Laurel Lane Country Club
About this course
Laurel Lane Country Club sits in the rural countryside of West Kingston in southern Rhode Island's Washington County. The course occupies rolling, wooded terrain typical of the region's glacially shaped landscape, where elevation changes and natural corridors provide definition to the layout. The property's setting offers a quiet, pastoral character away from the more densely developed coastal areas of the state. The club operates as a semi-private facility, serving both members and outside play. Like many New England country clubs of its generation, Laurel Lane provides a traditional golf experience with tree-lined fairways and small to moderately sized greens that reward accurate approach play. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with holes moving through stands of hardwoods and across modest elevation changes that create visual interest and strategic variety. The course serves the local golfing community in southern Rhode Island, an area with fewer golf options than the northern part of the state. Its location near the University of Rhode Island campus in Kingston places it within reach of both residential members and visitors exploring the region. The club maintains a relaxed atmosphere typical of smaller New England country clubs, where golf remains the primary focus without extensive resort-style amenities.

Getting there
Most visitors to Laurel Lane Country Club arrive through T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, a compact half-hour drive north along Route 138 into the rural quiet of southern Rhode Island. The route transitions quickly from suburban sprawl to open farmland and stone-wall-bordered lanes, the landscape flattening into the glacial outwash plains that define this corner of the state. As you turn onto Laurel Lane itself, the surrounding countryside feels decidedly unhurried - a fitting prelude to one of New England's most understated and architecturally significant private retreats.
