PALMER COURSE DESIGN ANNOUNCES OPENING OF GOLF CLUB OF NEW ENGLAND
GREENLAND, NH. –Palmer Course Design recently unveiled its first golf course in New Hampshire, the Golf Club of New England, a private stand-alone golf course nestled on 450 acres of lush woodlands and natural terrain.
“We were able to work with the native topography and some exciting natural elements to create a pure golf experience,” said Erik Larsen, one of the architects of the Golf Club of New England. “The Golf Club of New England is simply about golf. Our design offers multiple playing strategies, providing players a unique golf experience at every hole.”
The Golf Club of New England is a 7,122-yard, par-72 course located in the seacoast region of New Hampshire. It was a collaborative effort between Larsen and Project Architect Harrison Minchew, a talented design team that took advantage of the stunning landscape in their design of this core golf course. The course features nice roll from tee to green, exciting vertical changes, open fields, wetlands, running streams and a wide variety of mature trees.
“Designing a stand-alone course gives you the freedom to have fun with the layout,” Larsen added. “The Golf Club of New England was a pleasure to design, but seeing the finished product after 18 months and having it come out even more beautiful than we envisioned, is really rewarding.”
The design team created the holes to be a balanced combination of demanding but enjoyable play with pictorial natural beauty, which is evident on holes such as the No. 8, where carrying the ball over the marsh is just half the battle. Tall, lush grass on the edges of intimidating bunkers contrasting with beautifully manicured bentgrass fairways creates drama and challenging play from the 1st tee to the 18th green.
