Course has workers digging holes one every other hole with piles of dirt right in front of tee box. Food at the restaurant is quite awful. May have been the worst burger I have ever had. How do you mess up a burger!!! so bad. My suggestion play a round at Mt Snow at half the price and have a burger at Snow Republic.

The course is beautiful, with a manageable front and long back 9 (6500 yrs) from the middle tees. The course is open and even high handicap golfers will not lose many balls; there are really only a few spots on the course that are truly out of bounds. The staff is typically very friendly, Jeremy who manages the bag room is particularly nice. The pros are all great too. The whole place is well maintained, as they do host PGA (junior/womens) events from time to time. The greens play very fast towards the end of summer, and some of them slope in ways that will really frustrate anyone. Price-wise, the place is on the upper end if you have no college affiliation (about 140 or so) but is exceptionally cheap for students (35 dollars) so definitely a place to visit if you are in the area and still in school. The course truly cannot be recommended enough, and it offers some exceptional views of both the Williams College campus and the surrounding areas.

Our Safari Club of Golf took it's annual adventure to Crumpin Fox back in mid May this year. As…read morehas been customary for us to expect each season, the most recent trip was even better than the last one. The golf course has always been special, even way back when it was only 9 holes. But just when you wonder what could they possible do to make it even better, they seem to come up with something special once again. However, the clearing of trees over the recent couple of years has made what were formerly good greens and nice fairways into spectacular features. If you're looking for a truly special golfing experience, put Crumpin Fox on your bucket list of must do travel destinations.

As soon as we arrived the starter was ready to hold our bags while we had lunch. I suggest you dine at their Dormy Grill. The food there was excellent and the outside patio's view speaks for itself. When we were ready to go out, the starter was able to fit us in as a two-some so we wouldn't feel uncomfortable playing with more advanced players. The holes are nicely laid out. The course is a bit hilly towards the end of the nine. If you have the opportunity to play there, you will not be disappointed.

It strikes the perfect balance between high-speed efficiency and classic East Coast après vibes. The Mountain: 86 Trails of Pure Variety With 86 trails, there is a clear "mood" for every face of the mountain. The Main Face: Where the Bluebird Express (the famous six-pack bubble chair) lives. It's 66% intermediate, making it a "blue cruiser" heaven. North Face: Hit this if you want the steep stuff and glades. It's where the expert terrain hides. Carinthia: 100 acres of pure terrain park. Even if you don't hit jumps, riding the lift over this area to watch the pros is a show in itself. When to Visit Go: Late January through early March for the best snow. Mid-week is the "pro move" to avoid the Epic Pass weekend crowds. Avoid: Holiday weekends. The lines at the Bluebird can get brutal. The Logistics: Fireplaces & Live Music The Vibe: For that classic lodge feel, head to the Grand Summit Resort or the Fireplace Lodge. There is nothing better than thawing out your boots by a massive stone hearth. The Party: You haven't truly "done" Mount Snow until you hit Cuzzins. The live music here (look for local legend Bruce Jacques on Saturdays) is electric. It's loud, high-energy, and the quintessential "dancing in your ski boots" experience. The Mandatory Pitstop: Vermont Country Deli Do not--I repeat, do not--drive back south without stopping at the Vermont Country Deli in Brattleboro. The Order: Get the Mac and Cheese. It's roughly $4.29 per 1/2 lb (or $12.99 for a "Take & Bake" tray). It's famous for its heavy, crispy cheddar crust and creamy center. Pro Tip: Add their maple pulled pork on top. It's life-changing. Verdict: A world-class lift system and the best terrain park in the East. Just be prepared for $199+ window tickets if you don't book in advance!

The staff at the mountain were all very helpful, friendly, and professional. The mover vans were convenient, taking us from the lodging to the mountain. They run every 15 minutes like clockwork. --Speaking of sticker shock the food at the mountain is very expensive, like ridiculously expensive. Six dollars for a 12 ounce bottled water! $8.50 for a waffle with some chocolate syrup on it? Even the 'authentic' NY pizza is $10 a slice and the slices are small and don't even really look like NY pizza. --The saving grace with the food would definitely be the macaroni and cheese, and they have many versions: like Pesto!. It comes out hot in these giant skillets. Definitely the winner if you're eating on the mountain, but I would suggest bringing your own food and water or else you're going to get fleeced. --Although the skiing and food were very expensive, the experience was worth it, and we will definitely be returning. --FYI-People from Vermont are super nice and helpful.

The balls are located in the trailer/snack shack near the range, but each time we go, we head inside to the office. I don't believe they staff the trailer. Next to the lodge is a small driving range. The tee areas are a bit old, so you'll have to drive from the grass. Not really a big deal. They provide an ample amount of wooden tees. They have clubs you can use, but most are rather old. We always bring our own clubs. The range is marked off by yards and the grass is cut regularly. There's a very nice view of the hills surrounding the course. It's most likely an even better view come fall. Behind the range, they have a small putt-putt course that looks to be entertaining for little kids. This is fairly no frills driving range. But where else in Southern VT can you get a rather large bucket of balls for $5? Or anywhere else for that matter?
