A great course 1 of 2 on the property. I prefer the highland side with its dramatic elevation changes. The lakeside is beautiful as well and it is just a matter of personal preference. The course is pristine and always well manicured. I am playing there again today and look forward to any opportunity to visit Quechee again.

This is a very nice golf course... It has 18 holes on the Highland Course, and another 18 holes on the Lakeland course. There wasn't a long wait. Will definitely be coming back.
