Lake Winnepausakee at Lake Winnepausakee Golf Club

Lake Winnepausakee Golf Club sits in New Durham, New Hampshire, in the Lakes Region of the state's central corridor. The course was designed by Clive Clark, a British architect who worked extensively in New England during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Clark's portfolio includes several courses in the region that emphasize natural terrain and minimal earthmoving, and his work at Lake Winnepausakee reflects this approach. The property occupies rolling, wooded land characteristic of central New Hampshire, with elevation changes and stands of pine and hardwood framing the holes.

The routing moves through varied topography, with holes that climb and descend across ridges and through clearings in the forest. Water features appear on several holes, though the course does not directly border Lake Winnipesaukee itself—the name references the nearby body of water that defines the region. The layout requires golfers to manage uneven lies and navigate doglegs shaped by the natural contours and tree lines. Clark's design philosophy favors strategic options over forced carries, allowing multiple routes of play depending on skill level and risk tolerance.

Lake Winnepausakee serves a membership drawn from the surrounding communities and seasonal residents of the Lakes Region. The club operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming outside play alongside member rounds. The setting provides a quiet, forested golf experience typical of New Hampshire's inland courses, with views of distant hills and the wooded landscape that characterizes the state's interior.
