Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to experience The Olde Course in Vermont?

We always recommend visiting in early to mid-October. You'll play amidst breathtaking fall foliage, and the crisp air makes for ideal golf conditions before the course closes for winter. Just be prepared for slightly cooler temperatures on the front nine.

How challenging are the greens at The Olde Course, especially for someone who struggles with putting?

The greens here are notoriously tricky, particularly on the back nine where they feature subtle but significant undulations. We suggest spending extra time on the practice green to get a feel for their speed and break, as they often run faster than they look.

What's the typical green fee at The Olde Course, and do I need to book my tee time far in advance?

Green fees generally range from $120-$180, depending on the season and time of day. For peak season (late summer and fall), we strongly advise booking at least 4-6 weeks out, especially if you're aiming for a weekend morning slot.

Is there a particular hole at The Olde Course that stands out as a must-play or signature experience?

Absolutely, the par-3 14th hole is unforgettable. You'll hit over a deep ravine to a well-bunkered green, with stunning views of the surrounding Green Mountains. It's a true test of nerve and club selection, but incredibly rewarding when you hit it pure.

What kind of atmosphere can I expect at The Olde Course's clubhouse, and is there a good spot for a post-round drink?

The clubhouse has a charming, rustic feel - think classic New England lodge rather than modern resort. We love grabbing a local craft beer on the veranda overlooking the 18th green; it's the perfect spot to recount your round and soak in the peaceful surroundings.
