Lake St. Catherine Country Club opened in 1925 as a nine-hole course, and was expanded to 18 holes in the mid-1990s. It measures about 6,200 yards, though the elevation changes throughout the property can make it play closer to 6,600. The opening four holes come from the original nine, while the fifth tee begins the newer holes, with larger, more undulating greens and a route through a small valley framed by hills on either side.
The back nine takes in Vermont scenery, starting with the 530-yard 10th, the longest hole, which offers a wide landing area but out of bounds left. The 11th plays with an elevation change on the approach, the short 14th is a demanding par three, and the 15th looks toward the clubhouse, Lake St. Catherine and the Green Mountains.
The Fairways Grille serves drinks and light fare, and its deck overlooks the 9th and 18th greens.
