CROTCHED MOUNTAIN GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Francestown, NH, USA
Designed by Donald Ross


Crotched Mountain Golf Club sits in the Monadnock Region of southern New Hampshire, where Donald Ross designed the course in the 1920s during his prolific period of work throughout New England. The layout occupies rolling terrain on the slopes of Crotched Mountain, offering golfers a classic Ross routing that moves across natural elevation changes and through wooded corridors typical of the region's landscape. The course reflects Ross's characteristic approach to using existing topography, with greens that feature his signature crowned surfaces and strategic bunkering that rewards thoughtful placement over pure distance.
The property provides views across the surrounding hills and valleys of southwestern New Hampshire, with holes that navigate through a mix of open and tree-lined fairways. Ross designed the course to accommodate the natural contours of the land, creating holes that require golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies while reading the subtle breaks and slopes in the putting surfaces. The layout remains relatively true to its original design intent, preserving the strategic elements that define Ross's work from this era.
Crotched Mountain operates as a semi-private facility that serves both members and visiting golfers during the season. The club maintains the traditional character of a New England mountain course, where the focus remains on the golf experience rather than extensive resort amenities. The setting and Ross pedigree make it a representative example of early twentieth-century design in the region.
