Green Mountain Golf in Vermont

Vermont may be known for its snow sports, but when winter ends and the snow melts, the green of Vermont's mountains is matched by the greens of its golf courses. Courses take advantage of the terrain and snowy runoff to add to the challenge. The scenic backdrops mean finishing 18 holes is an experience you'll appreciate no matter how you score.

Shelburne, a suburb of Vermont's largest city, Burlington, is home to the Kwiniaska Golf Club. You'll get views of Vermont's Green Mountains and New York's Adirondacks as you play. Semi-private Rutland Country Club, near Killington, is just one mile from the heart of downtown. The club-open to guests as well as members-is known for its restaurant with views of the course; perhaps enjoy a meal before your game and plan your strategy while you dine? When you don't have time for a full game, play a quick nine holes at Kirby Golf Course in Concord.
