STAY: Here, “stay and play” has more than one meaning. Suggestion: Stand on the tee, well before the casino empties your wallet, and shout as loud as you can: “The Wonder of It All.”. 2, a par 3 dubbed “Yellow Perch,” offers the opportunity to hit downhill on the green to the sound of splashing lake water. Featuring rolling terrain, island greens, and extraordinary views, the award-winning Rees Jones–designed layout can stretch to a whopping 7,300 yards with multiple tee boxes. If you’re one of those golfers whose mantra is, “I can shoot 88 anywhere,” you might need a few more lashes to get through Foxwoods Resort Casino’s challenging Lake of Isles North Course. And that’s just what’s at the resort-from gorgeous Echo Lake Beach to the heart-pumping Mount Washington Cog Railway, there’s no shortage of things to do off-site. The non-golfers in your group, meanwhile, can partake in horseback riding at Bretton Woods Stables, tennis on red-clay courts, and cross-country mountain biking on an extensive trail system. STAY: The White Mountains make a mighty fine backdrop for warm-weather stays at the legendary Omni Mount Washington Resort, which still feels as elegant as it did when the hotel opened in 1902 but is now packed with plenty of modern creature comforts, from the plush spa, where you can enjoy a post-golf massage, to the rooftop bar with breathtaking views. The green is perched on the highest elevation of the mountaintop, and it’s worth mentioning that the spectacular view of the Presidential Mountain Range will last a lifetime. 13, a par-4 slight dogleg right that routes oddly up the side of the mountain. HOLE 1ĭepending on how you feel about your game, the top of Omni Mount Washington Resort’s course, which rises 1,600 feet above sea level, might be a good place to yell at the top of your lungs, so no one can hear, “My game stinks!” Our favorite hole is No. But now it’s time for the big reveal: the 18 must-play resort golf holes-and what to do when you’re not on the course. With so many stunning and challenging holes to choose from, it wasn’t easy to land on the perfect lineup, and many tough choices had to be made. The result is a must-play gem stretching from Vermont’s Green Mountains to the rocky coast of Maine, from the tranquil woods of Connecticut to the scenic shores of Cape Cod. That’s why this golf season, we decided to “build” our own fantasy resort course from 18 of the toughest and greatest holes within the borders of New England. But hitting the green at a place that’s also a vacation destination? Well, now you’ve unlocked the next level of summer fun. New England is home to many of the best golf courses in the country, an embarrassment of riches with jaw-dropping playing fields and top-rated holes unmatched practically anywhere.
