Great track!

Been coming to the area for 15 years and this was the best shape I’ve seen the course, particularly the greens. Staff was very friendly but didn’t Mention that 2 of the holes (8 and 18) were on temporary greens. Other than that highly recommend!

Good start to the season

Course is in excellent shape. Currently, three greens are in the process of being renovated as well as all of the sand traps. This course is always in beautiful condition and the views of the green mountains are incredible.

I booked a tee time on golf now at the equinox this is the second time I've played there it's a very nice course great staff excellent condition course fairways and greens are above par great improvements all over however the price of some entities are a little extreme if I do say so myself for instance a cart rental for 18 holes is roughly $27 for one person and my golf buddy bought a Gatorade from the cart boy which cost him $4 for a 12 oz I paid $7 for 8 oz can of beer little pricey if you ask me for an 8 oz it should be no more than $4 and for Gatorade no more than $3 at the prices that they're charging for drinks they're making four times a profit which is not ethical especially during the summer hours when we have very very high humidity and they do not allow coolers at the course so you were forced to either deal with the heat and humidity and possibly succumb to heat exhaustion or have an extra $30 for drinks to play an 18-hole course

Spring golf in Vermont

Tee to green was excellent. Greens had been top coated so putting was uneven. This is springtime so must expect maintenance for better conditions to come.

Nice course but bunkers need better drainage & work

Very nice course- bunkers need help though - shouldn’t have stones the size of quarters in a bunker & #18 needs total redo

Ok- but not as expected

The Equinox, heard a lot about it and when we came up to Manchester for my daughters wedding, This was a good opportunity to play it. An OK public course, in fairly good condition, but the bunkers??? Totally unacceptable. I thought maybe they were under construction, but from the other reviews, I guess not. Put some sand or maybe crushed marble (in keeping with Manchester, similar to Augusta) in the bunkers! The shot over the street is funky, wonder how many cars have been hit since there is no warning either on the course or the street! No food at the clubhouse. Probably a one and done. Have to figure out how to play the original “private” Ekwinok or nearby Dorest.

Worth the Trip

Spectacular views from all over the course. Great shape greens and fairways. Sand Traps need some work. Teed off at 240 played with a guy 9 holes then the back alone. Caught a group last 2 holes but still was done by 6pm. You will pay 25 for a cart if you book thru GolfNow. But 55 total to play that course was worth the 3 hr drive home. 7th hole was interesting. Par 5 2nd shot you have to hit over the street that you can’t see. Pretty cool hole.

Green Mtn of Vermont

Resort course..thinking temperatures approaching 90s had most players teeing off in morning. The afternoon made the course look like our own private course.

Fun layout

Really liked the course, fairways, tees and greens in great shape, some of the bunkers were a little rough but looked to be from recent heavy rains, hopefully fixed up soon. Pace of play was 4:40, but it was a hot humid day so may have accounted for that. I would definitely play again next time in the area.
