The course was designed by Donald Ross, the ‘Father of American Golf Course Architecture’, in the late 1920’s. Considered a Ross gem, the course routing reflects his design excellence: at Sunapee very little walking is required from one green to the next tee. And true to the Ross design philosophy, the "course can take care of every class of golfer". Fair but challenging, each golf hole presents a different problem. One is never bored when confronted by the subtleties of a master such as Ross.
