WEST WARWICK COUNTRY CLUB

This Donald Ross design threads through rolling New England terrain with the kind of strategic bunkering that separates pretenders from players. The par-4 14th demands a precise drive over wetlands to a fairway that tilts dramatically toward trouble, while the closing stretch features three holes that can make or break your round depending on how you handle the prevailing southwest wind. Despite some aging infrastructure, the bones remain pure Ross—rewarding thoughtful course management while punishing the reckless with that particular brand of understated cruelty that defines great Rhode Island golf.
