Stowe Country Club is an 18-hole private golf club originally designed by William Mitchell that opened in 1969. The golf course is set in the iconic village of Stowe, VT with views of the Worcester mountain range, Mount Mansfield, and Camel’s Hump. The golf course is undergoing a major renovation. All greens, tees, bunkers, fairways, and irrigation are being renovated. Stowe Country Club has partnered with Beau Welling Design as the architect, Paul Granger as the irrigation consultant, and NMP Golf Construction as the general contractor. We will open the newly renovated front nine and close the back nine for renovation in the spring of 2025. The grand opening of the full 18-holes will be in the spring of 2026. A new 13,000 square foot turf care center was built in 2024 to support the newly renovated golf course.
