Den Brae Golf Club
About this course
Den Brae Golf Club occupies rolling terrain in Sanbornton, a small town in New Hampshire's Lakes Region between Lake Winnipesaukee and the state capital of Concord. The course was designed by Henry Homan, a regional architect active in New England during the mid-twentieth century who created layouts that worked with natural landforms rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. The property features the moderate elevation changes and mixed hardwood forests typical of central New Hampshire. The routing moves through wooded corridors and more open sections where views extend toward the surrounding hills. Fairways follow the natural contours of the land, and greens are generally modest in size with enough movement to reward accurate approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, and the design asks players to manage position off the tee rather than simply pursue distance. The layout suits recreational golfers while offering enough variety in hole length and shot requirements to remain engaging for regular play. Den Brae functions as a semi-private facility serving both members and daily-fee players in a region where golf operates on a compressed seasonal calendar. The club provides straightforward amenities consistent with community-oriented courses in northern New England. The setting offers the quiet, wooded character common to inland New Hampshire courses, removed from the busier resort areas closer to the major lakes.

Getting there
Den Brae Golf Club sits in the quiet lakeside country of central New Hampshire, most readily accessed via Manchester Airport (MHT), roughly forty-five minutes to the south, or Boston Logan International (BOS) for those with more flexible routing—a ninety-minute drive that rewards patience with the gradual transition from urban sprawl into the forested, lake-dotted landscape of the Lakes Region. The final miles unfold along rural roads that wind past Winnipesaukee's northern shores and through stands of white birch and pine, the air growing noticeably crisper and more remote as you approach Sanbornton. Den Brae announces itself with understated New England grace—a private sanctuary where the journey's unhurried pace mirrors the contemplative nature of the rounds that await.
