Rutland Country Club is known statewide for greens that are small, fast, and true—surfaces that make its 6,185 yards play tougher than the card suggests. What started as a nine-hole layout on farmland became 18 holes in 1927, when Stiles and Van Kleek expanded the design. The course builds early comfort, then punishes it at No. 5: a 223-yard par 3 that’s all carry to a sloping green where leaving yourself above the hole invites trouble. After the turn, the routing climbs the hillside, demanding precise tee shots and committed approaches into several elevated greens, with mountain views stretching in every direction. No. 14 delivers the best of it—wide-open, panoramic scenery that becomes electric during foliage season.
