Gift certificate for a round of golf for four with golf carts at Point Judith Country Club.
History: Located in one of America’s premier beach towns, Point Judith CC was founded in 1894 by 25 wealthy Philadelphians who shared interests in polo, tennis, and golf. The first links opened in 1895 with 9 holes from William Davis, the pro and first architect at Newport Country Club. The history gets a bit murky after this, but in 1927 famed architect Donald Ross remodeled the original 9 and added 9 holes of his own. Almost certainly, some of his holes were tinkered with or altered over the years, but Ron Prichard did his best to restore Ross’s design in 1997. Today, Point Judith CC serves as the University of Rhode Island’s home course. The Club has been awarded the following award:
•#11 Best Course in Rhode Island – Top100golfcourse.com (2018)
This is a bonafide championship layout with thick rough, quick true greens, and fantastically conditioned teeboxes and fairways.
