When to Visit Vermont Golf Courses

Since Vermont is situated so far north, their golf season window can be short. If you are planning a trip it’s best to keep the parameters between the late spring and early fall to avoid the cold. However, the summer is absolute peak season because the weather is described as “exquisite”.
