Resort Overview
The Balsams is "New England's Resort", an historic destination high in New Hampshire's White Mountains and deep in the Great North Woods. For some 130 years, The Balsams has welcomed guests on vacation or convention from around the world to Dixville Notch to experience its classic all-inclusive American plan hospitality which features, private guest room accommodations, gold medal table d'hôte dining, free and unlimited use of all facilities, activities, and amenities of this 15,000 acre estate. Golf Overview
Since 1897, golf has been a favorite guest activity at The BALSAMS. Legendary golf architect, Donald Ross, built upon the resort's early experiment with golf (a six-hole layout in 1897) by designing The PANORAMA 18-hole course in 1912. Ross personally supervised the construction of this 6,804-yard layout high on the western side of Keyser Mountain. The course is a scenic masterpiece. Golf Courses
Panorama Course at The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel
Architect: Donald RossDescription:
The holes flow naturally over the mountainside and feature Ross' signature elements, such as: deceptively wide fairways with few level lies; small roundish greens, frequently domed, and devilishly difficult; and fescue-walled sand bunkers that serve more as visual obstacles than as actual hazards.
