WARWICK COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Warwick, RI, USA
Designed by Donald Ross


Warwick Country Club occupies rolling terrain in central Rhode Island, designed by Donald Ross and opened in the 1920s during the architect's prolific period of New England course construction. Ross shaped hundreds of layouts across the region during this era, and Warwick reflects his characteristic approach to routing over moderate topography. The course sits inland from Narragansett Bay, where the landscape features gentle elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors typical of southern New England settings.
The layout follows Ross principles of strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward precision over distance. The greens exhibit the subtle contours and false fronts associated with Ross designs, requiring careful approach play and thoughtful putting. The routing moves through wooded and semi-open areas, with holes that turn naturally with the land rather than imposing dramatic artificial features. Par varies across the nines in the traditional manner of early twentieth-century design.
Warwick Country Club functions as a private facility serving the local community, maintaining the course as both a competitive venue for members and a historical example of Ross's extensive portfolio in the region. The club has hosted Rhode Island state amateur championships and other regional competitions over the decades. Like many Ross courses from this period, Warwick has undergone periodic updates to accommodate modern equipment and maintenance practices while preserving the fundamental character of the original design and green sites.
Reviews
Played here in an event with work which was a 4 man scramble. Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyable golf course. Reminded me of what it’s like to have fun on the course again. Would love to play there all summer, great set up and some spectacular vistas down by the ocean. Members here are lucky!
