Carnegie Abbey is a good golf course located on the Narragansett Bay in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, just north of Newport.
Carnegie Abbey suffers from some routing isssues do to logistics of the golf course, along with some environmental restrictions.
The first few holes are a bit awkward, however once you cross the bridge you have a nice round ahead of you.
The back nine has some very good holes with some awesome views of the bay.
Dean Chase does a great job, and Carnegie plays very fast and firm.
The par 3 17th is one of the best around, great golf hole.
18 is a short par 4 which plays along the bay. A very unique walk ahead as you cross over the beach.
The greens are very difficult especially if you haven't been out there before. They have some unbelievable break, everything goes to the bay, everything.
Keep it out of the bunkers.
