Jay Peak Golf Course

With its wooded setting, stunning mountain and valley views, and uniquely landscaped surroundings, it’ll take full advantage of the beauty found only in this corner of the Northeast Kingdom. It's a design that doesn't just follow the terrain; it flows through it. Fairways climb and descend along and across fall lines. Greens and tee boxes sit atop hills and tuck into valleys. Each hole will feature 5 sets of tees allowing for all levels of play by adjusting the angle and length of the course from 5,000 yards to nearly 7,000 yards. This is the result of a world-class vision and the incomparable Jay landscape.
