Waumbek Golf Club: Play Historic Fairways & Save
Step up to the tee at Waumbek Golf Course in Jefferson, NH, a true gem of the Granite State with more history than your old set of persimmon woods. Waumbek is New Hampshire’s oldest course, established in 1895, and offering jaw-dropping views of the Presidential Range on every hole. With every shot, you’ll have Cherry Mountain as your backdrop, playing undulating fairways framed by maples, birches, and lush pines, and greens.
Willie Norton (one of the first Scottish golf professionals to journey to America), laid the first nine holes at Waumbek in 1895. America’s first “homegrown” golf professional, Arthur Fenn discovered the Waumbek in 1898. He extended the course to 18 holes, making it one of the longest courses in the United States at that time. The course attracted the first US Open Winner, Horace Rawlings in 1899. Mr. Rawlings fiddled with the course repeatedly during his six-year stay at Waumbek. In the 1920’s, Ralph Barton put his own stamp on the old tester, making it well over 6,000 yards, as it is today. The mystique of the golf course is that 90% of the greens slope toward Cherry Mountain.
Today, with a fresh new clubhouse, redesigned holes, state-of-the-art electric carts, and top-notch drainage and irrigation, Waumbek is playing better than ever. Don’t forget to grab a post-round bite at Fenn’s Way Restaurant, where you can toast to your eagles and laugh off your bogeys while soaking in mountain views as epic as your drive.
Guests booking through Bretton Woods Vacations score an exclusive 20% off greens fees. With rentals sprinkled across the North Country (think Littleton, Bethlehem, Franconia, and Bretton Woods), it’s easy to find your perfect home base and “stay and play” in style.
Maplewood Golf Club: Stay & Play for Groups
Bretton Woods Vacations Group Golf Packages at the Maplewood Golf Club in Bethlehem, NH are perfect for groups looking to make golf the centerpiece of their trip. This 18-hole championship course, designed by Donald Ross, is known for its meticulously maintained fairways, breathtaking mountain scenery, and a rare par-6 challenge on Hole 16.
After a fantastic day on the course, kick back at the course-side Maplewood Inn, a historic haven with 20 private rooms perfect for golf groups. Formerly a casino from the 1880s, the inn is your own private clubhouse, complete with a wraparound porch, cozy lounges, and New England charm.

Maplewood Inn’s group-friendly setup starts with four rooms and can accommodate larger crews — just bring your A-game and they’ll handle the rest.
Mountainview Grand Golf Course: Classic Resort Amenity
Welcoming their first guests in 1865 on the stagecoach route from Boston to Montreal, the Mountain View Grand in Whitefield, NH has been dazzling visitors with their majestic 360-degree views ever since. By 1900, a nine-hole golf course had been installed, designed by Harvard math professor Ralph Barton. The property was still a working farm at this time, however, and most of the course could not be played until the hay had been harvested. Feeding the horses came before playing golf.
Today, this historic nine-hole golf course offers panoramic views and a fun challenge for players of all levels. Guests of Bretton Woods Vacations can stay and play with a 20% discount on greens fees at this classic course.
