Great location and was fun with a big group of friends but the facilities leave a lot to be desired NOTE: The golf course is beautiful and well kept though so I recommend playing 18 here The property location 5/5: Can't beat it, right on the basin harbor in lake Champlain by Vergenned, VT this place has its own dock, pickleball/tennis courts, and other places to take in natural beauty. For watersports and a Vermont vacation it's beautiful The facilities 2/5: Nothing was open, there were times when neither the bar nor restaurant were open leaving us to drive 30min to find food. The rooms/cottages are very dated and can use quite a bit of refreshing. Some of the other facilities were dirty such as the dock missing some steps on the stairs, bird poop all over the water sports equipment, and lack of staff read more

Basin Harbor Club - The view - Golf Near Me - Vergennes, Vermont

Flying Over The Golf Club at Basin Harbor - Vergennes, VT Every now and then, a spot comes along that makes you stop mid-flight and just take it all in. That's exactly what happened during my recent visit to The Golf Club at Basin Harbor in Vergennes, Vermont. Even though Drone Shot Media usually focuses on locations in New York, this course right on the shores of Lake Champlain was calling my name. From above, it's just stunning--lush fairways, rolling greens, and then out of nowhere, that huge expanse of sparkling lake stretching out into the horizon. Sunrise here was on another level--the kind of light that makes you wish you could bottle it up and use it on every shoot. What really stood out to me was the balance between the manicured beauty of the course and the raw, natural edge of the lakefront. One second I was framing up a perfectly designed green with its bunkers, and the next, I was drifting the drone out toward the rocky shoreline, where the water was catching the light like glass. There were definitely some challenges--like managing the glare from the lake while keeping the course crisp and detailed--but honestly, those challenges are what make a shoot memorable. By the end, I walked away with some of my favorite golf course shots to date. If you ever find yourself in the area, this course is worth a visit, even if you're just there for the views.

So disappointing. Granted it's a beautiful spot at the bottom of Lake Champagne. However, the entire place needs a good cleaning. The cottages are covered in green mold and need a power wash. Our room on the second floor of the inn was slanted like it is going to fall off and was very dated. The beautiful covered porch overlooking the lake was dirty there cobwebs with big spiders everywhere. It was so bad you could not enjoy sitting out there. The food was good as well as the Hanger restaurant on the same grounds. However the windows desperately needed to be cleaned or replaced at the Hanger and took our appetites away as we were seated at the windows. Everyone that worked there was really nice. Someone was playing the piano under our room at 4:30am. We had to call the front desk to ask them to please make it stop. We couldn't get back to sleep and ended up just leaving to go home, we had had enough. For years we could not wait to vacation here and we were very disappointed. We stayed here in 2024. Hopefully they have either managed to hire help to maintain it or invested the money required to maintain it. read more

My cousin worked there for over 17 years and was a valued employee UNTIL she asked for grief counseling after a fatal plane accident took place there. They ran her out illegally and forced her to become unemployed after working there over 17 years!! The management there are unethical and morally corrupt and treat workers there (not just my cousin) like disposable garbage! Add in the fact that they are overpriced, there are far better places to vacation at on Lake Champlain in Vermont! DONT GO THERE!! read more

Overall, a VERY good experience. The view on the water is unmatched. Watching the cranes and the sunrise is immaculate. The decor and ambiance are awesome and breakfast was delectable. Not giving 5 stars because there's a general attitude from most of the visitors that gives privileged and pompous and I felt really looked down on. That didn't make me feel welcomed. read more

Don't go there BIPOC. Period. Went there and the bartender straight up refused to serve me on two different occasions. I had to send WHITE friends to the bar to get me a drink. Such a bummer, but the bartender on 8/10/22 looked me dead in the face both times and I was first / next in line and he turned away and served others. Will NEVER RETURN. read more

Huge dissapointment! The facilities are worn down and dirty. Peeling paint, lots of dust and cobwebs. Even the front door to the lodge is so disgusting you don't want to touch it. The service was a mixed bag. Some were very pleasant and helpful (front desk and coffee shop) and others barely acknowledged you or were downright rude with terse replies to questions (dining room hosts). The food was OK. The only thing great was the Sushi! They have a special Sushi menu at the bar, and the chef there is awesome. The Red Mill was good overall but being closed 3-5 (prime happy hour time on holidays) is a head-scratcher. If you forget anything you'll have to drive into town because the Harbor store is useless. Mostly barren shelves. It's an OK place to get ice cream when the machine is working (it was out the first day we visited). They didn't even have spoons for the ice cream when we went the next day. Our room location and view was fantastic, but the room itself was gross, clearly hadn't been dusted in a while (ever?), and had a plumbing leak and smelled of urine in the bathroom. Both window units had clogged filters. The "heated pool" wasn't heated, and there was no service at the pool. Overall - this resort is just run down and not well maintained, resulting in buyers' remorse. We will not return. read more

The Basin Harbor Club has a wide range of activities and faculties which are staffed by an attentive crew and geared to families vacationing with their children. But the rooms themselves are very small, the A/C is noisy and overall they are a huge disappointment for the price! read more

We had another great trip. This was our third visit. Even during covid they did a great job. The kids love swimming in the lake. We also played golf a few times and went to a lobster bake lakeside. read more

Reserved a 4 hour pontoon boat rental. Drove 2 hours to show up for them to inform us they're not letting boats out because the water is too choppy. They didn't inform us this morning because they didn't want to accidentally lose revenue if the water turned out okay. Didn't even inform us of the possibility we wouldn't be able to go out. 4 hours wasted. read more
