About Amherst Country Club
Amherst Country Club is an 18-hole public golf course set alongside the Souhegan River in historic Amherst, New Hampshire. The championship layout is open to players of all ability levels, and the club also operates the nearby Ponemah Green, which includes a driving range.
Play continues indoors through the colder months, with simulator leagues at the club. Running on TrackMan simulators, the leagues feature weekly nine-hole four-ball match play on a rotating selection of courses, along with closest-to-the-pin contests and prizes.
