Lying just
a mile or so out from the center of the state's
second largest city, the Rutland Country Club
is one of the grand dames of Vermont golf. It
opened to play in 1896 on a nine hole layout
designed by George Low. It was expanded to eighteen
in 1928 under the guiding hand of Wayne Stiles.
The course has been "growing in" ever
since. Relatively few changes have been made
to the layout. They haven't been necessary.
Few clubs in the entire state receive higher
all-around marks from the golfing public than
does Rutland. This esteemed venue is the favorite
course of quite a few good Central Vermont golfers.
It is a course that players look forward to
playing again and again. Comments and feedback
by players are surprisingly consistent when
it comes to this venue.
