Hoodkroft at Hoodkroft Country Club

Hoodkroft Country Club sits in Derry, New Hampshire, a town in the southeastern part of the state with a history rooted in New England's textile and manufacturing past. The course was designed by Phil Wogan, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who worked primarily in New England and contributed to the development of several courses across the region during the post-war golf boom. Wogan's designs typically reflect the practical, playable approach common to courses built for growing suburban membership bases during that era.

The layout occupies rolling New Hampshire terrain characteristic of the area, with mature tree-lined fairways and modest elevation changes that provide natural definition to the holes. The property features the mix of hardwoods and pines typical of southern New Hampshire, and the routing takes advantage of the land's contours without requiring dramatic earthmoving. The course serves as a traditional member-focused facility, offering a straightforward test of golf that emphasizes accuracy and course management over length.

Hoodkroft functions as a community club for the Derry area, providing a home course for local golfers and hosting regional amateur events typical of New Hampshire country clubs. The club maintains the kind of informal, accessible atmosphere common to many New England courses established in the mid-twentieth century, where golf remains the central focus and members value consistency and playability in their home layout.
