Mount Anthony Country Club

Mount Anthony Country Club sits on elevated terrain above Bennington in southwestern Vermont, offering views across the Green Mountains and into neighboring New York State. The course was designed by A. John Harvey, a regional architect active in New England during the early-to-mid twentieth century who created layouts that worked with natural topography rather than imposing dramatic earth-moving on the land. The routing takes advantage of the hillside setting, with holes that move across sloping ground and incorporate the natural contours into playing strategy. The course features a mix of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies characteristic of mountain golf in this part of Vermont. Tree-lined fairways and small, subtly contoured greens reflect the design sensibilities of the era when the course was built. Mount Anthony serves as a traditional community club for the Bennington area, providing a home course for local members while welcoming visitors to experience golf in this corner of Vermont. The setting offers a quieter alternative to resort destinations elsewhere in the state, with the surrounding landscape changing dramatically through the seasons—from lush summer conditions to the vivid foliage of autumn that draws visitors to the region. The club maintains its role as a gathering place for the local golfing community, with a clubhouse that serves both social and dining functions typical of established country clubs in smaller New England towns.
