Angus Lea Golf & Tennis Club
About this course
Angus Lea Golf & Tennis Club sits in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire, where the terrain transitions from the Connecticut River Valley into rolling upland forests. The course was designed by Ed Bedell, a New England-based architect whose work during the latter decades of the twentieth century emphasized playability and integration with natural landforms. The layout occupies terrain typical of this part of New Hampshire—wooded hillsides, modest elevation changes, and glacially influenced topography that provides variety without severe slopes. The routing moves through a mix of open and tree-lined corridors, with holes shaped by the property's natural contours. Water features appear on several holes, and the design incorporates strategic bunkering that rewards accurate approach play. The course serves a membership that values both golf and tennis, reflecting the dual-sport club model common in smaller New England communities. The setting offers views of the surrounding hills and forests, particularly in autumn when the hardwood canopy turns. Angus Lea functions as a community-oriented club in a rural New Hampshire town, providing recreational amenities in a region known for outdoor pursuits and seasonal tourism. The course reflects the practical design sensibilities of its era, offering a straightforward test of golf without dramatic architectural flourishes. It remains a local fixture in Hillsboro, serving residents and visitors seeking golf in the southern New Hampshire highlands.
