Excellent Course

This is a ver nice course with wonderful views. The course is quite good shape. It’s obvious that the grounds crew care about their work. The greens were fast and a challenge. The layout is straightforward and fun. This course is definitely worth playing.

Enjoyable place to play

Course in great condition. Friendly folks and friendly course layout. Good for a high handicapper like myself, forgiving off the tee. But the greens can get fast and there are some nice elevation changes, so there are some challenges. Overall, really good time. Free warm up balls close to the first tee, good putting warm up surface. Nice staff.

Strange shot values

I know this course gets a very high rating because many of the visuals Are outstanding but from a golf point of view, the shot values leave a lot to be desired. This mainly has to do with the very difficult topography the architect had to work with on the slopes of Spruce Mountain. I’ve played the mountain course about seven or eight times now, and I simply cannot recommend it as a golfer who is really into golf course architecture and has played many of the classic golf courses in the US and around the world. If you fall into this category, be. prepared to be disappointed. Sadly, repeated play only deepens this impression.

Great course surrounded by great views

If you’re a walker, get ready to climb. Great layout and challenge for those that enjoy a thoughtful approach to each shot.

Great time.

Enjoyed a complimentary round unsuspectingly one day. Myself and two young boys. Had a blast. No waiting, wasn't pushed, about as pleasant as a round could be when you hit the ball the way I do. Fairways are super soft and about perfect. Rough was great, on every hole. Greens were big and fast, held shots that weren't skulled. Beautiful scenery as expected.

Hot weather
Walked

A disappointing start, as the pro shop was out of scorecards (they don't have a photocopier?). Luckily, the starter had one for us, but it didn't have a map of the course to help us find our way around our first time here. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Probably the best conditioned course we have ever played, but we're not accustomed to playing $100 courses. A couple of the greens had some thin spots, but nothing major. Irrigated fairways were lush and weed free. Just wish the members were more conscientious about replacing divots. Hardly a flat spot on this mountain course, including the putting surfaces. A difficult course for older folks like us to walk on a hot day, with all the ups and downs, but still quite playable. Not too many water hazards, and the bunkers appeared to all be in good shape. A good choice, if you can afford it.

Fast course with good players, but pricey

This was the option in Stowe for me since I wasn't paying $250 for a monday morning round at the "Mountain Course".

We finished 18 in 3 hours, which is a great pace. The condition of the course was good and the course was peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. Loved playing in the mountains and had a nice round. I payed $100 (with cart) for the round, which is too much for what it was. I'd compare it to a $75 course in my area (massachusetts).

Overall a pleasant course during a vacation.

One of the best and most scenic in northeast

An amazing day on this mountain course. The views on the higher points in the course on the back nine are stunning. The course is not long, but it makes up for it with wild greens, huge elevation changes and superb conditions.

It’s worth a stay at the lodge and to spend the day on the links.

Good Mountain Layout With Great Views

Luckily I played this course with three members so they helped me with the blind shots. Great layout but the bunkers were not well maintained and lacked sand. Worth a try at Golfnow rates.

Challenging hilly course in excellent condition

The regular price is overpriced for the quality of the course. The Hot Deal from Golf Now brought the price down from $130 to $50 w/cart. That is about the right price for the course. Staff were great and the check in process was quick and easy. Range balls are included.

Course is quite hilly. Overall course condition is very good to excellent. Everything on the course and in the faciilities is very well maintained.
