HERMITAGE GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Wilmington, VT, USA
Designed by Desmond Muirhead
Hermitage Golf Club sits in the Green Mountains of southern Vermont, near the town of Wilmington. Designed by Desmond Muirhead and opened in the 1960s, the course occupies rolling, forested terrain characteristic of the region. Muirhead, known for his imaginative and sometimes unconventional design work during this period, routed the course through natural elevation changes and stands of hardwood and conifer that define the Vermont landscape.
The layout takes advantage of the mountainous topography, with holes that move through varied terrain and offer views of the surrounding peaks. The course features the kind of elevation shifts and natural obstacles typical of New England mountain golf, where players navigate slopes, doglegs shaped by the land, and greens positioned to work with the existing contours. The setting provides a traditional northern New England golf experience, with seasonal play that reflects the region's climate.
Hermitage Golf Club operates as part of a larger resort property that includes lodging and dining facilities. The club has served recreational golfers and visitors to the Wilmington area for several decades, offering a mountain golf experience in a region better known for skiing and outdoor recreation. The course represents an example of mid-century resort golf development in Vermont, designed to complement the area's appeal as a four-season destination.
