Vermont golf resorts offer handy lodging, fine courses for your golf getaway

For those who love the game, golfing at the 18-hole championship course at the Lake Morey Resort means experiencing a beautiful day in a beautiful setting. The views and natural beauty of the course, home to the Vermont Open for over 50 years, draw golfers back year after year to experience the same challenges the pros face. The par-70, 6,024-yard course features well-guarded greens, water hazards and sand traps. The fairly flat front nine opens to a more mountainous back nine with stunning views. Irrigated fairways and greens and an efficient drainage system means the course plays consistently well. Group lessons and private instruction are offered by golfing pros, and the course specializes in group functions and company outings. After your game, enjoy lunch at the Clubhouse Bar and Grill.

Surrounded by lush hillsides and unspoiled Vermont landscapes, the golf course at the Woodstock Country Club is a challenging, 18-hole masterpiece – a delightful escape for guests of the Woodstock Inn & Resort, named one of the top 100 golf resorts by Golf Magazine. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., the course, the oldest public course in Vermont, features breathtaking panoramic views of the Kedron Valley. There’s a putting green and driving range, a Golf shop with the best in golfing gear and apparel and private and group instruction for all ages. The inn also offers special lodging packages for golfers. After your time on the course, enjoy a burger and a brew, or a seasonal cocktail, at the Fairway Grill, overlooking the gorgeous greens.
