North Conway Country Club

North Conway Country Club was founded in 1895 on farmland along the Saco River just below North Conway Village, and its first holes were ready that same year. In 1900 Alex H. Findlay laid out a nine-hole course, then known as the Kearsage Golf Links, that measured 2,743 yards to a par of 40. Ralph M. Barton remodeled those nine holes in 1935 and added a second set of tees so the course could be played as an 18-hole round of par 70. The club became a true 18-hole course in 1975, when Philip Wogan added a new nine, with local designer William Levy also credited on the back nine, bringing the layout to 6,281 yards and par 71. A new clubhouse opened in 1985 looking out toward Cathedral and White Horse Ledges. The Saco River bordered the property on both sides and water came into play on five holes, most famously on the 318-yard fifth, which bent along the river. The course hosted the New Hampshire Open in 2003, 2005 and 2007, the New Hampshire Amateur in 2001 and 2021, and the New England Women's Amateur in 2020.
