Overview

Newport National Golf Club deemed the "Number One Public Access Course in New England" by New England Golf Monthly. Legendary golf architect, Arthur Hills, designed the challenging 7,244‑yard Orchard Course. The 18‑hole links‑style course sports sloping fairways, marshes, and strategically placed bunkers. The dramatic setting boasts views of the Atlantic Ocean and Sakonnet Passage while challenging golfers with steady winds coming off Narragansett Bay.
