Northern Exposure: More Stay and Play

Posted in Golf Resorts by on June 29th, 2011

In our continuing search for stay and play opportunities across the three northern states, we turned up a few more resort packages Balsams Grill Roomworth mentioning for their value, along with more deals between clubs and local lodging properties.  One that stands out is Vermont’s Woodstock Inn.  This inn with more than a century old tradition of service has a package with unlimited golf for two, including breakfast, cart and use of the practice facility for this Trent Jones Sr. layout for $298 per night.  For $458 a night and a two night stay, two can play a round at Queechee, a very exclusive private club and a round at Woodstock.

Another popular Vermont resort is Lake Morey, just off I-91 in Fairlee.  Home to the Vermont Open for fifty years, Lake Morey offers MAP packages including lodging, breakfast, dinner, golf and all the activities and amenities of the resort starting at $153 ppdo midweek, $175 weekends.  Stowe naturally comes to mind when thinking of any Vermont vacation and golf is a good reason to visit in summer.  The new Mountain Club is a private club but Inn at the Mountain has stay and play packages with the Stowe Country Club starting at $99 ppdo.  The club also distributes discount coupons with the various lodging properties in the village.  Golfers wanting to play the Stowe Mountain GC can stay at the Stowe Mountain Lodge, minimum two nights, starting at $409.53 per night with one round of golf, a $100 lodge credit and a bottle of champagne on arrival.  Another ski resort, Mount Snow has stay and play packages starting at $72 for lodging, green fees and cart.  Owned by the town of Killington, Green Mountain national is hardly your typical muny.  This spectacular track through the forest has stay and play starting at $89.

Lake Morey's 12th HoleIn New Hampshire we found deals from the coast to the mountains and the well known Mount Washington Valley has a bunch of courses and countless lodging options.  One we found was at the north end of the valley in Gorham.  The Town and Country Inn packages with Waumbek GC in Jefferson and Androscoggin Valley CC just a lob wedge away across Rte. 2, both 18 hole layouts.  The basic package for two golfers is $230 for one night’s lodging, full breakfast, dinner, a round of golf with cart and full use of the  recreational facilities.  Multi night packages bring the cost lower.  The organization has packages from Gorham in the north to south of Conway and even over into Maine.  

Golfers driving along Rte. 302 have certainly spotted the Bethlehem CC and had they stopped would have discovered the first Donald Ross course in New Hampshire.  The club lists too many lodging partners to list so there are plenty of options.  In Sutton, just off I-89 the Country Club of New Hampshire offers lodging, golf with cart, full breakfast and dinner starting at $125 mid week, ppdo.  

Where you stay and play in the three northern New England states is as simple as where you’re headed.  The states are filled with vacation locations and small cities where you might find yourself on business.  There are golf courses nearby wherever you might be so check them out.
