John P. Larkin Country Club
About this course
John P. Larkin Country Club occupies a rural setting in Windsor, Vermont, in the Upper Connecticut River Valley. The course is a nine-hole layout typical of New England's smaller private clubs, serving the local golfing community and regional visitors. The property reflects the region's mixed topography of rolling terrain and forest, characteristic of central Vermont's landscape between the Connecticut River and the Green Mountains. The course was developed to provide recreational golf for club members in a setting that balances playability with the natural constraints of the New England terrain. Nine-hole designs of this era and region often feature modest yardage but require accurate shot-making due to tight fairways, tree-lined corridors, and elevation changes. Members typically play the course twice to complete an eighteen-hole round, a common practice at clubs of this size and era. The club itself reflects the social and recreational traditions of Vermont country clubs, which have historically served as gathering places for golf, dining, and community life in smaller towns. Windsor, situated on the Connecticut River, has a long history as a regional center, and the club fits within that civic fabric. The course and clubhouse provide a venue for member play, local tournaments, and social events typical of private clubs in rural New England.

Getting there
The journey to John P. Larkin Country Club begins at Lebanon Municipal Airport (LEB), a compact regional hub just twenty minutes north across the Vermont-New Hampshire border, or alternatively through Manchester Airport (MHT) in New Hampshire, roughly ninety minutes south through the Connecticut River Valley. From either arrival point, the drive winds northward through quintessential New England terrain - first along river roads that trace the Connecticut's course, then ascending into the rolling woodlands and farmland that define the Upper Valley landscape. The final approach to Windsor carries you through the town's historic downtown before arriving at the club's gates, where the transition from rural Vermont highway to manicured grounds marks the subtle but unmistakable shift into one of the region's most respected private sanctuaries. The entire journey, whether from Lebanon or Manchester, unfolds as a gradual immersion into the character of the Upper Valley - a landscape of white church steeples, covered bridges, and the kind of quiet New England refinement that has anchored this corner of Vermont for generations.
