The Equinox Golf Club

• 🏆Top 3 Golf Courses in Vermont — Golfweek

Walter Travis — three-time U.S. Amateur champion — designed the Equinox Golf Club in 1926 on the grounds of the Equinox Resort in Manchester, Vermont, deep in a valley walled by Green Mountain ridges. Rees Jones and Greg Muirhead led a $3.5M restoration in 1991-92, refreshing the Travis routing while keeping the classical New England character intact. Golf Digest has named it among Top 75 courses in the U.S. Golfweek ranks it Top 3 in Vermont. The 6,423-yard par-71 routing is shorter than modern resort tracks but the Travis bunkering and green complexes (recovered in the Jones restoration) make it a legitimate strategic test. Resort-tier pricing ($$$) reflects the Equinox Resort & Spa infrastructure around the golf. As a destination round in Vermont, this is the historical pick — paired with Green Mountain National it forms a logical southern-Vermont two-stop trip.
