Golfweek released its annual best golf courses for each state in the U.S. for 2024 on Monday.
And if you want to play in Vermont, they recommend making your way to the Green Mountains.
The pre-requisites for a course to be included on this list are as follows: the course must be publicly accessible in some fashion, whether through standard daily green fees or staying at a resort or a hotel.
The second pre-requisite is that there be no membership required to play on the course, with the exception being if the course also allows for hotel guests to play as well.
Let’s see which courses made it onto the list.
Stowe Country Club in Stowe
The course at the Stowe Country Club was ranked first on Golfweek’s list of the top five best golf courses in Vermont.
According to the Stowe Country Club website, there is a renovation project involving the golf course which will result in “new and improved tees to new and differently shaped green complexes.”
The club also has a dining facility called Kirkwood’s Pub, that has an indoor dining room and a patio. It provides scenic views from the deck and offers seating for up to 120 guests.
“Non-members may request Tee Times using an online request form,” the website said.
Fox Run Golf Club in Ludlow
The golf course that Golfweek called the second-best course in Vermont is the Fox Run Golf Club, which used to be the Okemo Valley Golf Club.
Fox Run’s golf course is an 18-hole championship course with a 10-acre practice facility with a 4-hole short course. The course also has a full driving range, according to the golf club’s website.
“The par 70 layout is 6,400 yards in length and features dramatic elevation change through rolling terrain outlined by fescue native areas that enhance the heathland layout,” the website said.
You can book a tee time on their website.
Jay Peak in Jay
The Jay Peak Resort has the golf course that has been rated the third-best golf course in Vermont by Golfweek.
You can book a tee time by calling (802) 988-4653 or emailing golf@jaypeakresort.com.
