Blackmount Country Club

Blackmount Country Club was created in 1996, when Bob and Linda Stoddard converted a hilltop pasture on the former Blackmount Dairy Farm in North Haverhill into a golf course. Directory listings credit the design to Robert Stoddard himself, placing Blackmount among New Hampshire's family-built courses, shaped by owners rather than a touring architect. The result is a nine-hole, par-36 parkland layout on open former farmland, with multiple sets of tees so players of different abilities can share the course. The club offers a driving range, practice putting green, cart rentals and a teaching professional, and it accepts tee times by phone at the clubhouse. Through the season it hosts charity tournaments, private outings and competitive events, and it operates as a semi-private club that welcomes visitors. Its rural Grafton County setting, far from the crowds of the state's southern tier, gives a round here an unhurried, small-town feel.
