Golf Club of New England
A 2002 Arnold Palmer design, the eighteen holes at the Golf Club of New England are mainly tree-lined, with ponds and wetlands coming into play at the closing holes on the back nine. Rated one of the toughest tracks in the Granite State, the New England course is widely regarded as one of Mr Palmer’s strongest layouts.
The course stands within a large 450-acre property, with no residential elements on or around the golfing activity, which allows golfers the opportunity of savouring the undisturbed natural surroundings of this former farmland site each and every time they tee it up here.
After a relatively gentle start to the round during the opening three holes, the course bears its teeth at the 480-yard 4th and 600-yard 5th, rated the two most difficult holes on the front nine. On the back nine, the 457-yard 16th is one of the more memorable holes, doglegging to the left along the Winnicutt River.
