Course Report
Nashua Country Club was the very first design by prolific architect Wayne Stiles, who would go on to design over 140 courses.
About
Nashua Country Club, designed by Wayne Stiles in 1916, presents an 18-hole par-71 parkland course in southern New Hampshire. Revered for its immaculate bentgrass greens and fairways, the course provides a strategic, challenging, yet fun test for all golfers. With recent renovations and a strong social tradition, it remains one of the region’s most reputable private clubs.
Caddie Tip
Prioritize accuracy over power on approach shots, as several green complexes are well-bunkered and slope away from the fairway. Club selection is critical, especially on the front nine, where the subtle elevation changes and tree-lined layout make reading distances tricky for new players.
The Main Challenge
Navigating Nashua Country Club starts with strategic tee shots through tree-lined fairways and careful club selection into small, fast greens protected by bunkers. The most difficult holes often require exacting shot placement, particularly under windy conditions where a misjudged approach can lead to difficult recoveries or high scores.
The Good
Golfers love the classic architectural routing and perfectly maintained bentgrass greens, which offer smooth and true putts. The club’s social atmosphere and commitment to member satisfaction, reflected in tournament play and annual events, make for a strong sense of community and golfing camaraderie.
The Not So Good
Some members and guests suggest that the course could benefit from enhancements to drainage on low-lying fairways, which may get soggy after heavy rains. Additional updates to some teeing areas and expanded practice facilities would further elevate the playing experience.
Signature Hole:
#
2
Hole 2, a par 5, is recognized for its sweeping challenge off the tee and precise play required to navigate strategically placed bunkers. The fairway narrows significantly, demanding an accurate second shot, and the tiered green is well-protected, making birdie opportunities rewarding yet hard-won for those who manage risk and distance control effectively.
Clubhouse
The clubhouse offers formal and casual dining, locker rooms, golf shop, event space, and access to a renovated sports center with a heated Olympic pool, fitness center, and indoor simulators for year-round golf.
Practice Facilities
Practice amenities are comprehensive, including an all-grass driving range, short game area, putting green, professional instruction, and golf simulators for off-season play.
