18 Hole Course
Apple Hill Golf Club

About this course
Apple Hill Golf Club sits in the rural southeastern corner of New Hampshire, just inland from the Massachusetts border in East Kingston. Designed by Frank Colanton, the course occupies rolling New England terrain characteristic of the region's glacial landscape, with natural elevation changes and wooded corridors framing the holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's native topography, moving through stands of hardwoods and pines that define playing corridors and create a traditional tree-lined aesthetic common to courses in this part of the state. The layout reflects Colanton's regional design work from the latter decades of the twentieth century, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural features of the site. Greens are typically elevated or protected by bunkers, and several holes require approach shots that account for both slope and wind exposure. Water comes into play on a handful of holes, adding strategic variety to the round. Apple Hill operates as a semi-private facility, serving both members and daily-fee players. The club provides a straightforward golf experience focused on the course itself, with amenities that support casual and competitive play. The setting remains relatively quiet and wooded, offering a contrast to more developed areas closer to the New Hampshire seacoast. The course attracts golfers from the surrounding towns and the greater Seacoast region who seek accessible golf in a natural, unpretentious environment.

Getting there
The journey to Apple Hill Golf Club begins at Boston's Logan International Airport (BOS), roughly an hour's drive north into the quiet, rolling countryside of New Hampshire's seacoast region. The route traces I-95 across the state line before peeling inland through a patchwork of colonial-era villages and stone-walled farmland, the urban hum of greater Boston giving way to the unhurried rhythm of rural New England. As you approach East Kingston, narrow country lanes wind beneath canopies of hardwood and pine, the landscape opening onto gentle ridgelines that hint at the elevated, pastoral character of the club itself - a secluded retreat where the game unfolds far from the crowds of the coast.
