Course record

Newport Country Club

William F. Davis designed Newport’s Rocky Farm courses in 1894 and added the second nine in 1897. The Club’s history explicitly corrects an older attribution of that expansion to Donald Ross.¹

Davis, Tillinghast and a course across Harrison Avenue

Land purchased west of Harrison Avenue in 1921 enabled A.W. Tillinghast to add seven holes and reroute the course. Ron Forse later prepared a restoration plan in 1998; work continued through early 2004, recovering bunkers and restoring their Tillinghast character.¹
