Longest Golf Courses in Vermont

The 25 longest golf courses in Vermont, ranked by total yardage from the back tees.

The longest golf course in Vermont on Stymie is Mount Snow Golf Club in West Dover, designed by Geoffrey Cornish, stretching 6,943 yards from the back tees and a slope rating of 143. Anything over 7,000 yards qualifies as "championship length" by modern standards, and the layouts below all clear that bar — most by a wide margin.

The average maximum yardage across Vermont's golf courses on Stymie is 5,865 yards. 0 courses play to 7,000 yards or more — the threshold most tournament setups use to ensure long hitters can't simply drive their way around the layout. Long courses typically pair the extra distance with wider fairways and larger greens so the round stays playable.

If you're a long hitter looking for a course that will actually test your driving distance, or you want to play the same tees the pros would, work your way through this list. Just remember: yardage isn't the same as difficulty — a 7,400-yard course with wide fairways and minimal water can play easier than a 6,500-yard target-golf design with hazards on every hole.
