Rhode Island’s Preserve Sporting Club Is The Ideal Resort, Offering Something For Everyone.
If your friends and family are looking for a unique getaway, The Preserve Sporting Club is an excellent choice. This private club is also a hotel in Rhode Island which has multiple room options ranging from spacious multi-bedroom lodge suites with a fireplace to cozy “tiny homes” with bunk beds. All rooms are super comfortable and come with fully equipped kitchens and very fast wifi.
While the rooms are luxurious, the real reason to visit the Preserve is to enjoy the endless array of first class activities. You can stop by the equestrian center and sign up for horseback riding lessons or spend time practicing your archery skills. The Preserve has a terrific sporting clays course and the longest indoor range in the country. You can also go ziplining, visit the gym or sign up for a yoga class. Of course there is an 18 hole golf course as well as grass and clay tennis courts. There are ten fly-fishing ponds or you can book a day trip and fish off property. The nearby Wood River Pawcatuck Watershed provides an excellent place for canoeing and kayaking and if you simply want to get outside, there are miles of hiking trails.
The Spa at the Preserve is a little unusual. You can book a custom massage that includes signature aromatherapy oils or a couple’ massage; and there is a youth revealing facial and the sharpshooter’s gentleman’s facial created for the guys. However, an affiliation with Oceanside Medical means that there is also a medical spa on-site. This is the place to sign up for a fat-reducing emsculpt treatment or receive a dermafiller or botox treatment in a more cozy spa setting.
Dining is one of the highlights at the Preserve. The Double Barrel Steak features traditional, elevated American cuisine. This is the place to indulge in crab and corn fritters, a margarita flatbread, shrimp cocktail with colossal shrimps and a perfectly sered filet mignon served with mushroom risotto. However, for a truly unique dining experience, consider reserving one of the property’s Maker Mark’s Hobbit Houses.
Set in hillside boulders, guests enter through a carved wooden door and enjoy a magical evening where grilled specailites are paired with a bourbon tasting menu. This is a fantasy, storybook experience for grown-ups. Another fun experience happens in the Safari Tents, where you can enjoy a Laphroaig scotch and Cohiba cigar tasting; a platter of cheese, venison salami and other treats are a nice accompaniment. In the summer, you can enjoy light bites poolside in the H2O Cafe and the White Birch Cafe is the place to grab something more casual.
If you fall in love with your vacation experience, you might want to become a member of the Preserve. Membership will provide you with some extra special experiences and exclusive holiday events.
