Description

Four golfers will enjoy a round of golf at the beautiful Carnegie Abbey Club, in Portsmouth, R.I.  Recipient is responsible for caddie fees @ $60 per bag & gratuity for 18 holes.  Carts are available for guests with physical restrictions or guests who are 50+.  The fee for a cart is $35 per person plus forecaddie $35 & gratuity per bag for 18 holes.


Centerpiece of The Carnegie Abbey Club near Newport, the waterfront golf course represents a transplant of traditional golfing values from Scotland -- birthplace of the royal and ancient game -- to Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Designed by one of the great names in modern golf course architecture, Donald Steel, the course boasts traditional Scottish-style revetted sod bunkers, few in number but strategically placed for maximum impact on play. Not a long course by modern standards, it is nonetheless a challenging one that encourages an accurate, thoughtful approach.


Steel's ingenious course layout takes full advantage of its seaside location, providing dramatic and ever-changing views of Narragansett Bay. In fact, it is a course that is married to the landscape, blending beautifully with mature woodlands, wetlands, and colonial stone walls. It seems to have been not so much built as cultivated.
