About Omni Mount Washington Resort — Mount Washington Course
The Mount Washington Course is the Donald Ross 18 at the Omni Mount Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. It is a par 72 of 7,004 yards from the back tees. The Presidential Range forms the backdrop, yet the ground itself is fairly gentle, with only modest changes in elevation. Bunkers are classic in style, and closely mown areas around the greens give golfers a choice of recovery shots rather than one forced line.
- Golfweek has repeatedly named it the best course you can play in New Hampshire, starting in 2009.
- The course has hosted four New Hampshire Opens.
- The New England Open Championship was played here in 2010, soon after the restoration.
- A separate nine-hole course shares the resort, a links-style layout that runs beside the Ammonoosuc River.
History of Omni Mount Washington Resort — Mount Washington Course
Donald Ross completed the Mount Washington Course in 1915, and it became the resort's second golf course after the original nine-hole layout. In 2008 Brian Silva restored it to Ross's original plans, rebuilding bunkers in a classic style and shaping tightly mown recovery areas around the greens. The course reopened in August of that year.
