Golf in Vermont is more than just a game—it’s a year-round contributor to the state’s economy, environment, and communities. Across Vermont, golf supports more than 5,000 jobs, generates hundreds of millions of dollars in economic impact, and contributes significant tax revenue that helps fund local services. At the same time, courses preserve over 10,000 acres of greenspace, providing valuable wildlife habitat, supporting sustainability efforts, and protecting the natural landscapes that make Vermont so special. Beyond the numbers, golf plays a meaningful role in bringing people together—hosting hundreds of community events each year and raising millions of dollars for local nonprofits while supporting Vermont’s farms and small businesses.
