About this course

Wanumetonomy, steeped in Rhode Island golfing tradition, whispers tales of simpler times, a marked contrast to the modern game's power obsession. This classic layout, nestled in Middletown, offers a glimpse into Golden Age sensibilities, where cunning strategy trumps brute force. The gently rolling terrain, kissed by the coastal breezes, subtly challenges players with strategically placed bunkers and subtly contoured greens. Designed by Donald Ross, the course favors shot-shapers and those who can manage the wind, with several holes demanding thoughtful club selection and precise placement. Though not nationally recognized for hosting major championships, Wanumetonomy has remained a cherished local haven, its fairways echoing with the laughter and camaraderie of generations of members. A true golfer’s club, Wanumetonomy attracts those who appreciate the nuances of course architecture and the timeless appeal of a well-played round. The clubhouse, understated yet welcoming, serves as a central gathering point, known locally as the home of one of Rhode Island's finest clam chowders.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Wanumetonomy Golf & Country Club touch down at T.F. Green Airport in Providence, a compact forty-minute drive south along Route 138 as it crosses the Sakonnet River and delivers you onto Aquidneck Island. The route transitions from interstate efficiency to the quieter, salt-aired roads of Middletown, where glimpses of Narragansett Bay begin to punctuate the landscape. For members arriving by private aircraft, Newport State Airport sits just minutes from the club's gates, offering discreet access to one of Rhode Island's most storied and secluded retreats.
