LSCC is considered among the finest courses in the Northeast. A Donald Ross gem, the course routing reflects his design excellence: at Sunapee very little walking is required from one green to the next tee. And true to the Ross design philosophy, the "course can take care of every class of golfer". Fair but challenging, each golf hole presents a different problem. One is never bored when confronted by the subtleties of a master designer such as Ross.

Sunapee recently underwent a long-range improvement plan restoring many of the original 1920's design features. Significant tree removal returned sweeping fairway and mountain views. Greens regained their expansive character. Long buried bunkers were unearthed. And the course now boasts four sets of tees per hole. The improvements are a sublime testament to the marriage of classic golf with contemporary play.
