About this course

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.

Getting there

Pease Golf Course sits within the grounds of Portsmouth International Airport (PSM) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, making arrival refreshingly direct: most visitors fly into Manchester Airport (MHT), roughly 50 miles southwest, followed by a straightforward 75-minute drive north along Interstate 93 and Route 16 toward the seacoast. Those with private aviation can land directly at PSM itself, stepping from tarmac to fairway with minimal ceremony. The final miles unfold through New England's characteristic transition from inland highway to coastal approach, with salt marshes and maritime air announcing your arrival at Pease Golf Course, where the runway's proximity to the greens serves as a fitting reminder that this is golf at the intersection of sport and infrastructure.
