Warwick Country Club history

In its first year, the club elected yachting officers and on July 4, 1925, the first annual regatta was held marking the beginning of the Warwick Country and Yacht Club.

Warwick Country Club has been a landmark in the Warwick Neck area with a history dating back into the early 1930’s.

In 1938, when the club was showing gradual recovery from the difficult time caused by the Great Depression, disaster struck in the form of a hurricane that destroyed the yacht area.

In 1949, Valley Ledgemont Country Club was sold to local business 60 Inc. and renamed Valley Country Club.

In 1954, the day after the dedication of the new nine holes, Hurricane Carol struck with all its fury, but, once again, the members of Warwick Country Club cleaned up and rebuilt.

The private, 9-hole golf course continued to run into the early 1960’s, when 60 Inc. bought a substantial portion of surrounding land and selected acclaimed golf course designer Geoffrey Cornish to design an additional nine holes.

It took five years to raise the million dollars, but in 1995 Valley bought the club for $3,000,000.

In 1997, under the direction of golf course architect Ron Prichard, the Club undertook a project to restore its golf course to its original Donald Ross design.

In 2002, Ian Scott-Taylor, a golf course architect from Wales, was brought in to blend Follett’s and Cornish’s original nine holes to visually look like one design.

In April of 2011, Valley Country Club embarked on an exciting new future under new ownership, Valley CC Investors, LLC. The group, comprised of more than sixty member investors, purchased Valley Country Club to ensure its financial stability and to maintain the over 60 years of tradition at Valley.

In 2014, the Club completed two major projects.
