About the club
Agawam Hunt is a private member-owned country club at Rumford, East Providence, Rhode Island, set on 130 wooded acres just across the river from Providence. It was chartered in 1897 as a fox hunting club and now centres on an 18-hole Donald Ross golf course and racquet sports. The club has 10 grass tennis courts, used in summer, with four Har-Tru clay courts, two indoor courts, two platform tennis courts and three squash courts. Agawam Hunt was the main venue of the Rhode Island State Championships, a grass court event that ran until 1969, and still stages USTA competition on grass, including a long-running father and son tournament. An ITF masters event, MT700 Rumford, was played on grass in September 2026. Play is for members and their guests, with outings available to non-members by arrangement.
