In 1922 men of the “Middlebury Country Club” swung their first brassies, mashers, and drivers on their newly completed nine-hole golf course. Sure, the club lacked today’s carts, pro shop, and restaurant, but the course passed through scenic pastures, and the sheep handled the mowing, even if they couldn't differentiate green from fairway.
In 1963 the club’s course became the College’s, and in 1978, Ralph Myhre expanded the nine holes to 18. He designed the par 71 course to move with the landscape, giving views of the Green Mountains from nearly every tee box.
It’s a favorite place on campus for golfers and non-golfers alike, many of whom run and bike on the TAM (Trail Around Middlebury) that passes around the fairways, borrowing their vistas. The curious can even take golf lessons for PE credit.
Playing 18 holes is affordable for students, and the clubhouse is a favorite stop for alumni, or anyone looking for a beer with a view.
