About this course

Rose Hill in Wakefield, Rhode Island, is a nine-hole layout designed by Beckman Weremay that serves as the home course for Rhode Island Country Club. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southern Rhode Island's coastal plain, where the topography provides natural movement without severe elevation changes. The property sits inland from the Atlantic shore but reflects the region's mix of hardwoods and open meadow typical of Washington County's rural character. Weremay's design works within a compact footprint, routing holes across varied ground that allows for strategic interest despite the modest length. The layout features several holes that play across or along natural contours, requiring golfers to account for uneven lies and thoughtful club selection. As with many nine-hole courses in New England, Rose Hill can be played twice from different tees to create an eighteen-hole round, offering variety through alternate angles and distances. Rhode Island Country Club maintains a traditional community-oriented atmosphere, serving local members with a straightforward golf experience focused on playability and course conditioning rather than championship length or dramatic features. The club's setting in Wakefield, a village within South Kingstown near the University of Rhode Island, places it within a region known for summer tourism and year-round residential communities. Rose Hill provides accessible golf in a state with limited course options, filling a niche for players seeking a walkable, unpretentious round in southern Rhode Island.

Getting there

Rhode Island Country Club is reached most conveniently via T.F. Green Airport in Warwick, a compact and efficient gateway just twenty minutes north along Route 1. The drive south traces the coastal edge of Narragansett Bay before turning inland through the low, wooded hills and salt ponds that define this corner of South County. As the highway gives way to quiet local roads near Wakefield village, the landscape softens into a patchwork of stone walls and rolling pasture - a fitting threshold to one of New England's most enduring and understated clubs.
