Few corners of New Hampshire feel as unhurried as the Lakes Region, and New Durham sits right at its edge — a small, quiet town on the southeastern shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, the largest lake in the state. The surrounding landscape is classic northern New England: granite-laced hills, mixed hardwood and pine forest, and a light that shifts dramatically with the seasons. Golf here is less about prestige than it is about place.
Lake Winnipesaukee Golf Club plays as a full 18-hole, par-72 layout in that spirit — a course where the setting does much of the storytelling. The Lakes Region has historically been a warm-weather escape for families from Boston and southern New England, and the golf culture reflects that: accessible, relaxed, and rooted in summer tradition rather than tournament ambition.
Fall is arguably the strongest argument for a round here. When the hardwoods turn across the hillsides of Strafford County, the backdrop becomes something a scorecard simply cannot convey. Come prepared for terrain that rewards local knowledge.
