Lake Sunapee Country Club

Lake Sunapee Country Club, founded via a 1927 organizing effort among summer and local residents and built to a 1920 Donald Ross design, is a private club in New London at the center of the Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee region's golf-residential story. The course was restored in recent years by architect Ron Forse, returning period bunkering and green complexes and reopening mountain views that had grown over. The club was also, notably, the summer golfing home of Gene Sarazen, one of golf's early Grand Slam winners.

What gives Lake Sunapee Country Club genuine residential relevance beyond its own membership is The Seasons at Lake Sunapee Country Club, a 63-unit condominium community (27 buildings of townhomes plus freestanding single-family units, 1,600-3,900+ square feet) built directly against the club's grounds beginning in 1985 and turned over to its owners in 1993. The Seasons' own marketing emphasizes a short walk to the clubhouse and dining, and describes membership offerings that include golf, tennis, and access to a nearby pool -- though this research could not independently confirm from the club's own materials whether that access is bundled into Seasons ownership costs or purchased separately, and treats the claim cautiously pending direct confirmation.
