| Golf began in
St. Johnsbury in 1923 when Willie Park, Jr., two-time winner of the
British Open designed nine diverse, interesting and singular golf holes
for the newly formed club. It would be the last of Park’s 60 North
American designs due to his ailing health. The Installation of the greens
was completed by his brother Mungo. In 1992 famed architect Geoffrey Cornish, aided by lifelong member Jim Havers, cradled the original nine in the embrace of nine peripheral holes. While the older holes require finesse, the new nine demand power. Bring your best up-and-down skills to par the outward half, display placement and clear thinking on the way home.
