2nd, par-4, 398. Walter Travis’ penchant for high quality bunkering and mounding is clearly evident here. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

5th, par-4, 336. Short but lethal, this downhill, two-shot hole nonetheless offers a beautiful Green Mountain backdrop. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

8, par-4, 398. One of the deeply embedded greenside bunkers may prove hazardous to your score after an errant approach shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

10th, par-4, 355. The spire of the First Congregational Church of Manchester is struck by late-afternoon rays of sunlight. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

12th, par-4, 361 (center of photo). At twelve, a drive and pitch hole, you’ll want to miss all of the eleven bunkers. The scenery, though, is not to be ignored. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

13th, par-4, 423. The toughest and maybe best hole at Equinox, this brutal “Volcano” hole will test you fully from tee to cup. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/30/2022

Golfer friendly
This is a very short layout. A great place for the novice, older man or women. It's wide fairways allow for errant shots to still be in play. The better player will enjoy this when he looks at his score card and sees his score. The greens though not flat are easy to read and roll very well.
Amazing
Exept the 7 hole the course is amazing wow ... Nothing else to say good chalenge ...
Not worth the hour drive
I thought the course was good, but not as good as others had rated. We drove an hour to play it and would not make the trek again. There are other courses of equal or better conditions closer to where we were staying.
Great course
This was the first time that I had played Equinox and I was very impressed. My brother in law says it's his favourite course and after finding the golf now website I saw there was a hot deal for $38 which was $100 cheaper than the regular price. Couldn't resist that offer so booked it up.
I usually shoot in the mid 90's to 100 as I don't play too often. Upon arriving the staff were extremely friendly and had a greeter on the first tee to welcome me. The course is in great condition. Fairways are immaculate and the greens have a constant speed. The bunkers are prestine, light sand and no stones.
The only negatives I had was a few holes have out of bounds on the right hand side of the fairway so if you have a slight slice like I do then you may lose a few balls. It's not the courses fault I sometimes slice my tee shots, just seems a bit harsh that the tee box is just a few yards from OB. Also the 5th green had alot of debris from the trees behind it. Made putting a little bit harder and having never played the hole before didn't know the line it would take. Ended up hitting a few of the buds and moved the ball a few inches off line.
One of the par 3's is only 110 yards long and straight downhill which feels a little cheap, but I managed a par after a good birdie attempt just went wide....so can't really complain.
The biggest downer which was no fault of the course was a severe storm came in whilst on hole 15th and the course got flooded so had to end the round short.
Other than that I had a real good time and played with two other players who had booked through golf now website.
Will definately be going back if a weekend tee time is around the $40 mark again.
Challenging course with great layout
This is my first course review on here so let me be as through as I can. Of note a little about me: I am an 8 handicapper who plays 2-3x/wk and has played many hi end courses all over the east coast-including Caledonia, Legends, Turning stone, etc...
Played Equinox for the first time yesterday, Wednesday at 10:52 in Manchester, vt. Myself and playing partner drove about 1hr and 15 mins and pleasantly was surprised on the quaintness and beauty as we drove into Manchester and saw the course. The course sits right in town and about 1/2 mile from the hotel. The course was not busy at all, being only 2 twosomes on the putting green, who played in front of us for the entire round. We played in about 3 1/2 hrs and would definitely play here again. To describe the course is tough, because it will not do it justice, but here goes. Equinox golf course is a blend of a links and mountain course. It has subtle bending fairways, and constant changes in elevations. Many of the tee boxes are elevated with magnificent views of the valley around the surrounding mtns. Approach shots from the fairway have you and hitting into elevated greens, which are well sculpted and garded by bunkers. Some of the greens sit 40-50 ft above the fairway, which really changes the approach. Most greens are surrounded by well manicured bunkers, all strategically placed. The course was in really nice shape, and with multiple maintainance crews working on the course it will only be better in a few weeks. Don't let the scorecard yardage or slope rating fool you on the difficulty on this course. Your short game will be tested and big numbers are out there with the abundance of sand, deep rough and undulating fairways. This is a must play for any serious golfer and all we could think of while playing was how it reminded us of Leatherstocking in Cooperstown, with a bit of mountainy feel mixed in. Enjoy and hope this does the course justice.
greens were perfect
lucked out on the weather was suppose to rain.arrived at course just before opening and was allowed to go first.had seen your time night before but weather was an issue so waited till am to be sure.course was a little wet in some spots but in great condition overall.would definitely go back.
Great course nestled in the VT mountains
As with all Troon managed properties, the course conditions were superb, the carts and clubhouse were well maintained, the pace of play was perfect and the staff were all very helpful. The course itself was not very long, but the true challenge lies in the out of bounds on many holes causing wayward drives to be subjected to a stroke and distance penalty rather than a drop from a hazard. The course was within walking distance of the Equinox hotel and hotel guests can have their clubs stored at the course without a fee. The course offers many excellent mountain views which makes for a great day no matter how you play. The only downside...no driving range. I would return and play this course again without hesitation. Highly recommended.
