INDIAN MOUND GOLF CLUB

The rolling hills of New Hampshire's Lakes Region serve up a surprising test where elevation changes dictate every club selection and strategic decision. This public track carved through dense hardwood forests demands precise iron play on approach shots that often require an extra club due to dramatic uphill lies, while the signature par-3 8th plunges nearly 100 feet from tee to green. Fall colors here rival any private club in New England, but it's the clever green complexes perched on natural ridges that will have you plotting a return visit long before the leaves change.
