Abenaqui Country Club

Rye sits on a narrow band of New Hampshire's 18-mile coastline — the shortest ocean frontage of any U.S. state — where Atlantic breezes, rocky headlands, and salt-influenced turf define the playing environment. Conditions here shift quickly, and the wind off the water is rarely a non-factor, lending par its full meaning on days when the coast asserts itself.

As a private members' club, Abenaqui runs on the rhythms of community and tradition rather than resort traffic. Guests typically need a member introduction, making access feel earned — and for those who get on, that exclusivity is part of what makes the round feel like something worth remembering.
