ABOUT KILLINGTON VERMONT GOLF COURSE
High in the lush Green Mountains of Vermont, discover breathtaking panoramas, azure skies and an 18-hole championship course as exhilarating as the view. Geoffrey Cornish designed this course to take full advantage of the awe-inspiring mountain terrain. Killington's rushing snowmelt streams and elevation changes make for an exciting and strategic long game.
Our generous greens allow you to attack the flag with confidence. This 6,186-yard, par 72 course presents a refreshing round for any golfer, no matter what skill level or handicap. And at our 2,000-foot elevation, gentle breezes offer a soothing respite from the summer sun.
The Killington Golf Course features a full practice facility, including 14-station driving range, a 12,000 square-foot putting green and practice bunker. Appropriate golf attire is required, collared shirts and no jeans, please.
The Mountain Golf School
You will spend each morning in a small class and receive one-on-one attention from a pro. After a detailed swing analysis, you’ll develop skills in such areas as bunker play, ball striking, putting and chipping. At the end of the day’s session, you’ll be free to play the course and consult the roving pro as you go.
