In Times Past: On the historic links

Locally, 10 golf courses were established over the years. Some were public and others private. Some relied on tourism, while some served local residents. Some were designer courses, while others forced players to share the fairways with grazing cows. Of the 10, seven have closed, their fairways no longer discernable. Only Bradford Golf Club, Lake Morey Country Club in Fairlee and Blackmount Country Club in North Haverhill still operate.
