Crotched Mountain Golf Club is a classic Donald Ross design set against a beautiful New England backdrop in the rolling hills of New Hampshire. The course is situated at the base of a mountain, offering beautiful views of the surrounding Monadnock region. This peacefully secluded spot is breathtaking in the fall when the leaves are changing. The golf course has many unique holes that will test your skill with a variety of different shots. Mature trees line the narrow fairways and there are strategically placed bunkers flanking the greens. You will also come across the occasional water hazard. There are some challenging holes but Crotched Mountain Golf Club is a fair and playable round that will appeal to a wide range of skill levels. The practice facility at Crotched Mountain includes a driving range and two different putting greens, including one with a sand bunker for chipping practice.

Fun Course

The drive to the course was nice and I’m glad I had a GPS to find the place. The course plays short from the white tees although the small undulating greens were challenging if the approach ends up in the wrong spot. The greens rolled true and as they dried out, they became pretty quick. I found it to be a fun course and look forward to my next visit.

This course is great for all golfers!

The course is well maintained, staff is really friendly and the course offers a wide variety of holes for all skill levels. There are challenging holes but also scoreable holes for the average player. You can’t beat the Mountain View either! Get there as soon as you can, worth the drive!!

First and LAST Time

After seeing many TV commercials for this golf course, I was able to book a tee time at a VERY reasonable price. Upon arrival and check-in 45 minutes early, I was allowed to go right out to the first tee. I was playing as a single with my wife riding along with me, There was another single already ahead and we joined up with him on the third hole. He was a member and very familiar with the course layout which helped a lot since there are many blind tee shots. In spite of that, it was impossible for a high handicapper like me to find the narrow and unforgiving sloping fairways on most of my tee shots. Many lost balls! Bunkers had firm, coarse, unraked sand. Some nice scenery on the newer back nine, but that's the only good thing I can say about this course. I will not be returning as there is nothing enjoyable for a 20-handicapper like myself at this course.

Review Sat 7-28-18

Great time playing the course today. Some tough pin placements for a casual Saturday round and it made it even more challenging. Too bad the weather forced us to stop after on 12 holes, but we’ll be back!

Beautiful day on a good and challenging course

Hard to find a more beautiful day for a round of golf! The pace of play was a bit slow due to some type of tournament going on....That being said, It was relaxing and enjoyable. Beautiful day, beautiful venue, and friendly folks all around. A can't miss kinda' day

Worth the drive

As challenging a course as you will find in New England, lots of elevation changes. No quirky holes here, you need every club in the bag. Conditions are top notch, friendly staff and good food.

Impressive Conditions And a Great Experience

I try to play this course at least once a year while I’m up visiting family from my home in Virginia. I love the mountain course layout and the price has always been great. But this time I got even more for my money with exceptional playing conditions and very friendly service.

I don’t remember this course being in as good condition as it was this past visit. Despite a general lack of rain this year the fairways and greens were lush and smooth, putts rolled with perfect speed for the slopes, the bunkers were just about perfect and I had no complaints on the tee boxes or rough either. This course can easily hold its own against others in the area, better than The Shattuck and even Bretwood.

I’ve always loved the layout here with plenty of elevation changes, a few blind shots off the tee, and interesting contours on the greens. The long downhill par-3s on the back nine are the signature holes to me but there are plenty of favorites to choose from. It's not an overly difficult course but it will test your game, especially off the tee as many fairways are a bit tight.

The staff was really friendly and accomodating. They were just finishing up a tournament when I arrived and let me tee off early and I blazed through the course in just over two hours, helped by a gas-powered cart that was probably the fastest golf cart I’ve driven on a course! I only wish the friendly beverage cart girl had made one more round, but I won’t complain.

I got a great GolfNow deal and paid just over $20 for the round, one of the best values of the year for me. I can’t wait to come back and play here again. If you are visiting the Monadnock Region and want to play some good golf, come here!

Course is in great shape

Have played CMGC annually for over 5 years. Course is in the best shape that I have seen during that time. Greens were in excellent condition, and finally #15 green has established itself. The par three’s on the back 9 are exceptional and two of the best in New England. Overall, the course played outstanding and we were even treated to some live music from the patio on the signature 18th - just adding to the incredible view.

Nice course, very, very slow play

Very nice course, with some difficulty. Very enjoyable couple we played with. But, the foursome in front of us held up the entire course by at least 2 holes. They should have a ranger on course. Otherwise we would go back. Everyone we met were very friendly, even all the groups behind us.

Good challenge. Great Views

Course combines targtet golf with tricky greens. You should think about where you want to land the ball and why you want to land it there. Then you have to do it. Greens can be deceiving. This course rewards good play and punishes mistakes. The fairways could you use a little better drainage in some areas; it rained hard the previous day so there were 2 fairways where balls got plugged. Pace of play was slow; it was a Sunday on a holiday weekend so not unexpected. Views of mountain are amazing. Friendly staff. Good food at the restaurant. This place is definitely worth the trip.

Golf in October-New England style

Golf in New England in late October is typically chilly and/or rain. This round the temps hit 71 degrees and it was a perfect day to play.

This course continues to grow on me. Not overly long, it presents a nice assortment of holes that rewards good shots. Keep the ball in play and have some fun.
