Cedar Knoll Country Club
About this course
Cedar Knoll Country Club sits in Hinesburg, Vermont, a rural town in the Champlain Valley west of Burlington. The club operates a 27-hole facility designed by Raymond Ayer, a Vermont-based golf course architect active in the mid-to-late 20th century who designed and redesigned several courses throughout New England. The South and West nines combine to form one of the three possible 18-hole configurations available to members and guests. The property occupies rolling Vermont farmland with views toward the Green Mountains to the east and the Adirondacks across Lake Champlain to the west. The routing works through moderate elevation changes typical of the region's agricultural landscape, with tree-lined fairways and a mix of open and wooded holes. The course reflects the straightforward design sensibilities common to New England layouts from Ayer's era, emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural contours of the land. Cedar Knoll functions as a traditional member-owned country club serving the greater Burlington area and Chittenden County. The club provides a social and recreational hub for the local community, with golf as the central amenity alongside typical clubhouse facilities. The course sees regular play throughout Vermont's golf season, which typically runs from late spring through mid-autumn, and hosts member competitions and local amateur events consistent with clubs of similar size and regional standing.

Getting there
Cedar Knoll Country Club sits in the rolling farmland of the Champlain Valley, roughly ninety minutes south of Burlington International Airport (BTV), Vermont's primary gateway, or two hours north of Albany International (ALB) across the New York border. The drive from either hub carries you through quintessential New England countryside - past dairy farms and hardwood forests that shift with the seasons - before turning onto quieter country roads that wind through Hinesburg's verdant landscape. For those with access to private aviation, Edward F. Knapp State Airport in Middlebury lies just twenty minutes away, offering a discreet alternative to commercial terminals. The final miles unfold beneath cathedral-tall maples and along the gentle contours of the Vermont terrain, arriving at Cedar Knoll's clubhouse with the unhurried grace befitting a course carved into this pastoral corner of the Northeast.
