THE OAKS

This public track carved through New Hampshire's rolling hardwood forests delivers honest golf without pretense, where autumn maples and towering oaks frame fairways that reward thoughtful course management over raw power. The layout's clever use of natural elevation changes creates blind approach shots and downhill par-3s that test distance control more than most coastal courses twice the price. What separates this gem from countless other New England tracks is its commitment to firm, fast conditions that make even mid-handicappers think twice about their club selection.
