Highland Golf Course

Set against the rugged backdrop of Vermont’s scenic Quechee Valley, Highland Golf Course offers an 18-hole challenge where elevation and natural terrain shape a dynamic playing experience. This semi-private layout unfolds across mountain hillside fairways and riverbank edges, presenting a landscape that both tests and rewards precision. Each hole demands thoughtful navigation, whether threading approach shots over subtle ridges or managing putting surfaces that respond to the natural slope.

The course’s design makes full use of its upland setting, rewarding strategic play without alienating higher-handicap golfers. Tee boxes are sensibly placed to accommodate a range of skill levels, while well-maintained fairways and moderately sized greens encourage shot shaping and course management. The blend of long par 4s and reachable par 5s keeps play engaging throughout. As the name implies, Highland’s terrain introduces noticeable elevation changes that add drama and require particular attention to club selection and wind direction.

Beyond the layout itself, Highland’s landscape is memorable for its diversity. Pines and maples frame many holes, their seasonal colors adding visual interest and occasional wind shelter. Water hazards reflect the sky and add a measured risk to several holes. The course’s meticulous conditioning is apparent, with tightly cut fairways and fast, true greens maintained to a championship standard.

Facilities complement the golf remarkably well. The clubhouse offers a comfortable setting to regroup after a round, with dining options that showcase local ingredients and provide a view over the course. Practice areas, including a driving range and putting green, support warm-up and honing specific shots before play. The atmosphere is relaxed but focused, tailored to golfers who appreciate courses where the land’s personality shapes the scorecard.

Whether visiting as a returning player or discovering it for the first time, Highland Golf Course invites golfers to engage with its mountain character in a way that feels both inspired and accessible. Prepare to adjust your approach with every hole, as the terrain tests your decision-making as much as your swing.
