The City of Portsmouth's challenging Bide-A-Wee Golf Course was a vision conceived by PGA professional Chandler Harper in the early 1950s. After playing in the Ryder Cup matches of 1955, Harper retired from competitive golf and hired Fred Findlay to build the new golf course in Portsmouth.
Findlay is attributed with suggesting the name of the course, which in Scottish means "stay a little longer, or linger awhile." After 37 years of managing Bide-A-Wee, Chandler Harper retired in the early 1990s, at which time the City of Portsmouth decided to fully renovate the course.
