Twin Lake Village Par 3 Golf Club

Twin Lake Village Par 3 occupies a modest footprint in New London, New Hampshire, a town in the Lake Sunapee region of the state's western highlands. The course was designed by Henry Kidder, whose work in New England during the mid-20th century included several nine-hole layouts and shorter courses suited to recreational play and resort settings. The design reflects the practical approach common to par-3 courses of its era, offering golfers a straightforward test of iron play without the time commitment or walking demands of a regulation course. The routing takes advantage of the area's natural rolling terrain and mature tree cover typical of central New Hampshire. Holes vary in length within the par-3 format, requiring players to use different clubs and manage elevation changes that add interest to what might otherwise be simple target golf. The setting provides views of the surrounding wooded landscape, and the course serves both seasonal visitors to the Lakes Region and local residents seeking a quick round. Twin Lake Village functions as a community amenity within its residential development, offering an accessible golf experience that complements the region's recreational appeal. The course maintains the character of a neighborhood facility where pace of play and informal atmosphere take precedence over championship conditions or tournament pedigree. It represents a category of New England golf—the short course designed for enjoyment rather than examination—that has served generations of players learning the game or simply looking for an afternoon on the links.
