Beautiful, difficult, interesting mountain course. Drove 55 minutes, well worth the drive.

Fun Day despite hard to get to

Course conditions ok, tees uneven and long grass. Pace of play slowed due to foursome not allowing groups to play thru. Ranger came out on first hole to tell us cart path only but never spoke to slow group holding everyone up. Fun different layout which allowed for a great match. Par 3's very scenic and a fair challenge.

Enjoyable round

Interesting course to play for the first time - there Were some blind shots and all of the par threes have dramatic elevation changes. I thought the scenery was better on the back nine. I thought 14 was a interesting hole to play the second shot. I plan to return.

Hidden Gem

This course has the best greens in southern NH. It is a shorter course but very challenging. Course management is a must here! The overall course us in great shape and I played 18 in just under 3 hours on a Tuesday morning. A must play if you are in the area.

OK, but terrible drainage

No Marshalls, so no policing of slow play. Greens pretty good, but spoilt by some weedy bunkers and unkept (natural?) second cut. Average shots are punished unnecessarily. A cheap practice round.

With some more maintenance would be very good

The course is certainly improved from prior ownership, but is in a rural area, so hard to build a large enough group for play to maintain the course in a way it could be. There was crab grass in most bunkers, and I don't mean just a little bit. The greens would be more fun to play if they were shorter, but at least their overall condition is very good. I do like the people that work there, and their restaurant is outstanding. If it were closer to larger population centers they would be able to charge much more and maintain it well.

Nice course with some great views

First time playing this course, and found it to be challenging. The course was in excellent shape. Read the course overview - good tips for the first timer.

Bring a Camera!

Crotched Mountain is a classic New Hampshire Resort golf course. These resort courses are meant to be played as an aesthetic experience; the vistas to be enjoyed as much as the golf course itself. For me, this afternoon's ride around Crotched Mountain's eighteen holes would have been worth the money if I hadn't hit a single shot.

The course is very short, playing about 6,000 from the tips. I left my driver and 3-wood in the trunk and used a 5-wood off the tees. The holes, many of them, are quite narrow with extreme elevation changes. I had very few level lies all day.

For such a short course, Crotched Mountain sports three very long & tough downhill par three holes, the 6th, 16th and 18th. These three holes would be welcome additions to any championship track.

Conditions at Crotched Mountain? Look, this the west Central New Hampshire at an elevation of about 1,000 above sea level. It's a challenge to recover from the long winters. At this course, the groundskeeper has done a pretty darned good job. Seventeen of the 18 greens are in perfect shape, running at about 9 on the Stimpmeter. The tee boxes are a bit scruffy and several of them suffer from "crowning", so you've got to be careful where you tee your ball. There are many areas around the greens where bare patches make chipping and pitching the ball almost impossible. Fairways are in good shape.

I interacted two indifferent staff members in the pro shop, both of whom failed to even make eye contact with me. They stared at the computerized screen on the cash register and seemed relieved when I completed my brief transactions.

As I got ready to tee off on the first hole, I watched a foursome finish up on the eighteenth. I noticed that these folks - senior players - had actually walked the course. They are better men than me. A walking loop around Crotched Mountain is much like a mountain hike. Trust me, take a cart.

I played alone and fast, with no one ahead of me. Eighteen beautiful holes in an hour-and-forty-five minutes. What a joy!

Nice layout

Tee boxes, fairways & greens in excellent condition. Playable course, but strokes can pile up quickly with errant shots. Love the downhill par 3's!

Crotched Mountain

Great course layout and excellent value. Course was in good condition considering there was a tropical storm 2 days earlier that brought large amount of rain.

Exceptional value for the price

Course in great shape. Play was normal
Pace. Can't beat the price. Challenging but satisfying accomplishments. Greens are tough. Grounds person does not know how to support play through etiquette.

It's Crotched Mountain, not crotched plains.

There are some severe elevation changes, so be prepared to hit up and down hill. But some of the views are spectacular even in the spring. The course is challenging, be sure to pick the right tee boxes. Making this course longer does not improve enjoyment. Greens are very interesting and can be perplexing. Bunkers were moist and compact due to rainy days preceding my round. Overall the course is in great shape for this time of year.

What a gem!

Great experience playing there in fall of 2013. Golf Professional was great, the course was in fantastic condition, I flew around and was home in a quicker time than if I had played my local overly packed track! What a Gem!
