NARRAGANSETT COUNTRY CLUB (RI)

The windswept coastal terrain of southern Rhode Island shapes every shot on this Donald Ross masterpiece, where elevation changes of 150 feet create dramatic vistas over Narragansett Bay while testing your ability to judge distance in the ocean breeze. Ross's signature crowned greens demand precision approach play, particularly on the stunning clifftop par-3 7th that plays directly toward the water. The fescue-lined fairways and strategic bunkering reward course management over raw power, making this a thinking player's course that improves with familiarity.
