Quidnessett Country Club built a seawall behind the 14th hole.

A subcommittee of the Coastal Resources Management Council has rejected a petition from Quidnessett Country Club to reclassify waters near its golf course, a change that would allow a seawall where the club has already put one up illegally

State coastal regulators had some bad news this week for the North Kingstown country club that’s trying to get permission to construct a seawall where it’s already built one illegally. A subcommittee of the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council voted Tuesday to deny the waterfront classification change sought by Quidnessett Country Club. The final decision now goes to the full CRMC.
