Bethlehem Country Club opened as a 9-hole course in 1898 under the ownership of the Bethlehem Park Association, with its original club house at the corner of Park Avenue and Pine Street. Donald Ross redesigned it as an 18-hole course in 1909, his first design in New Hampshire and only his third effort in New England. The current club house was built in 1912 by Sylvanus D. Morgan with the most up-to-date equipment, including locker rooms for both women and men. In the 1920's, it became the Bethlehem Golf and Tennis Club, with four tennis courts installed just below the club house. During the depression and war years, the country club struggled. In 1949, the town of Bethlehem purchased it and ran it as a municipal golf course until 2020, when it was sold.
