The Links at Lang Farm

About this course
The Links at Lang Farm occupies a former dairy farm in Essex Junction, roughly ten miles east of Burlington in Vermont's Champlain Valley. Designed by Michael Asmundson and opened in the late 1990s, the course was carved from rolling agricultural land that retains much of its pastoral character. The property's farmland origins inform the routing, with fairways moving across open meadows and through corridors of mature trees that once served as field boundaries and windbreaks. Asmundson's design works with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, resulting in a layout that feels integrated into the Vermont landscape. The course features moderate elevation changes and a mix of hole types that take advantage of the property's varied topography. Several holes play along higher ground with views across the valley, while others occupy lower-lying areas where drainage and natural contours shape strategy. The design incorporates elements of traditional links golf—firm turf conditions, strategic bunkering, and ground-game options—adapted to an inland New England setting. Lang Farm serves as a public facility and hosts regional amateur competitions, providing accessible championship-length golf in the Burlington area. The course appeals to both locals and visitors seeking a straightforward test that emphasizes shot placement and course management over forced carries or artificial hazards. Its setting maintains a connection to Vermont's agricultural heritage while offering a playable layout across varied terrain.

Getting there
The journey to The Links at Lang Farm begins at Burlington International Airport, a compact and efficient gateway just fifteen minutes northwest of the course. The drive south traces the edge of Vermont's Champlain Valley, where open farmland meets the gentle rise of the Green Mountains to the east, and the brief transition from airport road to rural Route 15 feels less like travel than a quiet exhale into the countryside. The course itself sits on preserved agricultural land in Essex Junction, where the working barns and open pastures of the original Lang Farm still frame the first tee - a reminder that this is golf woven directly into the fabric of Vermont's agrarian landscape, not imposed upon it.
