Course Report
Crown Point Country Club was ranked No. 4 among the Top 25 Friendliest Public Golf Courses in America.
About
Crown Point Country Club in Springfield, Vermont, is a scenic 18-hole, par-72 parkland course spanning 6,507 yards. Designed by William Mitchell in 1953, the course is known for its rolling terrain, mature trees, and challenging greens. Welcoming to both members and the public, it offers excellent playing conditions, panoramic mountain views, and a reputation for friendliness and accessibility.
Caddie Tip
Play attention to approach shots on elevated greens, as club selection can be tricky with frequent gusty winds. The back nine rewards careful tee shot placement—avoid the tree lines to have clear approaches, especially on holes with sloped fairways. Greens tend to break more than expected due to subtle contours caused by the natural landscape.
The Main Challenge
The most challenging feature is the combination of tight, tree-lined fairways and undulating Bentgrass greens. Players must drive accurately or risk difficult recovery shots. Elevation changes amplify club selection dilemmas, especially when wind is up. The closing stretch demands precise iron play and steady nerves to shoot a low score.
The Good
Golfers love the beautiful mountain views across the layout and the welcoming, friendly atmosphere. The fast but true Bentgrass greens, coupled with the rolling parkland terrain, provide significant visual enjoyment and playability. The course is widely praised for being both enjoyable for higher handicaps and challenging enough for regulars.
The Not So Good
The most common complaint is occasional sogginess in certain fairways after heavy rain and occasional pace-of-play issues during busy weekends. Some regulars wish for further drainage improvements on lower holes and minor updates to sand bunkers, but these rarely overshadow the overall positive experience.
