Guests settle comfortably into rooms or suites appointed with bleached-pine furnishings, rocking chairs and Audubon prints. View of Manchester Village from the Equinox golf course. One of the finest 18-hole golf courses in Vermont, the Equinox Gleneagles Course, named after its sister course in Scotland, hosts the qualifying rounds for the US Senior Amateur Championship. Though thoroughly enjoyable, Gleneagles is tough for the average player. Take the 13th hole.
Most players finish insisting the yardage on the score card is wrong.
With the elevated greens, when the wind comes up, the course plays long. Everyone who plays Gleneagles, loves it. But if you get to know the river, the fishing can be excellent. On the verandah we met novice fisherman Dr. Mark Seal, a urologist playing hooky from his practice in Ohio. Most of his time here, he was knee deep in water, loving every minute.
