# Coashaukee at Balsams Grand Resort Coashaukee is a nine-hole course set within the Balsams Grand Resort in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire, a remote mountain valley in the northern White Mountains. Designed by Jim Smith, the course reflects the dramatic topography and natural landscape of this high-elevation setting. The routing takes advantage of the steep terrain and forest character typical of the region, with play winding through the resort's grounds. The course serves primarily the resort's guests and members, functioning as part of the broader recreational offerings at the Balsams, a historic property known for its mountain hospitality. Nine-hole layouts in resort settings often prioritize accessibility and variety within a compact footprint, and Coashaukee's design likely balances playability with the constraints imposed by the rugged New Hampshire terrain. The course's name reflects the local geography and Native American heritage of the region. As a nine-hole venue, Coashaukee offers a more intimate golf experience than a full eighteen-hole championship course, making it suitable for casual play, instruction, or a quick round during a resort stay. The mountain setting and forest surroundings provide a scenic backdrop typical of northern New England golf, where elevation changes and natural hazards often define the playing experience more than manicured design elements.
