Detailed description

Montcalm Golf Club is a private 18-hole golf course located in Enfield, New Hampshire.

The course opened for play in 2004. The course was designed by George Sargent. 

Montcalm was created on 380 acres of rolling hills with dense forests surrounded by towering pines, graceful birch trees and gentle rivers. The course is situated between the Green Mountain National Forest and the White Mountain National Forest, and at an altitude of 1,000 feet, majestic mountain views abound. This is a golf course that conforms to the existing hills and valleys, with a pristine forest landscape. Everything from deer to a family of lynx resides in this peaceful land. Unlike some courses, there are no massive houses or stacks of condos spoiling the landscape of Montcalm.

Sargent's adherence to the Donald Ross philosophy of maintaining as much of the natural character as possible required creative solutions to use the many rolling hills and ravines to an advantage. While the natural terrain provides a challenge to PGA professionals, Montcalm provides playability for all levels of golfer, while emphasizing course management and shot-making skills.

Montcalm’s clubhouse is constructed of Douglas Fir harvested from British Columbia, and built by four skilled craftsmen from Norway to create a building that reflects the Nordic style. It has a cathedral-style ceiling framed by timbers. The front of the clubhouse has an extensive wraparound porch with dozens of rocking chairs so you can admire the mountain’s landscape and rock away your troubles.

The founder of the course was Andrew Sigler, a Dartmouth graduate and a wealthy businessman who had been a member at Hanover Country Club. In 2001 Hanover Country Club was closed for renovations. Sigler decided to create a special course in the mountains. He hired the architectural firm of Wogan and Sargent to design Montcalm.

Mr. Sigler was also a member of Augusta C.C. and wanting to bring a little bit of Georgia to New Hampshire, he had the design firm create a replica of the famous par-3 12th hole at Augusta. It is 161 yards from an elevated tee, a stone wall, and a stream in front of the narrow green. The ultimate golf fantasy for any recreational golfer.

The first hole‘s fairway is a gentle rise up to a generous green that can be reached in two good shots. After holing out, pause for a moment and take in the panoramic view of the Green Mountains, which include the peaks of Killington, Pico, Okemo, and Ascutney.

Black tees: par-72, 6,829 yards
Blue tees: par-72, 6,268 yards
Gold tees: par-72, 5,027 yards
