Green Mountain National Golf Course

Hole # 14

If you have ever been interested in playing golf in Killington, now is a great time. The rains that the area had several weeks ago have resulted in beautiful lush green golf courses.

Both the Killington Resort Course and the Green Mountain National Golf Course have dried out nicely from the soaking rains of June. And it's a good thing as well. During July, local play changes. In June the area hosts a large number of Charity golf tournaments. In July, it gets more more personal with club championships and president's cups on the line.

Thus far in the July tournaments, the innkeepers of Birch Ridge have had mixed results. Mary played her Presidents Cup match on Monday. Unfortunately she went down to defeat when her opponent holed a chip shot on the 18th green. I faired a little better. My round earlier today started ugly, but I played the back nine at Green Mountain in a 4 over par 39 (with a double bogey on the 18th) beating my opponent 4 and 2 on the 16th green, to advance to the next round.

If you like golf, and you have a chance to come to Vermont, you should really think about playing a few rounds on the great courses at Killington this summer.
