Point Judith Country Club

Set a mile inland from the Atlantic and the Point Judith Lighthouse, Point Judith Country Club occupies old farm fields on the neck between the Pettaquamscutt and Narrow Rivers in Narragansett. It is a private club offering an 18-hole course that today plays par 71 at 6,694 yards from the back tees, with multiple forward options and a published hole-by-hole card on the club website. Greens are predominantly back-to-front in tilt and defended by compact bunkering rather than sheer length; the Blue tees are rated 72.6/133 and the White set 70.9/131. The club maintains a clubhouse complex on Windemere Road; public-facing pages emphasize golf and racquets and provide a hole-by-hole description for visitors and guests. Recent tournament use has included the Rhode Island Amateur (2016), confirming that the course’s present conditioning supports championship speeds on a windy, seaside-plain site without resorting to extreme yardage. While the club’s centennial pages sketch early polo and social history in detail, they also preserve key golf milestones—crucially, that Donald Ross was retained during the club’s expansion from early links to a fuller course and that later additions took Point Judith to a complete eighteen—providing the backbone for any analysis of what portions of today’s layout can be attributed to Ross and what evolved afterward
