About this course

Den Brae Golf Club occupies a rural setting in Sanbornton, New Hampshire, in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire. The course was designed by Henry Homan, a golf architect active in New England during the mid-twentieth century. Like many regional courses of that era, Den Brae reflects the practical constraints and aesthetic preferences of its time: routing through available land, modest earthmoving, and integration with the natural topography of the New Hampshire landscape. The course plays through a mix of woodland and open terrain typical of central New Hampshire, with elevation changes that add variety to the routing. The design makes use of the site's natural features—tree lines, water hazards, and ground movement—to create definition between holes and strategic interest without extensive alteration of the landscape. The alternate tees provide flexibility in course length and difficulty, allowing the club to accommodate different player abilities and adjust the challenge for various competitions and daily play. Den Brae serves the local golfing community and remains a representative example of the modest, well-maintained regional courses that form the backbone of American club golf. The club's character reflects its New England heritage and the understated approach to course design and membership culture common to courses of its vintage and setting in the region.

Getting there

Den Brae Golf Club is most readily accessed via Manchester Airport (MHT), located roughly forty-five minutes south through the rolling New Hampshire countryside, or Boston Logan International (BOS) for those with broader connectivity, a drive of approximately ninety minutes north through the Massachusetts suburbs and into the Lakes Region. The final approach winds away from the main arteries into Sanbornton's quieter terrain, where tree-lined roads and glimpses of local waterways signal the transition from traveler to guest. Private aviation options at nearby Laconia Municipal Airport (LCI) offer a more discreet arrival for those seeking to bypass commercial terminals entirely. Den Brae Golf Club sits nestled in this serene pocket of central New Hampshire, where the journey itself becomes a gentle decompression into the understated elegance of New England golf.
