Ekwanok Country Club
Ekwanok Country Club was established in 1899 in Manchester, Vermont and the golf course was built by the famous golfer and golf course architect Walter Travis. Ekwanok is known for having an old-school feel. [1]
In 1914, Francis Ouimet won the title he most coveted, the U.S. Amateur, downing Jerry Travers 6 & 5 in the 36-hole final at Ekwanok Country Club in the resort town of Manchester, Vermont. [2]
The Golf Club at Equinox abuts the course and it too was designed by Walter Travis. [3]
Seventh Hole
The most famous hole is the seventh hole, which is a par 5 playing 595 yards. It is an extremely long hole considering the time that it was built and "Travis worked with the land and the result is a uniquely memorable hole with a hill that bisects the fairway from the 300 to 370 yard mark." [4]
