Set high in the mountains above the hotel, The Country Club offers panoramic views of New Hampshire's White Mountains, and Vermont. Deep wooden walls run high into the cathedral ceiling, exposed beams tell their stories of true craftsmanship. The warmth of the grand stone fireplace instantly welcomes you to stay a while. Whether you are just finishing 18 holes on the Donald Ross designed Panorama, or stopping by to see the view, The Grille Menus offer something for everyone. See below for the Lunch Menu.

Please call us at the Panorama Country Club at (603) 255-4900 for more information, or to make a reservation for lunch.
