Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play the Mount Washington Course for ideal conditions and those iconic mountain views?

We think late spring through early fall is your sweet spot here. You'll find the course in prime condition, and the White Mountains provide a stunning backdrop, especially when the foliage starts to turn in September. Avoid early spring; it can be a bit wet and chilly, detracting from the experience.

How challenging is the Mount Washington Course for an average golfer, and what should I expect from its Donald Ross design?

This course is a true Ross classic, meaning it's fair but will test your shot-making, especially around the greens. While it's not overly long, the subtle undulations and strategic bunkering demand attention. You'll find it enjoyable and playable for most handicaps, but don't expect an easy stroll - it's a proper golf course.

What makes playing golf at Mount Washington truly unique compared to other resort courses in the United States?

It's the sheer grandeur of the setting combined with the historic charm of the Omni Mount Washington Resort. You're playing a meticulously maintained course with Mount Washington itself towering over you on nearly every hole, particularly memorable on the back nine. It's an experience that feels both grand and intimately connected to nature, unlike many modern resort tracks.

Is playing the Mount Washington Course worth the green fee, and what's included in the cost?

We absolutely think it's worth the investment for the experience; this isn't just a round of golf, it's a destination. Your green fee typically includes a cart and access to practice facilities. For the best value, we recommend looking into stay-and-play packages if you're considering lodging at the resort, as they often offer better rates.

How busy does the Mount Washington Course get during peak season, and what's the best strategy for securing a tee time?

During summer and fall foliage season, this course gets busy, and for good reason. Our advice is to book your tee time as far in advance as possible, especially if you're not staying at the resort. Resort guests often get priority booking windows, so keep that in mind if you're planning a full trip.
