Preserve Sporting Club & Resort
Outdoorsy luxury with genuine substance. The vibe leans rustic-upscale: stone fireplaces, Matouk linens, Molton Brown toiletries, and a restaurant with Wine Spectator recognition — but the draw is really the activities, not the interiors. Guests tend to be active, well-heeled, and not looking for a beach.

Why It Matters
The sheer breadth of on-site activities at genuine luxury standards is rare in New England. The Maker's Mark Hobbit Houses™ are a legitimately unique dining concept — private round-doored structures built into hillside boulders, serving grilled menus with bourbon pairings. The indoor shooting range at 150-yard lanes is reportedly the longest automated range in the country. And the Bentley off-roading experience is the only course of its kind in the US.
A 3,500-acre private sporting estate turned full-scale luxury resort in southern Rhode Island. What started as a members-only club has grown into something genuinely hard to categorize: part wilderness lodge, part activity farm, part spa retreat, with a steakhouse, three Hobbit Houses, and a Bentley off-road track thrown in. Forbes called it 'The Finest Sporting Club in America.' The scale is real — 13 stocked fishing ponds, the country's longest indoor shooting range, an 18-hole golf course, and equestrian stables, all within a gated property surrounded by the protected Carolina Management Area.
