Summary:
I'm not sure what people are looking for, but this course was great. I live in Burlington and have never ventured down past Rocky Ridge to play at Cedar Knoll. This course has 3 different 9 hole coures to choose from. We played North (very hilly, awesome views,) and South (much flatter and more wide open). I guess other reviewers want flat and boring. Or a place like Williston where a Ranger is up your a$$ every 2 minutes asking you to speed up your play. This course is all about variety. Additionaly, we've had a lot of rain in VT recently and this course was in great shape. Much better than Kwinny which was played the day after.

Customer Service:
Everyone was very friendly when we called and made our tee time. Inside club house staff was fine as well. A number of members were hanging out in the bar and all asked us how the course was playing. The bar maid was friendly as well. No issues.

I've played most courses in Chittenden and Washington Counties.

Summary:
I agree totally with the first poster..these folks must not out much and play decent courses. I'm not a golf snob, far from it and I don't need VT. National or CC of VT to enjoy myself, but this place is a joke for serious golfers and must make beginners question if they should stick with the game. The design looks like it was dreamt up by who actually "designed" it-a farmer who doesn't play the game. Some holes are so wide open that any tee shot that isn't topped is OK..on the other tight holes it's a crapshoot on whether your tee ball is a good one or not because there are always some goofy wavy humps in the fairway, some tree totally blocking the path to the green or as the first reviewer stated no logical or srategic place to lay up or play to. The greens are just goofy, you can have a 3 footer that double-breaks.

I'm not saying avoid this place at all costs, it's farly cheap and if it's not crowded well, your still hitting the white orb around on something that's better than a pasture, but these comments that say how challenging and testing this place is must be made by folks that don't know better.

Givin a choice for free golf here for the summer or paying every time, I'd play Williston or Rocky Ridge all summer long

Summary:
who are these people that play this course and find it challenging, with a pro layout? this course may not be classified as a joke, but lets be honest here. the layout was done by a farmer and a parttime landscaper. sure its not easy to score there, but not because the course is designed as a Nicklaus or RTJ's course, it virtually has no design. there is no continuity to it and on certain holes you feel like youre on a wide open steer range. being able to score, or not, has never been a way to define a course's condition alone, but also layout and the thinking that went into it. as proven on holes such as #3,#6,#9,#10,#13,#17, one must wonder just what the heck the "designers" were thinking, if at all. for instance, on #10, after a long straight drive, you are not only faced with a decision to go for it in 2 on this par5, but whether you want to layup into a 300 foot dropoff gulch to have a better angle at the green because if you choose to go for it and even make the green, it will still not have a chance to hold on the "billygoat" green.as for the greens, even tho they have grown in over the years to putt nicely and even hold, they were put in with such undulation on most of the holes, that the average golfer is totally lost. were not talking carefully thought out breaks and setups, were just talking ridiculous hillside greens that penalize a great golf approach into them from anywhere. time wont permit, but play the last nine they put in, and you will really see what a joke the designers made of it.

Customer Service:
dont look for too many smiles in that clubhouse. you ask for a beer and they look at you like youre the town drunk. nobody there ever took a dale carnigie course, i can tell you that.

after playing here, you will be glad to get back to a "normal" course.

Summary:
I have played most of the courses in Vt. and I believe this is the most interesting and challenging I have played. Almost all the greens are elevated and have to be approached with a soft shot from close up and an extra club from the fairway.

Customer Service:
Excellent. With family owning the course and a number of family members working their. All family members play golf so they know what people like. A great course for family's.

Great clubhouse with fine food and a deck that entails the whole front of the building that overlooks the course and the mountains.
