BIRCH HILL COUNTRY CLUB

The rolling New Hampshire terrain delivers a classic test through mature hardwood forests, where elevation changes of 200 feet create dramatic approach shots to elevated greens guarded by deep bunkers. The back nine's signature par-3 16th plays downhill over a natural ravine to a peninsula green that demands precise distance control in the thin mountain air. This Lakes Region gem rewards strategic play over power, with narrow fairways that punish wayward drives but offer generous scoring opportunities for those who respect the architect's demands for accuracy.
