Description

Overview

Established in 1899, the golf course at Ekwanok was one of the first 18-hole golf courses in the United States that stood favorable comparison with some of the famous courses in the United Kingdom. Designed by Walter J. Travis and John Duncan Dunn, the course incorporates strategic bunkering, contoured greens, and an imaginative routing in which not more than two holes are oriented in the same direction. Thanks in part to the excellent Travis-Dunn design, Ekwanok is the only club in Vermont to have hosted a United States Golf Association tournament.

Ekwanok's membership is made up of golfers from some of the greatest clubs in the country. They take great pride in the club, as well as furthering the careers of its staff. The ideal candidate must have a strong desire to move on to a management position in the golf industry.

The golf season is May through October and averages 11,000 - 12,000 rounds per season.
