When I was 6 years old the state took me away from my step father, my step father laid a belt upon me a little to hard that day, we had a complicated relationship. Ever since then I made it my life's mission to be a success and today I have finally come to terms to abort that mission, there is no way I can afford a membership here but after catching a local politician in a compromising position he let me play a round of golf here and I must say it is beautiful greens and forgiving fairways the staff is prompt and attentive, the facility is well manicured and has a old country feel with the amenities of a modern society. It is now my life goal to be back for another 18. The day was as smooth as a Swiss watch and the dinner was divine. Can't wait to grace this Paradise with my presence again. - Cheers

We had a great time snowshoeing here! Plenty of open spaces and great trails. Highly recommend this area...I am biased being a VT girl, but it's beautiful and such a great town.

What an amazing club. Not only fantastic golf, but amazing skiing as well. Everything at the club is so well done! A true, four seasons resort in paradise. If you want to get away and leave all the stress somewhere else, this is the place to go.

QUECHEE CLUB DINNING IS BACK! After a couple of down years, fine dinning at the Quechee Club has returned. The atmosphere has made a complete turn around. New staff, new menu and attentive service with great food. Quechee has another great restaurant to choose from. All are welcome but reservations are strongly recommended.
