This course is attractive and fun to play. Distances are not long and greens are simple and enjoyable to putt. It is easy to score well here, but the course has enough meat to make the score legit. Country Club of Barre receives consistently high marks. From the whites, its slope of 119 and length of 5986 make for a temperate scoring climate.
Respectable challenge is available from the blues.
Lake Morey , the annual home of the Vermont Open is enjoyed by old and young alike. It's a busy, lively course that allows for good scoring while remaining 'serious' golf. A number of young, tournament players we've interviewed name it as their favorite. Basin Harbor is a clear favorite across the entire spectrum of golfers with the exception of tough, young players who scoff at all resort-oriented golf. A pleasant walking course with adequate challenge from the back tees for serious golfers.
