Green Mountain National
Laid out in dense woodland close to the Killington Ski complex, the Gene Bates-designed Green Mountain National Golf Course was the first municipal layout to open in the state of Vermont when it debuted in 1997.
Owned and operated by the town of Killington, the course extends to 6,589 yards from the tips, playing to a par of 71. Tree-lined fairways are laid out on a rugged 234-acre property, with elevation changes occurring on just about every hole.
Outstanding holes include the 402-yard 3rd (where a creek threatens 50 yards short of the green), the 151-yard 7th (with a ridge in the middle of the putting surface), the doglegging 394-yard 12th, (featuring a three-tiered green that’s 40 yards in depth), and the 204-yard 17th, which has all the hazards clearly visible from the tee.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.

We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
