pheasant ridge is a good choice. forgiving layout and reasonably priced. second choice would be kingswood but they can be difficult to get a weekend tee time. love lochmere but a novice will need a lot of golf balls.

We golf regularly at Oak Hill in Meredith. It's located off Pease Road and it's just a small 9-hole golf course. Perfect for beginners or a quick game.

The greens are all quite nice and the owners, Barbara and Gus are great people!

Right now they are running a special of $14 unlimited golf but usually the price is $14 for 9 holes and another $14 if you want a cart.

Another place you could go is Bolduc Park on Gilford Ave on the Gilford/Laconia line. It's a cute par 3 course that only costs a recommended donation of $8.

Pheasant Ridge is great. Not a difficult layout, great views, always good conditions.

Lochmere is tough. Have never played Loudon but that may be an option from Alton.

28 minutes North of Meredith just off interstate 93 in Campton is the "Owls Nest" Golf course. It's a beautiful picturesque course that's always in great shape.

Again, thanks for the great response. Just what I was hoping to hear.

Ridgewood in Moultonborough is a fun course. If your son goes off the white tees, it plays to a 66.5 and 118 slope. Even better, if he'll play off the golds at Ridgewood, plays to a 108.

If you don't already know, checking the scorecard online at any course is a good idea. To start him off gently, try to get on a +/- 115 slope. If you start getting into the 120's, it could turn him off.

Pheasant Ridge is really pretty, also gentle. A bit more woods to deal with. Not sure if someone mentioned Waukewan in Meredith. Fun elevations.

NH courses are arguably some of the best kept secrets.
