Campbell's Scottish Highlands Golf Course

Played 2 days in a row, the snow had just melted and the course had only been open a week but was in great shape for this early in the season. Greens were excellent, fairways were soft but not plugging. Staff is super nice, price seemed fair for quality of the corse.

Since it opened 20 years ago, CSH has been known for it's excellent course conditions. The owners simply care too much about the course to have it any other way. Aside from the rare summer of drought or during aeration season, this place is always in great shape. Public golfers in the area know this and beat a path to the front door. It is remarkable how well it holds up to all of the play it gets. Now CSH will not crush you with length or severe challenges. This may also be a reason for it's popularity. There are many great uses of the natural hills, waterways and woodlots that are on the property. The 4th hole is a tough par 4 that goes downhill and to the right. You need a big drive down the left center to be able to clear the pond and reach in regulation. On the back nine, holes 10, 12 and 13 seem to be about the same thing, short par 4's that take a driver out of your hands. The 14th will get your attention though, as it requires a long, solid drive. CSH is a great course to build your confidence on. You can learn how to manage a course and make pars with a conservative strategy. It will not be hosting any major championships, but it will keep public golfers on the NH/MA border very happy. This is a course that you should seek out and play.

Not for the beginner as the course does offers various challenges
