840.3 | Vermont is a great place to go | NSG018::STOPERA | | Fri Jan 05 1990 07:54 | 22 |
| My family holds a tourny every year, we always go to Vermont, we had
60+ golfers last year, anyway some of the places we've been:
Killington - good price and nice course
Snow - home of the golf school - again fair price and nice course
Stowe - good price and nice course
Never been to but they do have packages:
Haystacks - near Snow (about 2 hours from Nashua)
Quichee - I think it's on the high side again about 2 hours from
Nashua, but I think it's a great course(s)
Statton (sp?)- Every time we check it out, it too pricey, but it's a great
course.

840.4 | More info on Vermont | NSG018::STOPERA | | Fri Jan 05 1990 07:59 | 14 |
| Re. -1
I forgot some things:
Stay in a condo not a motel - much nicer, all the Vermont places have
millions of condo's around sitting idle during the summer months
Bargin hard with who ever you talk with, these places want and need
your $$
Don't bother to call now, call in March, most places are now geared up
for the skiers and don't have any info on golf packages yet

840.6 | Lake Morey golf. | TEAOFF::TUFTS | | Wed Jan 10 1990 11:41 | 24 |
| I played Lake Morey in September on a special deal for the Fall. It was
$75 for two nights lodging, 2 breakfasts, and 2 dinners and 2 rounds of
golf. Cart fees were extra. I thought it was a great deal!
The course was nice, sufficiently challenging for me, but I'm not sure
it would be for 20 women "scratch" golfers. Where did you ever find
such a group?
Lake Morey is in Fairlee, VT. right on the edge of a beautiful large
lake with clear water. They have great facilites, tennis courts, indoor
and outdoor pools, free use of boats and canoes, shuffleboard, etc.
Mid to late September is great for golf and foliage up there. Call and
ask them to send the info.
One negative---many senior citizen couples take advantage of these
great rates and play golf. (Most seemed to have recently taken up the
game and it can be very slow. But then, scratch golfers should ask to
be the first five foursomes out that day because no one will come close
to catching them.
Enjoy!
Sharon 20 scratch golfers in one place?? All women?? Not the
LPGA????

Have you been to Jack O'Lantern in North Woodstock, NH? See note 547
for more info on packages. I can also get you a copy of the 1990
brochure/price schedule.

840.9 | Wentworth in Jackson | DUGGAN::DIAZ | Octavio @GSB | Wed Jan 10 1990 13:14 | 20 |
| I have gone skiing every year to the North Conway area and have
stayed at the Wentworth Resort Inn in Jackson. They have a golf
course which is used for X-country skiing in the winter. I have
asked about it and they told me is a nice course, but then it was the
Inn people who said so. If someone has played that course I myself
would like to hear some comments about it.
In any case I really enjoy staying there, it's a very nice New
Englandish Inn with superb food at very reasonable prices. I payed
about $50 per night during Christmas, no meals, because I wanted to
try several local restaurants which are also very good, but they have
all-included packages. And Jackson is a very quaint village, apart
from the traffic of North Conway.
And then you have all the factory outlets in Conway. I always end up
spending more there than in skiing, and I was spending over $100 a
day skiing for my family of four, but you can find very good items at
a very good price.

840.10 | Wentworth is worth it!! | CSTEAM::GRIFFIN | | Wed Jan 10 1990 13:30 | 17 |
| Re:.9 (Tavo)
Great little course. I've played 3-4 tournaments there a year over
the last 10 years. It's a par 69, somewhat on the short side (I
forget the actual yardage), but tight enough to really make it a
challenge. It's one of those courses that makes you think. There's
a couple of very tough holes (#4, a par three, 180 yards uphill
and narrow!!) and a few giveaways (drivable par 4's). It really
rewards the good shot and penalizes for the bad. The real problem
I have with the course is that you can't go straight at the pin
on most of your shots. You HAVE to play a lot of bump and run.
Greens fees last year ran about $16-20. Cart extra. The course moves
pretty well and it's usuall a 3-3 1/2 hour round. My opinion, it's
well worth it to play if you get the chance.
