New England Golf at Mt. Washington Golf Course

New Hampshire is a truly underrated destination for golf travel, but those familiar with this state’s golfing culture will probably point out the grandeur of the Mount Washington Golf Course, a course that first opened its doors way back in 1915 and has kept visitors happy ever since. Located in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, this is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the United States as it rests among a landscape of colossal boulders and incredible flower gardens. Fall golf doesn't get much more breathtaking that in New England and Mt. Washington G.C.

There is also a fun miniature golf course in proximity to the “full sized” golf range so if you are bringing your family along this may prove to be a really fun destination. As such, if you are planning a fall golf excursion to New England this is definitely a spot to consider.
