Agawam Hunt

Agawam Hunt is a private country club set on 130 wooded, riverside acres in Rumford, Rhode Island, just across the water from Providence's East Side. Founded in 1897 as a fox hunting organization, the club traces its roots to the Providence County Hunt of the 1870s and has occupied its current clubhouse site, a former farmhouse, since that era. In 2018, New Agawam, LLC acquired the property and partnered with The Nature Conservancy to permanently protect eleven of the club's interior golf course holes from development. The clubhouse offers formal and casual indoor spaces alongside outdoor venues on the property's rolling lawns and gardens, suited to weddings, showers, milestone celebrations, and corporate gatherings across the seasons. Catering draws on locally sourced ingredients from regional farms, dairies, and coastal waters, with an in-house pastry chef preparing custom cakes and gluten-free options. The grounds also serve as a backdrop for photo shoots, and the club's food and beverage team can arrange bespoke in-home dining for smaller gatherings of up to twelve guests. Beyond its event spaces, the club maintains golf, tennis, platform tennis, pickleball, squash, and swimming facilities, reflecting its long history as a sporting club alongside its role as an event destination.
