Located in Middletown, Rhode Island, Wanumetonomy Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole championship layout that challenges golfers while rewarding thoughtful play. This private course unfolds along a coastal setting, where gentle ocean breezes influence club selection and strategic approach shots. The design emphasizes traditional links-style features, with undulating fairways framed by natural sandy areas and well-positioned bunkers that guard each green, inviting a measured game rather than brute force.
The landscape presents sweeping views over the water, enhancing both the visual appeal and the playing experience. The greens demand attention to detail; their subtle breaks and smooth surfaces require careful reading and precision putting.

Casual players will find ample room to play, while lower handicaps will appreciate the strategic challenges built into tee placements and hazard exposures. Seasonal conditions add texture to the course, especially when ocean winds pick up in late afternoon rounds, encouraging a thoughtful tempo and shot shaping.
Amenities at the club include a welcoming clubhouse that serves as a comfortable base for relaxation before and after golf. The staff's professionalism and attention to course conditioning ensure each round feels well-managed and enjoyable. Walkers will find the routing accommodating, with clear paths linking holes and minimal elevation change, while those preferring carts can request them based on availability.

The course invites thoughtful engagement with both its land and sea breezes, making it a distinctive experience for members and their guests.
The course’s proximity to the ocean brings variable coastal winds that influence shot-making.
