About this course
Bide-A-Wee Golf Course is a city-owned course in Portsmouth that first opened in 1920. Chandler Harper ran it for years, and Curtis Strange, who learned there as a teenager, worked with architect Tom Clark on a full rebuild completed around 1999.
The rebuild took out thousands of pines that shaded the course and added eight lakes on what was flat, wet ground. It also brought new greens, bunkers and a practice area. It plays as a par 72.
It is open to the public, with a pro shop, grill and a pavilion for events.
