About this course
North Conway Country Club whispers of quieter rounds, a retreat carved into the heart of the White Mountains where the echoes of laughter on the 18th green are as cherished as a well-struck drive. This classic New England course unfolds on gently rolling terrain, favoring those who embrace the subtle nuances of the land. While length isn't the defining characteristic, careful club selection and strategic placement are critical to navigating its tree-lined fairways. Originally designed by George Sargent, North Conway presents a traditional parkland layout, its character shaped by the surrounding landscape and defined by the dense white pines. Errant shots are often penalized, not by sheer distance, but by the strategic bunkering that protects the undulating greens. It is rumored that Sargent would sit on the porch of the nearby hotel observing the players, adjusting the course on the fly to maximize the drama. Beyond the course itself, North Conway is woven into the fabric of its community. The annual member-guest tournament is a celebrated affair, a testament to the camaraderie that defines the club's spirit. And afterwards, golfers will find themselves lingering over a plate of the famous crab cakes at the club house, a local delicacy. The atmosphere is convivial, a reminder that golf, at its finest, is as much about fellowship as it is about competition.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Portland International Jetport in Maine, roughly ninety minutes to the southeast, though Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in New Hampshire offers a comparable alternative for those approaching from the south. The drive north into the White Mountains is a study in gradual transformation - interstate yields to two-lane state routes, and the terrain begins its slow, insistent climb as the Presidential Range materializes on the horizon. North Conway itself sits in a dramatic glacial valley where the Saco River cuts through, and the final approach to North Conway Country Club threads through the village center before opening onto fairways framed by some of the most storied peaks in the Northeast.
