The first: Par-4, 407. Hitting from a high tee, you should enjoy this view before the day’s opening drive over the Ammonoosuc River. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

Six: par-5, 523: The first-rate par-five plays straightaway, but be aware of the angular fashion by which its bunkers are configured. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

Eleventh: par-5, 542. A dandy of a par-five. The vintage hotel adds to a pleasant backdrop. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

The thirteenth, a par-4 of 411. Maybe the most sophisticated hole on the course, it puts up strong scoring resistance. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

14: Merely a 242-yard, stupendous par-three to a reverse-Redan, wildly sloping green--preceded by a modest strip of fairway. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

18: Playing over the river, this 434-yard closer features a huge greenside bunker, nearly invisible from this view. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/18/2021

Great golf in spectacular setting
The Mount Washington course is an excellent layout in an updated Donald Ross course. The greens have recovered well from a very difficult winter; a little bumpy in places, but not enough to detract from the experience. One or two holes were a little wet from recent heavy rains (but these holes tend not to drain as well anyway). Views to Mt Washington and the hotel on most of the holes make this a visually spectacular golfing experience.
Breathtaking layout
Last played here 10 years ago. Major improvements in conditions. Very fair with some challenging holes. Great value for the price and you just have to visit the Mt Washington Hotel after your round. Historic and magnificent
Beautiful course to play.
This is one of the better courses to play in. NH. Always in good shape. Had some winter kill on a few greens but the remainder of the course was in great shape. Course is challenging enough to make it competitive but not to make it frustrating. Staff is great, everything you need they make sure you have.
Great setting for golf
Spectacular views of Mt. Washington, as usual a brilliantly routed Donald Ross layout, well restored and updated for modern golf.
Magnificent Course - Disappointing Playing Conditions
A beautiful three-hundred acre meadow, surrounded in all directions by spectacular mile-high mountains and frame by millions of giant pine trees...that was golf course architect Donald Ross’ extraordinary landscape one hundred years ago when he set out to design the Mount Washington Golf Course.
Ross - understanding the unique and profound setting - deviated from his standard formulas at Mt. Washington. Faced with the potential monotony of almost no elevation changes, he scores of fairway bunkers and, instead of locating them at the edges of fairways, be turned them ninety degrees, placed many of them well within the fairway divides. And he raised most of them three-to-seven feet above fairway height. As spectacular as the general setting of Mt. Washington might be, the golfer who plays this course will most remember the course for these raised fairway bunkers. They are beautiful and they are deadly.
And, recently, architect Brian Silva was called in to lengthen the course while - as the same time - bring the course back to its former grandeur. Silva, as usual, did an extraordinary job of this.
Many of the holes are relatively short, but Ross interspersed his fair share of heroic holes...he is known for this, particularly for heroic and long par three holes. The 14th at Mt. Washington, at 245 from the tips, is such a hole. Downhill and set against the prevailing wind, the hole punishes all shots hit to the right or short of the green. The is a well-travelled bale-out area to the left. But those who bale are then faced with downhill sloping green. Forget pitching it close to the hole. You won’t forget the 14th.
Memorable also is the wonderful 18th, a par four of 434 yards where the approach shot must carry the river to reach the green. What a beauty!
Sadly, Mt. Washington was hit hard this winter and conditions at the course are disappointing. The greens, many of them, have failed to grow in. Putting is an iffy affair. Likewise, fairways and rough areas are sparse and inconsistent. Playing preferred lies is an absolute necessity.
My recommendation to golfers might be to wait until the autumn when the course will have had a change to further recover. It will be worth the wait.
what a view
big bang for the buck...... in a gorgeous setting....don't just drive by
Bad winter, but there is hope...
Beautiful Ross course in lovely setting. Still some winter kill on course and greens, but clearly improving. And a great deal on a course that's clearly 5 stars when in shape. Very pleasant staff all around, and with the exception of the (expected) downpour on 17 and 18 a great day.
Not worth the money.
Greens are terrible. Evidently this winter was harsh with a January thaw and then refreeze. Other courses in the area have addressed and fixed much better than this course. It might be better in another month, but for now, don't waste your money.
Amazing views
Every shot here looks like you're hitting into a postcard. The resort is beautiful, and the grill in the clubhouse makes great food at reasonable prices. My only complaints are there was a lot of ground under repair that didn't look to be getting repaired. Also, they let resort guests walk and bike through the course.
Mount Washington Resort - nice track
first time I've played it since it was overhauled about 8 years ago. Very nice layout but it's one of those courses you need to play again soon. Had some trouble with distances to traps/hazards and ultimately paid for it. I'll know better next time. Greens were a little grainy but many in this area are much poorer. Hot a thank God it was windy as the horse flies were taking chunks. Very nice layout.
Beautiful Course
The scenery is spectacular, overall the course is in great condition. Would definitely would play again.
beautiful setting, great day out
Arrived early, had lunch (huge sandwich, took half with me for later on the course), hit balls, got out half hour early, on my own. On a Saturday afternoon! A few of the greens had some damage, but the course is a solid Donald Ross design. The setting is spectacular. At the base of Mt. Washington, the old hotel is always in the background (lots of picture opps). The round took less than 3 1/2 hours. Played great, had a blast. The value was outstanding; thank you, GolfNow. I'll be back, maybe mix in a ride to the top on the cog railway.
beautiful course
the course was beautiful except for the greens which had winter kill
Golfing in the Whites
Interesting course - short, small greens and bunkers in play. The short holes gave me the most issues. They were working on the tees on the front which was disappointing. Overall the course was in good shape and the location can't be beat. I'll go back.
3 Couples, Very walkable and challenging bunkers
I played the Mt Washington course on Saturday October 5th and the weather was beautiful. 3 couples, and all had a great day. The woman liked the red tee advantage and the men enjoyed the placement of all the bunkers. The course was in great shape. It was busy and moved along very smoothly, we started just after lunch.
fantastic views,great day with friends
pristine course conditions with a challenge on every hole, views are spectacular and staff was very friendly, good lunch at the 19th hole
Absolutely stunning!
With fall foilage in full swing, you can't find a more beautiful backdrop. My father and I found ourselves taking in the views from every hole. The course conditions were superb as well. The Mt Washington course deserves every award they've received. I will be reminiscing about this round for months to come.
Well restored Donald Ross course.
This old Donald Ross designed course has undergone a remarkable restoration. I played there before and there is no comparison to the pristine condition that it now enjoys. The views and vistas are second to none in New England. The only drawback was that close tee times led to an overcrowding delay for the first 7 holes. Otherwise it was an all around enjoyable round.
Strategic bunker placement, very well maintained
Strategic bunker placement, very well maintained, course is shared w/ horseback riding leading to slight delay off 1st tee
Wow what a day!
I heard about this course from some folks at owls nest and they told me that its shape was superior to it. I wanted to see it for myself.
I got of at 700am with a super deal, including cart. There was no one else playing the course. In fact I didn't see one other group until the eight hole. I zipped around in a little under 2 and half hours.
The course was beautiful from tee to green, just perfect, you couldn't find a bad lie. It had the conditions of a private course. Great layout, with enough design to mix it up and present challenging and easy shots alike. I can't say enough about the layout and conditions,
Stunning views of the mount Washington hotel, and the rolling white mountains were the background. Compared to owls nest, the views were not as much eye candy, although I enjoyed this course much more.
Super friendly staff and a nice complex to explore as the hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the proshop. Had a fantastic day and will for sure go back again , my favorite course I've played this year
