Green Mountain National Golf Course
Green Mountain National Golf Course blends mountain terrain and strategic design across a 27-hole public layout in Killington, Vermont. Featuring varied elevation, well-conditioned greens, and a relaxed clubhouse atmosphere, it offers a rewarding challenge for a wide range of golfers.
Course Overview
Green Mountain National Golf Course in Killington, Vermont, offers a distinctive mountain golfing experience across its 27-hole layout, divided into three unique nine-hole courses. This public facility shines amid the verdant slopes of the Green Mountains, where elevation changes and natural terrain shape every hole with both strategic challenge and scenic interest. The course’s design embraces its mountainous backdrop, weaving fairways that climb and descend through dense forest and open meadows, making each round a dynamic test of shot-making and course management.
Players will find a variety of hole styles, from sweeping doglegs to precise par-3s that reward thoughtful club selection and execution. The natural contours demand attention, while thoughtfully placed bunkers and well-maintained greens further refine playability. The undulating greens, known to run at a moderate pace, invite both skilled putters and developing players to engage in nuanced putting battles. Though the course presents a stern challenge for low handicappers, it remains accessible to a broad range of skill levels, thanks to multiple tee boxes and generous fairway widths in key areas.
Visually, the course is compelling without distraction. Panoramic views of Killington’s peaks stretch beyond the course, lending an expansive feel that amplifies the outdoor experience without overshadowing the game. The mountain air carries a subtle coolness, especially in the mornings, adding a refreshing edge to play.
After play, the clubhouse offers a casual grill and bar area where golfers can unwind, sharing stories of drives launched over ridges and tricky approaches settled on fast greens. Service is straightforward and welcoming, rounding out a day framed by scenic golf and friendly Vermont hospitality.
When planning a visit, expect firm and fast conditions in summer, with excellent drainage that keeps the course playable even after rain. Walking is encouraged, though the terrain is demanding; sturdy shoes with good traction will ease the journey. Green Mountain National stands as a compelling destination for golfers seeking a robust mountain test with practical charm and generous character.

Love the course. Played there last month when it was 42 and raining. The guy behind the counter actually seemed annoyed he had to get off his chair to check us in. Third time there. Same guy. Same shitty attitude

This is a nice course tucked into the green mountain's of Killington . You'll find that it is well kept overall with undulating greens that run slow. A nice grill with a good selection of cold beer waits for you afterwards too. Overall a good experience, but overpriced @$140.00 in my opinion.

Green Mountain National – Vermont’s Premier Golfing Playground Our group of eight golfers spent an unforgettable day at Green Mountain National Golf Course in Killington, Vermont — and we’re still talking about it. We teed off in two foursomes at 8:30 and 8:40 AM, determined to take on 27 holes over the course of the day. What we got was not just a round of golf — it was a full-blown golfing adventure set against the breathtaking backdrop of Killington’s mountain vistas. Course conditions? Absolutely pristine. It had rained heavily the night before and even a bit that morning, yet the fairways and greens were dry, firm, and immaculately maintained. The drainage on this course is clearly top-notch — there wasn’t a single soggy patch or waterlogged bunker. Everything was rolling true, and the lush, vibrant green of the course only made the setting more spectacular. What makes Green Mountain National so memorable is its incredible layout. Every hole brings something fresh — with dramatic elevation changes, strategic bunkering, and meandering fairways carved into the natural Vermont terrain. Holes like: • #6 — A picturesque downhill par-3 over water that demands precision and nerve. • #10 — A sweeping dogleg left where the elevated tee gives you a jaw-dropping view (and an ego boost when you crush the drive). • #16 — One of the course’s signature holes, with a downhill fairway framed by dense forest and postcard-worthy mountain views. • And #18 — A strong finisher where club selection and accuracy are everything. Each hole is challenging but fair, offering both low and high handicappers plenty of excitement and opportunities to recover. It’s a course that rewards smart play and tempts you to take a few risks — exactly what you want when you’re out for a day of great golf with friends. After the first 18 holes, we enjoyed a seated lunch at the outdoor grill area — a fantastic and much-needed break. The vibe was laid-back and friendly, never rushed, and the staff were just as welcoming as the course was gorgeous. Ice-cold beers, grilled sandwiches, and mountain air — perfection. We capped off the day with 9 more holes, energized and ready to take in more of the rolling fairways and stunning scenery. The mobile beverage cart service was a great touch throughout the day — stocked with cold drinks, snacks, and plenty of good vibes. Green Mountain National isn’t just a golf course — it’s a Vermont experience. With its unrivaled natural beauty, clever course design, and relaxing pace of play, it stands out as the best public course we’ve played in the state — maybe even New England. We’ll be back, without a doubt. If you’re planning a golf trip to Southern Vermont and play Golf, this course needs to be at the very top of your list.

Challenging course. Definitely has that championship course feel. Was in great condition. This is in my top 3 of nicest courses played now. No one was there when I went out except 1 group behind me. Felt like I had the course to myself. I was told they are just opening for the season though.

The course is fun to play and in great shape. Only 2 opportunities to mention: 1) the bunkers could be better maintained. There wasn’t enough sand in some and others were just not maintained at all. We had to rake and place in a few of the bunkers as a result. 2) it was a slow round. Despite tee times every 12 min, we were waiting on every hole. There was a ranger driving around but it didn’t seem like he was pushing people along at all.
