Mount Washington Resort (Mount Washington)
A Donald Ross design from 1915, Brian Silva renovated the Mount Washington course at the 27-hole Omni Mount Washington Hotel in 2008 following the master architect’s original plans. The facility has played host to four New Hampshire Opens and the 2010 New England Open Championship won by Jason Parajeckas.
The complementary 9-hole Mount Pleasant layout is set out along the Ammonoosuc River and it extends to 3,215 yards, playing to a par of 35. It too was designed by Brian Silva, who constructed the course on the site of an old 19th century 9-holer, which disappeared sometime before World War II.
The new Mount Washington holes are located mainly on the front nine, where holes 3 to 6 were reworked by Silva. On the inward half, three Ross originals stand out; the 537-yard uphill 10th, the 242-yard ravine-dominated 14th and the 201-yard 16th, where Mount Washington provides the backdrop to the green.
