Golf Club of New England

GREENLAND, NH. - Recently, Palmer Course Design unveiled its first golf course in New Hampshire, The Golf Club of New England. It’s a private golf course situated on approximately 450 acres of lush woodlands and natural terrain.

“We were able to work with the native topography and some exciting natural elements to create a pure golf experience,” said Erik Larsen, one of the architects of the Golf Club of New England. “The Golf Club of New England is simply about golf. Our design offers multiple playing strategies, providing players a unique golf experience at every hole.”

The Golf Club of New England is a 7,122-yard, par-72 course located along the seacoast of New Hampshire. It has nice roll from tee to green, vertical elevation changes, open fields, wetlands, running streams and mature trees.

“Designing a stand-alone course gives you the freedom to have fun with the layout,” Larsen added. “The Golf Club of New England was a pleasure to design, but seeing the finished product after 18 months and having it come out even more beautiful than we envisioned, is really rewarding.”

Quoted from their website:

Challenging…

But Not Discouraging…

Golf Club of New England is designed to appeal to individuals who would enjoy playing a tournament-caliber course where there are no tee times, and partaking of the amenities of a distinctive but unpretentious clubhouse catering only to golfers.

The Palmer Course Design Company, which has developed or redesigned more than 250 fine courses worldwide, designed Golf Club of New England’s stellar course, which is nearly 7,200 yards long. Situated on rolling woodlands near scenic Great Bay, the course is an imaginative blend of ample fairways and greens and natural waterways.

It will challenge but not discourage average players, while giving low-handicap or scratch golfers the chance to test their distance and accuracy in hitting from intimidating back tees to tight landing areas. There are no homes lining the fairways to detract from the beauty and serenity of the setting. True to its name, Golf Club of New England is dedicated strictly to golf, at the convenience of the members.

If anyone in that area has played it, let me know what you think about it. Having played one of Arnold’s designs on a regular basis Lost Key, in Perdido Key, FL, I will bet it is no pushover.

Go visit their website and if you go play, tell ‘em Mike sent you.
