Architect Donald Ross designed the 18-hole Mount Washington golf course, which was
originally completed in 1915. This par 71 course has hosted four New Hampshire Opens
and reopened Aug. 1, 2008, after being restored to Donald Ross' original plans by
golf course architect Brian Silva. The course includes bunkers crafted in a classic
flair, infinite varieties of recovery shots in the closely cropped areas around
the putting greens, and stunning views of the Mount Washington Hotel and surrounding
mountains.
