Crotched Mountain Resort

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.

My buddy and I booked a tee time at Crotched Mountain pretty much on a whim and didn't have very high expectations...but a short ride in the country during foliage season seemed like a fun idea. The drive turned out to be a lot longer than expected (1 hour 20 minutes) but, as it turns out, I'll surely be making it again.

We totally enjoy playing The Shattuck in Jaffrey and found that Crotched Mountain was somewhat similar but it was a lot better manicured. The fairways, bunkers and greens were surprisingly well maintained. If you like Donald Ross courses, you'll love this one. The views were great (check some of the pictures I took - assuming they upload) and the golf was outstanding. Most holes didn't require a driver but they all seemed to require landing the ball in the right place with a 3-wood off the blue tees. Target golf at its best! Undulating, slanted greens make it a challenge but they roll true and make it fun. I think a good sense humor and an appreciation for beautiful scenery would really help those of us who aren't scratch golfers.

We sat on the deck overlooking the 18th green and enjoyed a quick but delicious lunch after our round, The bartender poured my Guinness properly (fill 3/4, rest, finish pouring) so it was a fitting end to a most enjoyable day.

Hopefully we can get back yo Crotched Mountain several times before the snow falls!

This course is very difficult and a reality check for anyone who plays well on the more flat tracks around New England. The rough is almost unfair at times but if you keep it in the fairway like you’re supposed to with a wood or long iron there is an opportunity to go low or at least shoot par on every hole. My locals tip is after the 13th hole keep your driver in the bag for the rest of the round! With that being said it’s always in great condition (wet but you can’t control Mother Nature) and the owner is very friendly and always around getting his hands dirty trying to make improvements very which to me is commendable!

I’m partial to Donald Ross layouts and this one was designed (front 9 only) during his heyday of great courses.

Not overwhelming long but a nice test of golf inviting you to use your irons but also the occasional risk/reward use of the driver.

Greens can be tricky and a lot of uneven lies on the back nine.

Beautiful views worth the trip!

Course in good shape. Must keep it in fairway rough a little unfair.

I has an enjoyable round of golf. The course was in good shape. I would play it again.

Great course, greens nice fairways too. Tee boxed well manicured also.

Labor Day 4 hour round, greens recently aerated. Course requires above average skill, nothing is level, unforgiving tree-lined fairways, groomed sand traps. Late for tee time due to local parades, no problem. Will be back again soon.

I've been golfing here for the last three years. Conditions have improved every year. Greens are excellent though they had just punched them. Fairways are nice, some tough spots, but overall very nice. Good layout though you'll find a couple very difficult holes because of "crowned" fairways that make hitting the fairway very difficult. You'll love the views. Good pub/grille/restaurant when you're done. Nice deck overlooking the 18th green

We got to play during the solar eclipse. The course was in great shape.

Beautiful, challenging course in great shape. Will play again.

This was an excellent day at this course went in the gentleman that worked at the desk was very accommodating and nice the cart beverage girl was very friendly .I had no problem playing 18 holes with no wait time i hooked up with a man that I didn't know but he was really nice and about the same skill level as me I would highly recommend this course to people it's in like an old school 1970 style Clubhouse very quaint and a nice little small town I will be back again

Used my driver three times. Makes you really think about your tee shots. Loved it!

Course tucked into the woods, great elevation changes. tricky undulating greens. You do not need driver on every hole so course knowledge is key. Water features on the front 9. Alot of sidehill lies on the back 9

Great course , very challenging up and down course on the side of Crotches mountain, only negative was the edges have lots of poison ivy which makes it difficult to retrieve errant shots, however balls are cheap price to pay for a great time , love this course and try to play a few times on my NH visits.

We arried it was sprinkling. We went in for lunch to wait it out. Lunch was good, staff was very friendly.

Rain never stopped so we had the track to ourselves most of the day. My daughter had a great time even though we were soaked. The cartpaths neef a little attention they were rocky. But hey your on a mountain with great views. We made the best of it. I would definitely play here again next year when we return to NH for the races.
