"This "hidden gem" in the north is
one of Vermont's oldest courses - and one of its
prettiest. Situated above the resort town of Greensboro,
this ancient track is full of bumps and moguls. It is
also completely devoid of sand traps. At Mountain View,
the views are impressive and the overall feel is
enchanting. .............
... The Mountain View Country Club
dates back to the late 1800s. Golf was first played in
1898 on a cow-pasture course laid out by club members.
The trees have grown larger and the forests have
tightened up the fairways, but little else has changed.
Only minor rerouting has occurred. Though little actual
evidence exists today, the cows remained active on the
course until well into the 1960s. The cows are gone, but
the relaxed and endearing ambience remains."www.vermontgolfer.com
The hilly 9-hole course is a
picturesque, links style layout with a rating/slope from
the middle tees of 67.9/112 for men and 71.5/116 for
women. From
the Blue Tee tips the course measures 2927 yards. The
par 35 layout was featured in the July/August 2007 issue
of Travel +
Leisure Golf.
The seven clay tennis courts are the
best around.
