Newport National Golf Club and The Villages on Mount Hope Bay

What could be better than living on the water? Living on the water and enjoying golf as a member of one of New England's premier golf clubs. That's exactly what homeowners at The Villages on Mount Hope Bay can do thanks to an exclusive arrangement the community has with Newport National Golf Club (NNGC).

This extraordinary golf resort will feature two championship-level courses plus a host of other amenities for the enjoyment of members and guests.

The first course, which opened in 2002, has been nominated for "Best New Private Course" in Golf Digest's annual Survey of America's Best New Golf Courses. This impressive 18-hole, par 72, 7,244-yard championship golf course, designed by renowned golf architect Arthur Hills, features views of the Atlantic Ocean and Sakonnet Passage.

A second 18-hole championship course, designed by PGA Tour player Brad Faxon and New England golf architect Brad Booth, is scheduled to open in 2004.

When not golfing, members of NNGC can relax in a 12,000 s.f. clubhouse designed by The Newport Collaborative that will offer a private Members' Lounge & Grille, private Members' locker rooms, a PGA-staffed Pro Shop and club offices.

Other plans call for a Members' Pool and Tennis Club and a state-of-the-art teaching school. For details about NNGC membership applications as a future homeowner at The Villages on Mount Hope Bay, contact Sales Director Maureen Fraser at 1-866-600-8642.
