1003.0. "Golf in Laconia/Meredith N.H." by CARTUN::STEFANSKI () Thu Jul 05 1990 20:14

    I'll be taking a vacation in the Laconia/Meredith N.H. area in a few
    weeks. Can anyone give me the name(s) of any good golf courses in the
    area, greens fees etc...
    
    Thanks,

1003.1Here are a few...MSEE::KELLEYCustom club fitting/club repairsFri Jul 06 1990 13:0311
    
    Laconia CC, greens fees are high, around $35.00
    
    Maukewan (sp) in Meredith, nice course, around $20
    
    Lakeview, not sure of the town (south of Winni) a nine hole course
    pretty easy and inexpensive...
    
    
    Enjoy

	Laconia CC is a private course.  You'll need to link up with a 
	member or a local/townee (who don't need to be members to play).
	On the other hand, I've heard they have let non-members play
	in the afternoons on slow days....best of luck.  I grew up
	and played at Laconia.  It's a nice course, especially the
	back 9.  This is your best bet.  And yes, the green fees are
	high (not sure if they are $35, but close to that!).

	I think 0.1 meant Waukewan, not Maukewan.  Haven't played it,
	and haven't heard recent conditions.

	Lakeview is a short nine hole course, but it used to be kept
	up well.  I haven't played it in a millenium, so a change of
	hands could have messed it up.  Pretty course, open in middle
	with LOTS of trees on outer edges.  Use to have *intense* 
	roughs -- much like you see on British Open...don't know
	present conditions.

	Oak Hill out by Meredith (off of Parade Road) use to be
	fun (short by tricky greens) when I was "a kid",  but I was 
	told last summer that it's in poor shape now...too bad....

        Final recommendation....look up my cousin (Danny Dutile) in
	Meredith phone book.  He's a golf fanatic up there, and would
	be able to tell you the best spots....if you can get him....
	he likes the Cape....
1003.3Thornton, 25 minutes north on 93.KAPTIN::BLEILarry Bleiweiss 291-9537 NKS5-2/G2Mon Jul 09 1990 15:166
	Jack O'lantern in Thornton (exit 30 on 93) is a very nice course. Just 
	played there this week and it's in very good shape. The best thing is
	they take tee times over the phone and are usually only about 5 minutes
	off, either way.

	Tele no is (603) 745-3636.
1003.4Golf in Laconia/Meredith N.H.AIADM::CAMIREThu Jul 19 1990 15:0115
    Peter,
    
    I'm a member of the White Mountain Country Club, located in Ashland,
    N.H., next exit up from Meredith/Laconia exit 34 on I93.  When you
    get off the exit, go left under I93 overpass, continue straight for
    approximately 1/4 miles, you will see a sign to WMCC, take a right
    and WMCC is located about 2 miles down that road on the left.  Nice
    course not to difficult, 58xx yards long, pituresque, in the middle
    of a mountain area....Cost for 18 holes, I believe it's $16 on
    week-ends, cheeper during the week.....
    
     Regards,
      Roger

    Peter,
    
    Ooooops, hit the wrong key, it's exit 24, off of I93 and not 34....
    
     Sorry

    	My wife asnd I just played Oak Hill last Saturday, and found the
    course to be in very good condition and a friendly, laid-back kind of
    place.  Greens fees were $8 for 9 holes on a Saturday.  I liked the
    course.
