Wide view of the course — fairway, treeline, and rolling terrain
The Experience

Golf-first. Just minutes from the Bay.

A classic walking course where serious players find a match, sharpen their game, and become part of a genuine community. This is where tradition meets every day.

The Course

Modest on the card. Tougher in the round.

Our classic 1927 layout sits on rolling terrain near Narragansett Bay. At 18 holes, par 71, and 6,380 yards, the yardage might seem modest — but Potowomut plays longer and tougher than the card suggests.
