Northern New Hampshire Golf Courses

Best Golf Courses In New Hampshire’s Northern Counties

New Hampshire’s golf courses are plentiful and located all throughout the state, but none are as beautiful as the ones that you will find in The White Mountains Region of Northern NH. Here you’ll find courses offering some of the most breathtaking views in New England. In the Spring new bright green leaves emerge, flowers explode with color and the tops of the Northern Presidentials, still capped with snow from winter, stand sentinel as your golfing backdrop. Then Summer arrives and  those greens deepen and warm temperature rise (never reaching the oppressive highs that southern courses face thanks to the regions’ higher elevation) and land comfortably in the 70’s and 80’s with a slight breeze coming down from the mountains. Fall begins and the greens of summer change magically into deep reds, oranges and yellows. Golfing in this sunset of trees before everything turns white once again is a gift worth giving yourself. 

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just starting out, you’ll find courses in Northern NH to suit your preferences in this picturesque and peaceful region of the country.
