Open to the public seven days a week, Mt. Anthony Country Club features an 18-hole regulation length course: 6,364 yards of golf from the blue tees for a par of 71. The course rating is 70.5 and it has a slope rating of 127.
A major golf course renovation is under way under the direction of Golf Course Architect, A. John Harvey, of the RBA Group to take full advantage of the spectacular Green Mountain location and challenge players at every level. The restoration process includes reshaping of bunkers and tee complexes. No more than two complexes are being worked on at the same time, so the inconvenience to golfers is minimal. A systematic agronomic program has been initiated in existing grass areas, fairways and greens to improve the overall quality of the turf. You will be able to enjoy the course even as you see the careful renovation process up close.
Please note that:
- Members can reserve tee times 7 days in advance.
- Non-members can register 3 days in advance.
- Players should sign-in at the Pro Shop 15 minutes before tee time.

Golf Tip of the Month from the Pro
In the previous tip we learned about the grip, now the next step is the STANCE.
The proper stance will get you in a good athletic position for the golf swing. The first thing you need to do is stand straight up with your legs together. Now spread your legs to shoulder width apart. Next bend at your waist until your arms can swing freely below your shoulders. Now bend your knees slightly. You should almost feel like you are resting your back-end on a bar stool. With the correct stance you will be able to make a good swing through the ball.
Thank you,
John Cleanthes, PGA Professional
