic, an event where eighteen professionals from the PGA, LPGA and Champions Tours join co-hosts Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade in raising funds for a number of good causes in southeastern New England.
Many of the fairways at Rhode Island are routed close to Echo Lake, where a large creek and ancillary wetland areas encroach at a number of the holes, but it’s the windswept closing quartet of holes on the south side of Nyatt Road that live longest in the memory.
