SAGAMORE-HAMPTON GOLF CLUB

The rolling New Hampshire coastline serves up a deceptively challenging layout where ocean breezes turn routine approach shots into calculated gambles. Donald Ross-inspired bunkering and undulating greens demand precise iron play, particularly on the par-3 16th that plays over a stone-walled ravine to a crown green that sheds errant shots like water off a duck's back. This Seacoast gem rewards local knowledge—the prevailing southwest wind makes the back nine play two clubs different than the scorecard suggests.
