Atkinson Resort & Country Club boasts an 18-hole Phil Wogan-designed course that first opened for daily fee play in 1996. Holes are laid out in two distinct clockwise circuits, each of which returns to the clubhouse.

“A short but engaging golf course built over typically rolling New England terrain,” is how Daniel Wexler describes the course in 

. The author then continues: “the outward half gets off to a strong start at the 515-yard 2nd, a downhill, creek-crossed par five played to a water-backed green.

This, plus the 183-yard 11th (all carry across wetlands) and the 352-yard creek-fronted 18th are the club’s standouts, but the remainder are pleasant enough holes which, if short, do generate a bit of thought. Among them, the 420-yard creek-fronted 5th and 523-yard pond-fronted 12th would fit in on longer, more prominent courses.”
