1554.0. "Info. wanted on Hampton Courses?" by NEST::DEERY () Wed Jul 22 1992 15:38

    
    I'll be spending some time in Hampton early August. I was wondering if
    anyone had any info on Sagamore Golf course? 
    
    I'd also be interested in hearing about Far Corners, what town is it
    in?  How far from Hampton is it?  Green Fees etc.?
    
    Any other Courses anyone could recommend would also be appreciated!
    
    thanks,

    Wentworth by the Sea is about 30 minutes north....and a very pretty
    course.  It's not all that long, and some of the holes are kinda funky
    (one is a tight par 5 (I think) that has these huge 'moguls' all down
    the fairway)......but I enjoyed playing it.  I played well that
    day..I'm a 15 Hdcp., and shot an 81.....thus, the course is scenic and
    beatable!!!

    Make sure you play Portsmouth CC.  Always rated in the top 5 courses
    in the state by Golf Digest.

    	Sagamore is a par 71 (35/36), 5822 yds from the whites, pretty wide
    open on the front and kinda tight on the back, its in good shape for
    a course that uses no chemicals (one of the few around), greens are
    slow compared to most places and there is no rough. fees are $23, there
    are no power carts available and tee times can be made 7 days in
    advance. ph# 603-964-5341
    
    	Pease (as in Air Force Base) is about 10 minutes further up the
    road and is a very nice course, I think it is also a par 71 but there
    is rough and out-of-bounds to contend with, greens are fast but fair, 
    fees are $20 and tee times can be made 3 days in advance.
    
    
    I've played Sagamore for years but now that Pease is open to the public
    it gets my vote.
    
    Others to try are East Kingston near the Seabrook dogtrack (rt107?)
    Exeter Country Club (9 holes) I've heard its in nice shape and 1 more
    in Greenland but the name escapes me right now.

    Hi
    
      You can try Amesbury Golf Club which is off route 110/95. It's about
    10-15 minutes from Hampton. It's nine holes but accepts tee times
