Detailed description

Wentworth By The Sea Country Club is a Private, 18 hole golf course located in Rye, New Hampshire.

This club was originally founded in 1895 and has been listed by the USGA as one of the first 100 clubs established in the U.S. The course first opened for play in 1897, designed by Alex Findlay. The course was redesigned in 1921 by Donald Ross and again in 1964 by Geoffrey Cornish.

This course sits near the Atlantic Ocean and offers ocean views. The terrain is hilly. Numerous deep sand bunkers have been incorporated into the course design.  The fairways are wide open, but there are water hazards that come into play on seven holes, including #2, a 156-yard, par 3, requiring a carry over a pond.  

 

Par for the course is 70. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,381 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 5,167 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 1, a par-5 that plays to 573 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 2, a par-3 that plays to 156 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 1, the 573-yard par-5 challenge is the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 10, a 322 yard par-4.
