Course F.A.Q.

Due to the risk of potential health/hygienic concerns, Sagamore no longer offers communal water cooler stations on the golf course. We encourage golfers to either bring their own water or grab some beverages from the snack bar before they tee off, especially on hot and humid summer days. If you forget to bring your own water, please know that you will have the following options available to help keep hydrated:

• Our Snack Bar offers a wide variety of beverage options
• We offer a nice, cold (and free!) water via our water fountain in our clubhouse, which golfers can use any time to fill water bottles
• Our on-course Beverage Cart runs daily during the summer months and on weekends during May, September and October
• On days that are forecasted to have temps of 90+ we do our best to make complimentary bottled water available on the 1st tee

SHGC's Golf Season typically begins in late March or early April (weather permitting) --- We work hard to keep the course open as long as the weather and turf conditions allow for it. We urge golfers to check our homepage or call ahead (603-964-5341) during the early spring/winter months to confirm our open status.
