Set within the dense woods of Northern Vermont, the Graham Cooke-designed course at the Jay Peak Resort is recognised as a top public facility in the Green Mountain state. Located just five miles from the Canadian border, the course is just one of several sporting amenities at a ski resort which offers visitors all year round outdoor activities.
“Like most ski area courses,” writes Daniel Wexler in The American Golf Resort Guide, “it is laid into a valley beneath the slopes and, amidst Cooke’s modern shaping, offers a strong test set attractively against a mountainous North Country backdrop.
A primary hazard is Jay Branch Brook, a meandering creek which, along with a tributary, prominently affects play at holes like the 407-yard 9th (fronting the green complex), and the 527-yard 16th, where it crosses the lay-up zone.
Though three of the one-shotters are similar in their pond-crossing design, the 220-yard 14th is a standout, as is the 440-yard 18th, which first crosses, then bends leftward around, an overgrown ravine.”
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. 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.
