Westport Country Club
About this course
Westport Country Club sits in the Adirondack region of upstate New York, in the small lakeside town of Westport on the western shore of Lake Champlain. The course was designed by Thomas Winton, a regional architect active in the northeastern United States during the early-to-mid twentieth century. The setting places the layout within view of the lake and the Green Mountains of Vermont across the water, with the Adirondack peaks rising to the west. The routing works across rolling terrain typical of the Champlain Valley, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing corridors. Holes move through a mix of open and tree-lined fairways, with mature hardwoods framing many approaches. The design reflects the straightforward, playable style common to courses built for small-town clubs in this era, emphasizing strategic positioning over length and offering variety in hole lengths and angles. Westport Country Club serves a local membership drawn from the surrounding communities and seasonal residents of the Adirondack region. The club maintains a traditional, low-key atmosphere consistent with the character of the area, where golf fits into the broader recreational culture of the Champlain Valley. The course provides a regional option for golfers seeking a round in a scenic, less-traveled part of New York's North Country.

Getting there
The journey to Westport Country Club begins at Burlington International Airport in Vermont, just across Lake Champlain, or Albany International to the south, each roughly an hour and a half by car through the Adirondack foothills. The drive north along the western shore of Lake Champlain on Route 22 is a study in pastoral restraint - stone walls, working farms, and glimpses of water through the trees - before the road delivers you into the quiet hamlet of Westport itself. Here, tucked between the lake and the rising peaks, the club occupies a serene pocket of shoreline that feels worlds removed from the interstate, a destination defined as much by its remoteness as by its understated Adirondack elegance.
