About this course
The North Course at Bretwood Golf Course in Keene, New Hampshire, traces to a design by Geoffrey Cornish, whose original nine holes opened in the late 1960s. Architect Hugh Barrett, who had worked with Cornish, added a second nine in 1989 that was paired with Cornish's back nine to form the current North layout, while a separate combination forms the club's South Course. The two 18-hole courses share routing along the Ashuelot River, with tree-lined fairways, water in play on numerous holes and noticeable elevation change for the region. Bretwood is a family-owned, 36-hole public facility, one of the larger golf operations in New Hampshire, with a driving range and practice areas shared between both courses.

Bentgrass fairways and greens wind through the river valley terrain on both layouts.
Hooper Golf Course
Walpole, NH · 11 mi away
Hooper Golf Course sits at the top of Prospect Hill Road in Walpole, New Hampshire. Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek designed the nine holes, and the course opened on July 2, 1927, a year after the Hooper Golf Club formed. The old Watkins Tavern serves as the clubhouse. The land rolls hard, and the greens are small, tilted and full of movement, which keeps the course playing firm against modern equipment. Hooper measures 3,033 yards at par 36 from the back tees. It is a public 9-hole course that also offers memberships.
Brattleboro Country Club
Brattleboro, VT · 15 mi away

The public, 18-hole course measures about 6,533 yards from the tips. It has hosted the Vermont Amateur Championship and the Vermont Senior Amateur Championship. The club also operates a restaurant and extensive practice facilities in southern Vermont.
