Weekapaug Golf Club



About this course
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.

Getting there
The journey to Weekapaug Golf Club begins at T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island (PVD), roughly forty minutes north, or alternatively at the larger Boston Logan International (BOS), a ninety-minute drive that rewards patience with coastal New England scenery. From either hub, the route descends southward through Rhode Island's quieter reaches, trading suburban corridors for the salt-tinged air and maritime character of the southwestern coast. The final miles unfold along narrow roads that thread through Westerly's residential neighborhoods before arriving at the club's discrete entrance, where the Atlantic's distant murmur and the manicured grounds of this venerable oceanside sanctuary signal the end of the journey and the beginning of a round steeped in over a century of Rhode Island golfing tradition.
