I played Woodstock Country Club in Woodstock VT. It is a quirky, tight course that was fun enough but I didn’t think it was worth the money they get for it. I picked it because my son was driving down from Burlington, VT and I was driving up from MetroWest MA. Next time I will look for a different course.
Woodstock is a nice course but I agree it is not worth the published rate. I try to play it when I find a deal on GolfNow, that's about it. If you are a Links Card holder, Green Mountain National, Barre Country Club, and Rutland CC are all good spots that can be played to much better prices than Woodstock. Woodstock and Quechee Lakes cater specifically to a certain upscale set of tourists and locals, and their rates are very high. Woodstock used to have better deals on GolfNow, but the last coupl years they have not offered up much. I've only played there once this season, where I have played more often in previous years.
My top recommendation halfway between you and Burlington, is Montcalm Golf Club across from Whaleback Mtn., right off I-89. Very easy access. If you are a Golf and Ski All Star Rewards card holder, you can play 18 with cart for $70 weekdays and $75 weekends after 11am. The course and views are top notch, great conditioning, and well worth the $70. It was a private course, but now has gone semi-private to create more traffic.
