The Misquamicut Club was founded in 1895 and the golf course was influenced by Tom Bendelow, Willie Anderson, Seth Raynor and Donald Ross. Playing it is like experiencing three different golf courses. The 11th is just the most spectacular. After 10 holes on one side of Ocean View Highway the tee shot on 11 literally takes you right over the road that sits below. It’s one of most scenic tee shots in New England. Greed is an operative word for the line you choose which might include the lagoon to the right of the fairway and tall native fescue grasses. The short hole leaves you with a short wedge over to modest landforms that give the green approach a distinct look and defense. The green is relatively flat with modest slope from front to back. After ten wonderful and quirky holes on one side of Ocean View Highway the 11th pulls the curtain to reveal the lower seven holes with scale and long views but the playing toward the Atlantic Ocean with purpose is what makes this hole so nourishing. Misquamicut doesn’t seek attention which only adds to the charm of one of my favorite places on earth.
