  Course- Hampshire Lakes Golf Club
  Location- Lakes Region, Central NH
  Type- original design by Sam Appleton



   Hampshire Lakes is a fictional course set in the hilly, wooded Lakes
   Region of central NH. I drive through this area a lot during my work
   and decided to create a course with the look of the area.

    The front nine has a lot of holes where a driver will get you in 
   trouble off the tee. Shorter/more accurate will pay off over long
   booming drives here. 
    The back nine has more water in play, but most of it would take a real
   wild shot to get wet. 
    The 18th is a long par 5, with a long 2nd shot over water. You can try 
   to land one on the island, it's tough but possible. Either way you will
   have a 8 or 9 iron approach, unless the wind was with you on your first
   two shots.
    The greens are fair and playable, a few are 3 tiered but not severely.

    The background is borrowed from Chesney's Shattuck, objects from his
   Shattuck and Banff courses and from Schmidt/Pazda's Dunne National.
