Quechee Lakes Landowners’ Association was formed in 1970 and the QLLA community comprises those who own a lot, completed home or condominium on the property. Ownership grants membership usage of the Quechee Club and people renting from owners are allowed amenity access for a nominal fee while in residence.
It’s very much a four-season recreational community which offers fishing, skiing, tennis and golf among a host of activities – and there’s even a polo field for those who want an equine element in their sporting pursuits. The two 18-hole golf courses were completed in 1970, making this Vermont’s only 36-hole golf facility.
In the book The American Private Golf Club Guide, Daniel Wexler describes the two layouts as “the pinnacle of Geoffrey Cornish’s prolific design career,” adding that the architect’s modern stylings “may not be for everyone, but still Quechee remains one of Vermont’s favoured stops.”
Hurricane Irene devastated the Upper Valley in 2011 with catastrophic flooding and twenty-seven of the thirty-six holes were destroyed. Brian Silva was called in to help rebuild both courses and four years later, the club organized a grand re-opening, with both courses now in better shape than ever before.
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.
