The Ultimate
Vermont Golf Trip.

Vermont golf is Walter Travis's Ekwanok Country Club in Manchester (1900), one of America's oldest, the prototype for half the early-century New England layouts. The Equinox Resort sits a mile away. Stratton Mountain, Sugarbush, and the Quechee Club layouts cover the rest of the summer-season state.
