HISTORY OF GOLFING in the Weirs Beach area
Laconia Country Club, 1920’s. The oldest, most prestigious golf course in the area. Originally a 9-hole course from 1922-1925, and then an 18-hole course since 1926. The original clubhouse, built in 1922, burned November 9, 1965, and was replaced. This second clubhouse is now slated for demolition in the winter of 2025-26. A new modern clubhouse is expected to open for the 2026 season.
