GREEN MOUNTAIN NATIONAL GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Killington, VT, USA
Designed by Gene Bates



Green Mountain National Golf Club sits in the Green Mountains near Killington, Vermont, designed by Gene Bates and opened in the late 1990s. The course occupies rolling, forested terrain at elevation, with holes carved through stands of hardwoods and conifers that provide natural definition and seasonal color. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with elevation changes that create variety in shot values and perspectives across the round.
Bates, known for work in mountainous and challenging sites, shaped a layout that balances the demands of the terrain with playability for a range of golfers. The design incorporates natural features—rock outcroppings, streams, and wetlands—into the strategic framework, and the green complexes reflect the property's movement with tilts and undulations that reward accurate approach play. Several holes offer views across the surrounding mountains, particularly in the higher sections of the routing.
The course serves both resort visitors and members in the Killington area, part of a region known for skiing and outdoor recreation. Green Mountain National provides a mountain golf experience distinct from the flatter, links-influenced courses found elsewhere in New England, emphasizing the character of Vermont's upland landscape and the design challenges that come with building in such settings.
Reviews
A typical mountain resort course type feel. An extremely hilly layout that forces you to hit it straight. Can be very frustrating if you hit it off line. Conditions were solid, green complexes were interesting.
