PORTSMOUTH — Rebuilding the clubhouse at Pease Golf Course last year not only saved the area’s oldest links, but revitalized them.

The previous clubhouse had little to offer golfers after a round and was closed three months of the year.

The $2.3 million clubhouse project completed in April 2010 offers everything the last building lacked, including a year-round restaurant with a full bar and full menu, a self-contained function room, an expanded pro shop and a modern feel.
