PEASE GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Portsmouth, NH, USA
Designed by William Bradley Booth
Pease Golf Course occupies land on the former Pease Air Force Base in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, a site that transitioned to civilian use in the 1990s. William Bradley Booth designed the course, which opened in 1991 as part of the base's redevelopment into a mixed-use business and recreational area. The layout makes use of relatively flat terrain characteristic of the coastal New Hampshire region, with the routing shaped by the property's military aviation history and the constraints of the surrounding Pease International Tradeport.
The course serves as a municipal facility, providing accessible public golf to the Portsmouth area and the broader Seacoast region of New Hampshire. The flat topography allows for straightforward walking, though strategic bunkering and water features provide definition and challenge throughout the routing. The setting reflects its airfield origins, with open sightlines and few mature trees compared to traditional New England parkland courses.
Pease functions as a community course that accommodates players of varying abilities, with multiple tee options and a layout that balances playability with enough length and hazard placement to test better players. The facility includes practice areas and serves both regular public play and local tournament golf. Its location near Interstate 95 and Portsmouth makes it a convenient option for residents and visitors to New Hampshire's coastal region.
