Misquamicut Golf Club

This is a seasonal beach and country Club located on the exquisite New England coastline of Rhode Island, offering members an 18 hole oceanview golf course, tennis pavilion and beach facilities.

The 20,000 square foot main golf Clubhouse serves full breakfast, lunch and formal dinner service while the beach Club offers lunch as well as formal and informal dining.

Both facilities hold a variety of social functions, private parties, and wedding receptions accommodating up to 1,000 guests in attendance.

The 18-hole "Misquamicut" course at the Misquamicut Club facility in Westerly, features 6,214 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 69. The course rating is 70.3 and it has a slope rating of 125 on Bent grass. 

Designed by Donald J. Ross, ASGCA, the Misquamicut golf course opened in 1895. 

Philip C. Koretski manages the course as the General Manager. And a fabulous job he does!

This course has five par 3's, making it a good course for working on your irons. Water hazards come into play on eight holes.

All the holes are well bunkered, and some have up to five greenside bunkers protecting them. The front nine is much more hilly than the back nine.

The club was established in 1895 and was named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1995 list of the "First 100 Clubs in America."

The course was redesigned by Donald Ross in 1922.

165 Misquamicut Golf Club (1900 et seq.; Atterbury & Tompkins of New York, architects):

A rambling 2-story Shingle Style building of Fieldstone and shingled-frame construction, with complex massing produced by a series of stylistically compatible additions to the original, smaller clubhouse.

The oldest portion of the building is a contained, symmetrical rectangular block with a massive hip roof encompassing the second floor and attic.

This block is flanked by asymmetrical hip-roof wings, one rectilinear, the other L-shaped in plan. The "L" wing, fronted by a stone-post porch with a porte-cochere, terminates at a 2-story, irregular-octagonal pavilion with a tall pyramidal roof.

The most distinctive features of the building are several broad, low jerkin-head dormers in the roofs of the main block and wings.

At the rear of the main block, a curved sun porch is surmounted by a similarly shaped dormer capped with a low semi-conical roof.

The Misquamicut Golf Club was founded in 1895 and originally purchased property on the opposite (south) side of Ocean View Highway, where it developed a 9-hole golf course and converted an old corn crib into a clubhouse.

The present course was laid out by the late Donald Ross, America’s foremost golf-course architect.

A tennis clubhouse on the grounds, designed by Lyman Goff of Watch Hill and built in 1979, is a whimsical small-scale adaptation of McKim, Mead & White's Newport Casino.
