Best in State
The best golf courses in New Hampshire
The five courses in this year's New Hampshire ranking are all located in the southern half of the state. The Golf Club of New England and Portsmouth Country Club are near Portsmouth, a city on the small section of Atlantic Coast between Maine and Massachusetts. The other three exhude a more traditional, secluded New England mountain feel, including the top-ranked course, Baker Hill, by the shore of Lake Sunapee and Lake Winnipesaukee near a lake of the same name.
Below you'll find our 2023-'24 ranking of the Best Golf Courses in New Hampshire.
