Shelter Harbor Golf Club
About Shelter Harbor Golf Club
Shelter Harbor Golf Club occupies roughly 400 acres of open space in Westerly and Charlestown, Rhode Island, where the land carries a permanent prohibition on development. It was the first new private course built in Washington County in more than a century, and the project grew out of an effort to protect and preserve the natural character of the surrounding area.
The club operates as a traditional, family-oriented private club, with golf complemented by fitness facilities and dining and beverage service. Its approach reflects New England customs of hospitality, along with a stated commitment to sportsmanship, community and environmental stewardship.
