I had the pleasure of playing Manchester Country Club in Vermont, and from start to finish, the experience was outstanding. The staff could not have been more professional or welcoming starting from the team at the bag drop to the Head Professional (Jon Mandala), everyone made me feel like a valued guest. I was also fortunate to meet the President of the Club, and he could not have been nicer. He was approachable, gracious, and clearly passionate about the club and its continued success. I was told that recent renovations have further enhanced the course, and it certainly shows. The layout is classic and challenging in all the right ways, with well-maintained fairways and greens that roll true. The back nine stood out for me, not only for the thoughtful design but also for the breathtaking scenery that surrounds every hole. It is a truly peaceful and picturesque setting that makes you appreciate the game that much more. As I approached the very challenging 18th hole, I had a moment of sadness because the round was about to end. It is that kind of course that you do not want to walk away from. The good news was you are only a few feet away from a great variety of Vermont beers. If you are in the area and looking for a top-notch round of golf, Manchester Country Club should be at the top of your list. I am already looking forward to my next visit. 5 Stars!

A stunningly beautiful course with a wonderful clubhouse with a bar and restaurant. The back 9 has been completely renovated with beautiful views of the mountains and perfectly manicured greens. With a driving range, pro shop and complete upgrade inside and out it offers a premiere golf experience at a fantastic value.
