FAQ
1. What is the climate in New Hampshire?
As with every New England state, the further away from the coast, the
warmer it gets, which means once you get into the mountains of inner New
Hampshire, temps are five to ten degrees warmer. Summers in New Hampshire
range from May to August, with highs rarely over 90. The golf season in
New Hampshire ranges from early May to late September. After that, resorts
and courses begin shutting down for the winter ski season.
2. How rugged is New Hampshire?
New Hampshire is known more for its ski resorts than golf, and
Mount Washington, located in New Hampshire is the tallest point
in New England. The average elevation is about 1,000 feet, or about
1/5 of a mile. Only 1.2 million people inhabit New Hampshire, but
coastal towns such as Portsmouth are one of the most visited places
in the state.
3. What’s there to do in Hampton Beach?
Hampton Beach is one of New Hampshire’s most popular summer
playgrounds, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Aside from
the normal array of beach activities, Hampton Beach also has two
courses in town, Sagamore Hampton Golf Course and Breakfast Hill,
located just three miles from Portsmouth.
4. I heard there’s no sales tax in New Hampshire.
Is this true?
It’s a tourist’s dream, especially if you’ve
been to New York City lately. “Live Free or Die” is
the state motto, and they stick to it, so if something is $5.99,
it’s $5.99.
5. Where are the best places for the public to play in
New Hampshire?
According to Golf Digest’s state rankings, the Balsams Panorama
course was the head of the class in New Hampshire, and it’s
open to the public. Other public courses recognized on the list
were Portsmouth Country Club, Bretwood North Golf Course and Shattuck
Golf Cours in Jaffrey.
