Re-reading your original post - if you’re looking for a really special round the courses i mentioned aren’t it. Arundel or an afternoon tee time at Portsmouth cc (i think all the am tee times are for members).
With how many courses you have played in NH I was saddened that you have only played one in Vermont. Underrated golf state! How did you like Nashua CC? I am going on my second year as an assistant at NCC.

Thanks! Very much appreciated it! Everything I was seeing looked like Portsmouth CC is fully private. Is it semi-private? I’m a little nervous about waiting on Arundale since I could only book 3 days in advance as a non member. I may see if the head pro at my home course could reach out about arranging a tee time though.
Family in NH and barely get to Vermont, unfortunately. Want to play more.
Played Nashua in high school (20ish years ago 
), so don’t remember a ton. Had good thoughts at the time.
10 years ago I played it a handful of times and it was semi private. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it hd gone fully since though.

It definitely went full private for a stretch during the pandemic, but not sure if it was temporary or a permanent switch.

Hey man, I am so sorry that I am just seeing this! I live in Stowe and am the General Manager of Michael’s on the Hill. I’ll give you a quick rundown of your options, hopefully you get this in time!
Nonskiers: Stowe Bowl is wicked fun.
Gonzo’s Golf is your simulator option. It’s wicked fun, but it’s in South Burlington, ~30 minute drive. Great bar, games, simulator options though.
Stowe Cider is a really great all day venue. Lots of great local cider, games, etc
Alfie’s Wild Ride is also a wicked fun option. All day bar featuring tabletop shuffleboard, darts, indoor cornhole and most importantly, the only Golden Tee in town.
Restaurants:
Most importantly: I am the General Manager of Michael’s on the Hill. In my humble opinion we are the best restaurant in town and I am sure that I can figure out a way to get you guys in if you’re interested.
Doc Ponds is your best bet for elevated bar food. Really solid, consistent food, great cocktails
The Matterhorn is a must-hit too. The absolute most classic ski bar in town. Great bartenders, always wicked fun
Fritz Bar at the Stowehof is wicked fun too. Small, old school spot. Great vibes and solid food options.
I hope I’m not too late to help on your bachelor’s party!!!

I think I’m just going to watch this live feed all week. Beautiful Vermont spring with the crew doing bunker work on the first. I’m certainly getting impatient but love watching these guys out here getting the course ready! Also, peep the new green at the first

Wow - that looks awesome. We’ll have to get out to Middlebury soon!
If anyone ready to get out for an early season tee time, let me know! I’m itching and ready to go

I think I’m going to try to sneak up to Lang Farm this afternoon before the downpour this weekend.

Somehow have never been to Lang Farm, or Williston for that matter, might have to soon.
Anyone interested in doing a Memorial day weekend round/meetup somewhere near BTV/Stowe/Middlebury?

Where did you have in mind?
I was thinking of headed to Ralph Myhre in Middlebury, but happy to head anywhere!
I 
Ralph Myhre. If we can get a four together, I’m in for sure. Would have to be Monday since I’m doing the Burlington relay on Saturday.
Anyone played the VT AM or mid-am before? I was thinking of signing up as something to work towards but don’t really want to go get my dick punched in shooting a 77 at Williston.
Monday would work great for me - anyone else want to join??
@VTSoxFan @Number45 any interest?
@tigergolftraveler you up here yet, good chance to get some VT golf in!
Any NH folks willing to make the trip up? I know Middlebury is definition “can’t get there from here.”
Hey guys, I LOVE Ralph Myhre, it’s a wicked fun course. 100% worth the drive. Unfortunately I can’t make it out that way Monday. Stowe Country Club is having a Memorial Day scramble that it looks like I’ll be playing in. If you’re interested in playing I can check, might have a couple spots open.
Thanks for the offer! Can’t make it this weekend, plans already. Would be very fun to do some Vermont meet up at some point. I’m in the White River Junction area, so Middlebury is a haul…
Also, I’ve played the VT Am and Mid Am numerous times. Made the cut at the Am a few times, it’s such a great event and the VGA does a good job running things. Am is at Brattleboro this year, which is a fun track. Reminds me of Green Mountain National, if you’re familiar with that place. Mid Am at Stowe CC, which will be very fun…that seems like an awesome match play course. I’ve lost in first round of match play at Mid Am the last two years, including at Bratt last year. One of these years, would be fun to win a few matches in the Mid Am…
Unfortunately, not playing either the Am or Mid Am this year…going to Scotland for two weeks and my money and vacation time is VERY much already allocated to the Scotland trip.
Highly recommend Am and Mid Am. At Williston, you usually only need 77-79 to qualify, IIRC. Rutland qualifier could go any direction…tons of good players there, but Rutland serves out dick punches to pretenders pretty easily…
