About Birch Hill Country Club
Birch Hill Country Club in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, is where mountain golf shows its teeth—thanks to 218 meters of elevation change, every round feels like a true adventure. Designed by a local team in 1941, this semi-private course stretches to 6,573 yards and isn’t shy about challenging your game. With a slope rating of 142, it plays tougher than it looks from the clubhouse window, especially as you start winding through its five doglegs and navigating 37 strategically placed bunkers.
You’ll quickly learn why carts are a popular choice here; the hills are relentless, and the walkability score tells no lies. But those climbs are rewarded with some knockout views—on a clear day, glimpses of the Lakes Region and distant ridgelines add real drama to your round. Water hazards come into play just often enough to keep things interesting, demanding accuracy on approaches and the occasional nervy layup.
Signature moments include the long par-4 fourth, where a well-placed drive must carry a deep valley and flirt with a pair of bunkers guarding a sloping green. Later, the back nine’s elevation peaks on a tee box that feels like the top of the world, letting you launch a drive straight toward the White Mountains.
Course conditions are consistently solid, with greens that roll true and fairways that reward well-struck shots. Birch Hill is best suited for confident players who don’t mind a physical test—if you relish strategy and aren’t afraid of a cart path, this rugged slice of New Hampshire is calling your name.
