It has been a few years since I had the opportunity to play Ekwanok CC. It is a wonderful old course, and club, situated in a beautiful Vermont Green Mountain valley. Within the past 15 years, or so, Bruce Hepner, of Renaissance Golf has done extensive bunker renovation/restoration and a rebuild of the 11th green. His work highlights the classic heritage of Ekwanok. Ekwanok, of course, is private. But, if you have a very good friend who is a member there, you should do all you can to work out a home-and-home arrangement. It is a very special place.
John Duncan Dunn should be given lead-credit as the original designer of Ekwanok's course. Reports indicate that Walter Travis accompanied Dunn and provided assistance during the construction of the course. It was a favorite place for Walter Travis. He and his wife are buried just across the road from Ekwanok CC.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area
