We had scheduled golf lessons and saw it was supposed to rain a week in advance. Both my wife and I called days prior to try and reschedule, leaving multiple messages with no response. Day of lessons, rain stops, we drive 30 minutes to get there and the instructor texted guy at counter that if we show up we should reschedule. Pretty unprofessional.

I recently visited Ralph Myhre Golf Course and had an amazing experience both on the course and at their restaurant. The driving range was fantastic. The grounds were well maintained and scenic views added to the overall enjoyment of my time there. After the game, I headed to the restaurant. The chicken tenders, cookies and chicken quesadilla were really good. On Sundays, they have Sunday sessions with live music. The staff at both the golf course and restaurant were incredibly friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a great day of golf followed by a delicious meal.

This course was in fantastic shape! The greens were in superb condition…which was bad for my score. What an outstanding course for Middlebury students and Vermonters alike!

GO TO NESHOBE INSTEAD Used to be a great course. Played 54 holes last weekend. The greens are like ice, heads up! Lower the price slightly for both a round of golf and the pro shop! Then again it's Middlebury College so that will never happen. Additionally, I would remove the random golf cart and porta potty by holes 2,9, and 12. This has been done but now there is a random shed? This course has definitely went down in my rankings. The new logo is TERRIBLE. The new clock with the donors name front and center is EXTREMELY NARCISSISTIC. No one listens to the 26 foot smoking rule from the club house. The smell of cigars is horrible. The first hole was better before the change. Trees have been removed. Driving range is in shambles. "RALPH" hats in pro shop are terrible, who would buy those? The club house just isn't the same as it was 5 years ago. A noticeable downgrade and of course charging more for a round now. A shell of it's former self. Sad.
