U.S. Open Birthplace

Play America's Finest Grass

Rhode Island's Top Course

Newport RI's Top Golf & Tennis Getaways  Add world-class golf or tennis to your Newport RI getaway. Newport National Golf Club is ranked the best golf course in Rhode Island with its dramatic, seaside setting. And the grass tennis courts at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, are not only the finest lawn courts in the country -- but also the birthplace of tennis in America.

Rhode Island's Top-Rated Golf Course  Newport National and its Orchard Course unfold across 200 rolling acres of former farmland with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Narragansett Bay. Designed by prominent golf architect Arthur Hills and his associate Drew Rogers, Newport National plays fast and firm with greens, tees and fairways consisting of 100% seaside bent grass, and grand, swaying fescue often exceeding 4’ in length. Reminiscent of some of Ireland's finest golf links. Golf Week Magazine named it top 20 "new course" in America and number-one in Rhode Island.

A center of life in Newport's Gilded Age, artist -- and Cliffside resident -- Beatrice Turner captured the action then. And today, these 13 lawn tennis courts contine to host the best players in the world, and now you can join them. It's literally Wimbledon in Newport.
