Weekapaug is where subtle brilliance meets the bracing air of Rhode Island's coast. This unassuming layout in Westerly harbors a design pedigree and a steadfast membership that prizes classic golf over modern flash. Originally crafted by Scotsman Donald Ross in 1922, Weekapaug unfolds across gently rolling terrain, a far cry from dramatic linksland, yet still imbued with a coastal character. Its fairways, while generous in width, subtly challenge strategy from the tee, rewarding thoughtful placement over brute force. The course has very few bunkers but utilizes tightly mown run off areas to protect the small greens and encourage creativity around the greens. It favors players with an appreciation for angles, and those willing to embrace the ground game. Over the years, Weekapaug has been tweaked to enhance playability and sustainability. While lacking the fanfare of major championships, Weekapaug's prestige lies in its unwavering commitment to the spirit of the game. The club is known locally for its hearty chowder and welcoming atmosphere which is a favorite among the membership following a round. It's a place where the echoes of laughter and the clink of glasses often carry further than the ping of a well-struck drive.
